A little context changes the day.
Buenos Aires began as a Spanish colonial settlement on the Río de la Plata and grew into the commercial and political centre of Argentina. Its port drove immigration and export wealth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, bringing millions of newcomers and reshaping neighbourhoods, language and culture. Tango, grand avenues and docklands all emerged from that period of extraordinary urban expansion.
More
A first Spanish settlement in the 16th century failed, while the permanent city founded in 1580 gradually gained importance through Atlantic trade. Buenos Aires became capital of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata in 1776 and played a central role in the independence movement that followed. In the late 1800s, beef and grain exports financed rapid growth and European immigration on a massive scale. The old port areas of La Boca and later Puerto Madero reflect successive stages of maritime development. Political conflict, military rule and the return of democracy also shaped the modern capital, whose cafes, theatres and public spaces carry both elite and working-class histories.
