Argentina is a very interesting and quite beautiful nation. Though it has suffered economically in the past few years, it is a country with a vast number of natural resources and a strong standing among the Spanish-speeking nations in the region. It's capital city, Buenos Aires, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Argentina is a nation with promise, but it is also a nation with a history. Its future rest largely on strong cooperation with its neighbors and the continuation of a democratic government.

Following independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina experienced periods of internal political conflict between conservatives and liberals and between civilian and military factions. After World War II, a long period of Peronist authoritarian rule and interference in subsequent governments was followed by a military junta that took power in 1976. Democracy returned in 1983, and numerous elections since then have underscored Argentina's progress in democratic consolidation.
