Argentina's Path to Independence and Economic Growth
Argentina's journey towards independence began in 1810, followed by official independence in 1816. However, internal conflicts arose between federalists and unitarians, similar to the United States. After decades, the federalists emerged victorious and established the country's first constitution in 1853, which recognized private property rights and equal rights for foreigners. This attracted millions of people and significant investment from England, transforming Argentina's economy into one of the world's top GDP per capita economies by 1910.
