Argentine Confederation

The Argentine Confederation (Spanish: Confederación Argentina) is one of the official names of Argentina, according to the Argentine Constitution, Article 35. It was the name of the country from 1831 to 1852, when the provinces organized themselves as a confederation, without a head of state. The governor of Buenos Aires Province (Juan Manuel de Rosas during most of the period) managed the foreign relations during the time. Under his rule, the Argentine Confederation resisted wars from Brasil, Bolivia, Uruguay, France and Britain, as well as attacks of other Argentine factions during the Argentine Civil Wars.
