Topics: Argentina-related lists Presidents of Argentina
After its independence in 1816, Argentina was a federation without an effective central government. In those years, it was first known as Provincias Unidas del Rio de la Plata (United Provinces of the Plate river) and later as Provincias Unidas de Sud America (United Provinces of South America).
After the dissolution of the Presidential Government, Argentina was without an effective central government for another 28 years. By that time, the country began to be commonly known as Confederacion Argentina (Argentine Confederation). The role most near to that of a president was the role of the Governor of the Province of Buenos Aires, who, apart of being governor of his province, was designated by the other provinces as 'Chairman of Foreign Relations' with foreign states.
