La Plata (region)

This region is distinguished by a number of authors as a subregion within the countries of Latin America (along with the Andean countries, Amazonia , Central America). Traditionally, parts of La Plata are considered Uruguay , Paraguay and part of the territory of Argentina . ^[1] .

According to one of the views on the division of Latin America into subregions, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, together with Chile, part of Brazil and Bolivia, are included in the Southern Cone , of which La Plata is a part ^[2] .

The La Plata region partially overlaps with the geographical area of Pampas , but the territory of Paraguay is not included in the pampa.

In 1549, the governorate of Rio de la Plata (by renaming the governorate of Nueva Andalucia ) was created on part of the territory of the Laplat Lowland . The governorship in different years included, in addition to northern Argentina, the territories of Paraguay and Uruguay. In 1776, in the territory of modern Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata was created . After the May Revolution , an independent state, the United Provinces of Rio de La Plata, was created in the region. Only in 1816, at the Tucuman Congress, the state received a new name - the United Provinces of South America . After the secession of Bolivia in 1825, and in 1828 Uruguay, the region again began to be located on the territory of several states. After a series of conflicts ( Laplatian , Paraguayan wars and others), the borders of countries in the region have acquired modern outlines ^[3] .
