Argentina , officially the Argentine Republic , is a country in the southern half of
South America . Argentina covers an area of 2,780,400 km2 (1,073,500 sq mi), making it the
second-largest country in South America after
Brazil , the fourth-largest country in the
Americas , and the
eighth-largest country in the world. It shares the bulk of the
Southern Cone with
Chile to the west, and is also bordered by
Bolivia and
Paraguay to the north, Brazil to the northeast,
Uruguay and the South
Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the
Drake Passage to the south. Argentina is a
federal state subdivided into twenty-three
provinces , and one
autonomous city , which is the
federal capital and
largest city of the nation,
Buenos Aires . The provinces and the capital have their own constitutions, but exist under a
federal system . Argentina claims sovereignty over the
Falkland Islands ,
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands , the
Southern Patagonian Ice Field , and
a part of Antarctica .
The earliest recorded human presence in modern-day Argentina dates back to the
Paleolithic period. The
Inca Empire expanded to the northwest of the country in Pre-Columbian times. The country has its roots in
Spanish colonization of the region during the 16th century. Argentina rose as the successor state of the
Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata , a Spanish
overseas viceroyalty founded in 1776. The
declaration and
fight for independence (1810–1818) was followed by an
extended civil war that lasted until 1861, culminating in the country's reorganization as a
federation . The country thereafter enjoyed relative peace and stability, with
several waves of European immigration , mainly
Italians and
Spaniards , influencing its
culture and
demography .
Argentina is a
regional power , and retains its historic status as a
middle power in international affairs. A
major non-NATO ally of the United States, Argentina is a
developing country with the second-highest
HDI (human development index) in
Latin America after
Chile . It maintains the
second-largest economy in South America, and is a member of
G-15 and
G20 . Argentina is also a founding member of the
United Nations ,
World Bank ,
World Trade Organization ,
Mercosur ,
Community of Latin American and Caribbean States and the
Organization of Ibero-American States . (

ARA Moreno was a
dreadnought
battleship designed by the American
Fore River Shipbuilding Company for the
Argentine Navy (
Armada de la República Argentina ). Named after
Mariano Moreno , a key member of the first independent government of Argentina, the
First Assembly (
Primera Junta ),
Moreno was the second dreadnought of the
Rivadavia class, and the fourth built during the
South American dreadnought race .
Argentina placed orders for Moreno and her only
sister ship ,
Rivadavia , in reply to a Brazilian naval building program. After Moreno was completed in March 1915, a series of engine problems occurred during her
sea trials which delayed her delivery to Argentina to May 1915. During the 1930s the ship was occupied with diplomatic cruises to Brazil, Uruguay, and Europe until the
Second World War broke out. During this time, Moreno was employed little as Argentina was neutral.
Decommissioned in 1949, Moreno was
scrapped in Japan beginning in 1957. (
