Between Vienna and Tucumán. The paradoxes of Argentine emancipation 1814-1820

Main Article Content

Abstract

This article focuses on the paradoxes of the Argentine independence process. When Argentina declared itsseparation from the Spanish Empire in 1816, it declared a republican system of government in spite of the fact that it was at the same time considering establishing a monarchy. This was strikingly made evident during the Tucumán Congress, where independence was formally declared, when Manuel Belgrano suggested creating a monarchy under the reign of an Inca descendant. Up to what extent these monarchical schemes were a consequence of the Post-Napoleonic European context, and the troubled internal political situation, is one of the main questions this work attempts to explain.
