from: "City arrived at by reading atlas backwards? (5)" By Jabe

Background: Following independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina experienced periods of internal political conflict between conservatives and liberals and between civilian and military factions.

Democracy returned in 1983, and numerous elections since then have underscored Argentina's progress in democratic consolidation.
