Argentina was a part of the Spanish empire until independence in 1816.
Argentina was experiencing periods of internal political conflict between the conservatives and liberals and between the civilians
and the military. A modern agriculture and a diverse industry were then gradually developed thanks to the natural resources
and foreign investments.
Europeans are thought to have arrived in the region in 1502 in the voyage of Amerigo Vespucci. The southern inhabitants
at that time hunted and fished, while the northwestern Incas were agricultural/technologically advanced, having built a highway
before the arrival of the Spanish.
