Argentine Civil Wars

The Argentine Civil Wars were a series of conflicts in the 19th century, primarily between two political factions: the Unitarians, who sought a strong central government, and the Federalists, who supported regional autonomy. These wars emerged after Argentina gained independence from Spain in 1816 and continued until the late 1800s. The conflicts were marked by violence, shifting alliances, and battles for power among local leaders. Eventually, Argentina transitioned to a centralized government, but the civil wars significantly shaped its political landscape and regional identities, laying the groundwork for its future governance and societal structures.
