As of 2018, Argentina boasts a literacy level of 99 percent, a remarkable achievement rooted in its complex history. Initially inhabited by hunter-gatherer groups who coexisted peacefully, Argentina later fell under the influence of the Inca Empire, followed by the Spanish invasion. The nation declared independence in 1816, but this was just the beginning of a tumultuous journey marked by civil wars. Argentina's narrative is not solely defined by conflict; it also features rich civilizations and notable figures, such as José de San Martín and the controversial Juan Manuel de Rosas. The country's vibrant culture began to gain international recognition in the 19th century, with the May Revolution serving as a catalyst for other Latin American nations to seek independence. While many are familiar with Juan Perón and his wife Eva, fewer know about his third wife, Isabel, who also served as president. This exploration of Argentina's past highlights the diverse groups that inhabited the land before European colonization, the impact of Spanish conquistadors, the struggle for independence, and the waves of immigrants who shaped its economy and society. Additionally, it covers Argentina's stance during the world wars, Perón's political legacy, and the dark periods of the "Dirty War" and the Falkland War. Discover a fuller picture of this beautiful nation and its journey through history.
