Buenos Aires Travel Guide

Buenos Aires Local History

Europeans first arrived in the 16th century but were discouraged by the local Indians to settle. Spanish forces established Buenos Aires around 1580 and secured large areas of the best land for agriculture and cattle. Thereafter, for almost 2 decades, the people of Buenos Aires followed a highly contraband trade with Brasil (Portuguese) and European powers.

British troops came and went in the early 19th century and the people of Buenos Aires celebrated this by the revolution of May 25th 1810. The Spanish were expelled by the 1820's and formal independence was declared in 1816. By 1880, Argentina became a major producer of cereal crops for export, and by 1890, the economy was dominated by British capital which went towards building infrastructure such as roads and railways. In the 20th century Eva and Juan Peron ruled Argentina up to 1955 when Juan was expelled to Spain. Evita died in 1952.
