Stats...
Overview:
Following independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina experienced periods of
internal political conflict between conservatives and liberals and between
civilian and military factions. After World War II, a long period of Peronist
authoritarian rule and interference in subsequent governments was followed
by a military junta that took power in 1976. Democracy returned in 1983, and
numerous elections since then have underscored Argentina's progress in
democratic consolidation.
