====== Argentina ======

 A country in South America, next to [[Brazil]] and [[Chile]]. Also known as the "[[alternate history:alternate history cliches|place where the Nazis go once they lose the war]]" and "that country of the Che", while it's inhabitants are refered in the Anglosphere as "those guys who invaded the [[the Falklands]]."

Alledgedly the best place to live, if you are escaping the American or European authorities, and a great place to take vacations according to Butch Cassidy, at least better than Bolivia.

Famous people include General San Martin, who liberated three countries in the 1810s(Argentina, Chile and Peru); General and President Peron, who is always president when Argentina is mentioned in AH; and the crazy communist revolutionary Ernesto Guevara, the guy who can now be seen in Coca-Cola advertisement.

Britain historically has a love-hate relationship with the Argentines: On the one hand there's the [[offtopic:the Falklands]] thing, on the other there's all the trade, the railways, the Welsh colony in Patagonia (we're very grateful the Argies took //them// off our hands) and those cool gaucho cowboys.

==== Alternate history clichés involving this country ====

- [[alternate history:president cliche|General Juan Domingo Peron is always President of Argentina]]. **No**, he doesn't //always// need to be. Think of [[alternate history:butterfly effect|the butterflies]], people!

- Britain can [[alternate history:wank|just waltz in at any point before 1810]] and a hundred years later, Argentina will be as powerful, prosperous and pretty (not to mention properly Aryan) as Canada, Australia or New Zealand.

- [[alternate history:Alternate Israels|Empty Patagonia open for Jews]]: Because extremely Catholic and Nationalistic countries in the 1940s just love opening their arms for Bohemian, European Jewish refugees and giving them free land.

- Random AXIS Argentina: Argentina joins the Axis completely out of the blue, despite only a minority within the public or the armed forces being pro-German, the majority being influenced by the British and Americans and being very openly anti-Nazi.

- Nazi haven: Partially true, but Paraguay and Brazil were also popular. Argentina in fact took mostly Italian and Croatian Fascists and most immigrants during the 1940s were Jews.
