A brief history of Argentina: The earliest recorded human presence in the area now known as Argentina is dated from the Paleolithic period. The Spanish colonization began in 1512. Argentina rose as the successor state of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, a Spanish overseas colony founded in 1776. The declaration and fight for independence (1810–1818) was followed by an extended civil war that lasted until 1861, which ended with the country's reorganization as a federation of provinces with Buenos Aires as its capital city. From this point on massive European immigration radically reshaped its cultural and demographic outlook. Argentina enjoyed an historically almost unparalleled increase in prosperity, by the early 20th century it already ranked as the seventh wealthiest developed nation in the world. After 1930 however it descended into political instability and suffered periodic economic crisis that sank it back into underdevelopment.
