The Battle of Cepeda

The Battle of Cepeda, fought in 1820 in present-day Argentina, was a key conflict between federalist forces, who favored regional autonomy, and unitarians, who wanted a strong central government. The battle resulted from political tensions following Argentina's independence, leading to local armies mobilizing for control. Federalist forces won, helping decentralize power and prompting constitutional agreements. This victory strengthened regional autonomy, shaping the nation's political landscape and moving Argentina toward greater regional self-governance and stability.
