See? Reading comprehension is missing.Your arguments thus far have been nothing but unconvicing "they couldn't OTL, so they can't ITTL" statements, and a dismissal of every change that has happened in the TL in favor of "somehow, despite a completely different history, Argentina will still end a politically instable and poor country". I'm heartily tired of such takes. They are harmful and don't allow for discussion if every argument is dismissed with a simple "didn't happen OTL so it doesn't matter". What are you doing in an alternate history forum if you believe that, in spite of butterflies, the world id gonna end up the same? Historical determinism is boring.
WHEN DID I SAY THEY WOULD BE A SHITHOLE LIKE OTL? Go on, fucking quote me I dare you.
I said it won't be the fucking third economy of the planet, is Canada a shithole? Is Germany? No? Because with you """"""""logic"""""""" they should, seeing as they aren't the third world's biggest economy.
Saying that the UP won't be a Great Power juuuuust after China and the US by the early twenty first century in no way means it'll be a shithole like OTL Argentina. Is it that hard to understand or do you guys need a graphic and a power point presentation? It's not historical fucking determinism, it's following the narrative of the TL which firmly has the UP as a second tier local power with a second tier (relatively) small economy which is tied to a sinking boat (because the European empires are going to go down one way or another) so by the early 21st century and assuming the fuckfest that happened to Argentina in OTL doesn't happen here the UP will be a firmly set secondary power with s nice, working, economy more or less like any country in Western Europe OTL. In what way is this like OTL's Argentina go on, fucking explain it.
