El origen de Argentina, entre la historia y la fábula | Con Emilio Ocampo

The May Revolution gave birth to the embryo of the Argentine nation in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata. But the territory we inhabit today, 211 years ago, was nothing more than "a pawn on a global chessboard," in the words of Emilio Ocampo. The Argentineans closely observed an international panorama dominated by Napoleon's France and George III's British Empire. The historian, economist, and member of the Freedom and Progress Foundation explores the events that led to the revolutionary events of 1810. How did we arrive at the Open Town Hall of May 22nd? What was the international context of the time? What political and social ideas motivated the protagonists of the First Junta? In addition, Emilio highlights certain fables that have spread throughout history and analyzes the most radical positions, embodied by Mariano Moreno, an idealistic lawyer, and the most conservative ones, represented by Cornelio Saavedra, president of the First Junta and military commander of the Regiment of the Patricians. • "San Martín had a monarchical project."
