Argentina in the viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The current territory of Argentina was part of the viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata during the period immediately prior to its independence. During this period, which spans from the formation of the viceroyalty in 1776 until the May Revolution of 1810 and the definitive dissolution of the viceroyalty the following year, the until then autonomous colonial provinces of Tucumán and Río de la Plata were united for the first time in a single administrative unit, with capital and center in the city of Buenos Aires, which has continued to be, to the present, the capital and most important city of the Argentine Republic.

The viceroyalty also included the territories of the current republics of Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, which during the independence process were separated from the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata – initial name of the current Argentine State – due to the evolution of the war of independence. and serious disagreements about the organization of the State.
