Beginning with a survey of the environment in which the conquistadors began the arduous task of conquest, this work brings the story of Argentine development down through the significant revolution of 1930 and the Great Depression. The relations of Argentina with other nations are stressed, and the social, economic, and literary aspects, as well as administrative details, of the country's history are carefully considered.Originally published in 1937.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
