Primera Junta Nacional de Gobierno

The Primera Junta Nacional de Gobierno was an early governing body established in Argentina on May 25, 1810, marking the beginning of its independence movement from Spain. It was formed by local leaders who replaced colonial authorities with a collective executive to assume political power and manage the country's affairs. This act laid the foundation for the country's push toward independence and self-governance. The Junta was a pivotal step in Argentina’s transition from Spanish colonial rule toward establishing a republic, reflecting the momentum for autonomy and national unity during that period.
