Argentina’s path to independence began with the May Revolution of 1810, when leaders in Buenos Aires established a local government in place of Spanish colonial rule. After several years of conflict, representatives meeting at the Congress of Tucumán formally declared independence from Spain on July 9, 1816, a date now celebrated as Argentina’s Independence Day.
