Historical background
In 1816, the United Provinces of the Rio Plata declared their independence from Spain.
After Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay went their separate ways, the area that remained became Argentina.

Economic overview
Argentina benefits from rich natural resources, a highly literate population, an export-oriented agricultural sector, and a diversified industrial base.
Although one of the world's wealthiest countries 100 years ago, Argentina suffered during most of the 20th century from recurring economic crises, persistent fiscal and current account deficits, high inflation, mounting external debt, and capital flight.
