Did you know that as of 2018, Argentina has a literacy level of 99 percent? Are you curious to find out how it achieved this?

Argentina has a long and complex history. For hundreds of years, Argentina was inhabited by hunter-gatherer groups. In time, the Inca Empire rose to prominence and took over the Argentinian communities one by one. The Spanish arrived about 20 years later, bringing a new wave of invasion to the native inhabitants. The people of Argentina wouldn’t declare their independence until 1816, and after that, they faced civil war after civil war.

Although it might seem like Argentina’s history is only compromised of conquest and warfare, it is also filled with fascinating civilizations and influential figures, such as José de San Martín and the less-revered Juan Manuel de Rosas.

While almost everyone knows that Argentina is located in South America, not everyone knows that Argentina’s successful May Revolution inspired other countries in Latin America to rebel. Many may have heard of Juan Perón and his wife, Eva, but not everyone knows about Perón’s third wife, Isabel, and her time as the president of Argentina. This audiobook will take you on a brief journey of Argentina’s past, both its highs and its lows, as you discover a fuller picture of the beautiful nation of Argentina.

In this audiobook, you will learn about:

The people groups who lived in the country before European colonization.

The Spanish conquistadors who made their mark on the country.

The May Revolution and Argentina’s struggle for independence.

The immigrants who made Argentina their home and pushed its economy and society to new heights.
