Argentina is considered a country of immigrants,[8] due to the different immigration waves that took place in the past, particularly during the 20th century. However, as a result of political, social and economic crisis that occurred in the country in the past decades, such as the Argentine military dictatorship (1976–1983), the riots of 1989, or the Argentine Great Depression (1998–2002), many Argentines chose emigration seeking stability and new opportunities. Common emigration destinations have been other countries in the Americas or the native countries of Argentine citizens' parents or grandparents (mainly Spain and Italy).[9]
By 2022, 97,000[10] Argentine-born citizens lived in Spain.
The ancestral origins of the Argentine nation show recent ancestors of generations predominantly as Spanish and Italian, but with strong French, Russian, Arab, German, Native American, African, Slavic and Semitic components. However, they faced very different legal circumstances that Spain and Italy had long before they joined the European Union migration policy, thousands of people a day come to the consulates of Spain to process the new nationality or obtain a visa. The Argentines are the fourth most numerous Latin American community in Spain, having recently been surpassed by Venezuelans.[11]
