BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINABuenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is one of the largest cities in Latin America. Buenos Aires is one of the world’s busiest ports, and Argentina’s financial, industrial, commercial, and social centre. It is the most heavily industrialized city of Argentina, and the city of great wealth. The city was founded in 1536 by a Spanish royal gold-seeking expedition under Pedro de Mendoza. British troops invaded Buenos Aires in 1806, when Spain was allied with France. Their expulsion from the city without Spanish help stimulated the drive to establish independence from Spain. On May 25, 1810, armed citizens of the town council demanded resignation of the Spanish viceroy and established a provisional representative government. Argentina’s official independence was established on July 9, 1816. |
