Argentina

Argentina, officially the Argentine, is a South American country, second in size in the continent to Brazil and eighth in the world.

From 1880 to 1945, as an independent country, Argentina enjoyed increasing prosperity, prominence and became one of the top 10 richest countries in the world, through an export-led economy. The population of the country swelled sevenfold. However, after 1970s, a serious political chaos, military failure and economic mistakes brought down Argentina to its knee at the beginning of the new Century.
