Junta de Buenos Aires

The Junta de Buenos Aires was a governing council formed in 1810 in Argentina during the early stages of the country's struggle for independence from Spanish rule. This assembly aimed to create a local government that could better address the needs of the people and assert autonomy. It marked the beginning of significant political changes, promoting ideas of self-governance and democracy in the region. The Junta played a crucial role in the broader context of Latin American independence movements, as it inspired similar efforts across the continent to resist colonial power and establish sovereign nations.
