In OTL, the precursor to Argentina, the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata, fell into petty infighting and civil war after it's independence. later, it was reformed into the Argentine Confederation, and later the Argentine Republic.
Later, Argentina would become one of the most developed, industrialized nations in the world. It enjoyed the second highest immigration rates in the world, surpassed by only the obvious: The United States. but would soon fall to corruption, instability and brutal dictatorships.
Is it plausible for the United Provinces/ larger Argentina to survive, and become a respectable regional power in South America? Perhaps, even a being a great power? If so, what is a plausible POD date?
