Argentina (n.) 阿根廷共和國（西班牙語：República Argentina），通稱阿根廷，是由23個省和布宜諾斯艾利斯自治市組成的聯邦共和國，位於南美洲南部，占有南錐體的大部分，北鄰玻利維亞與巴拉圭，東北與巴西接壤，東臨烏拉圭與南大西洋，西接智利，南瀕德雷克海峽。領土面積達2,780,400平方公里，位居世界第八，拉丁美洲第二，西班牙語諸國之首，橫跨多個氣候帶。阿根廷主張對南極洲的一部分、福克蘭群島（阿根廷稱馬爾維納斯群島）、南喬治亞島和南桑威奇群島擁有主權。
與大多數拉美國家相當不同，永久住民數超過4,100萬的阿根廷，其種族組成和智利相似，歐洲裔占人口比例超過90%，非洲裔較少，使文化上國家呈現深度歐化，例如首都文化幾乎是歐洲城市文化的延伸。[12] 而社會素質、教育文化、市場經濟與法規上的發達，使阿根廷今日在民主和人權上有很大發展，也是南美唯一掌握人造衛星操作技術的國家。長久以來，阿根廷是一個中等強國 [13] [14] 和拉丁美洲的地域大國，[15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] 它也是聯合國、世行集團、世貿組織、南共市、南美洲國家聯盟、拉共體和伊比利亞美洲國家組織的創始國。作為一個傳統農業大國和新興市場國家，[21] 阿根廷是20國集團成員和拉美第三大經濟體。以購買力平價來計的人均國內生產總值處於中高水平，與智利和烏拉圭同屬拉美第一集團，與東南歐相同，人類發展指數處於極高級。[10] 收入不平等程度雖高，但低於拉美國家平均水平。
這一地區已知最早的人類活動發生在舊石器時代。[22] 西班牙殖民始於1512年。[23] 在1810年至1825年的獨立戰爭中，阿根廷以拉布拉他聯合省的國名於1816年發表《獨立宣言》，繼承了原西班牙拉布拉他總督轄區的大部分地區，在之後與西班牙和葡萄牙的戰爭中，聯合省政府繼而失去烏拉圭、玻利維亞和秘魯等地區。其後多年的內戰最終在1861年，布宜諾斯艾利斯邦擊敗了邦聯政府，與當時其它八個省重新統一為阿根廷共和國。[24] 至此，大規模的歐洲移民潮架起了阿根廷與歐洲之橋，無與倫比的發展使阿根廷於20世紀早期躋身世界第七富國。然而在1930年代軍事政變以後，政局不穩和周期性經濟危機使其陷入衰退。[25]
Officially the Argentine Republic [A] (Spanish: República Argentina), is a federal republic in the southern portion of South America. Sharing the bulk of the Southern Cone with its neighbor Chile to the west, the country is also bordered by Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil to the northeast, Uruguay and the South Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Drake Passage to the south. With a mainland area of 2,780,400 km2 (1,073,500 sq mi), [B] Argentina is the eighth-largest country in the world, the second largest in Latin America, and the largest Spanish-speaking nation. It is subdivided into twenty-three provinces (Spanish: provincias, singular provincia) and one autonomous city (ciudad autónoma), Buenos Aires, which is the federal capital of the nation (Spanish: Capital Federal) as decided by Congress. [11] The provinces and the capital have their own constitutions, but exist under a federal system. Argentina claims sovereignty over part of Antarctica, the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas), and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
The earliest recorded human presence in the area of modern-day Argentina dates back to the Paleolithic period. [12] The country has its roots in Spanish colonization of the region during the 16th century. [13] Argentina rose as the successor state of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, [14] a Spanish overseas viceroyalty founded in 1776. The declaration and fight for independence (1810–1818) was followed by an extended civil war that lasted until 1861, culminating in the country's reorganization as a federation of provinces with Buenos Aires as its capital city. The country thereafter enjoyed relative peace and stability, with massive waves of European immigration radically reshaping its cultural and demographic outlook. The almost-unparalleled increase in prosperity led to Argentina becoming the seventh wealthiest developed nation in the world by the early 20th century. [15] [16]
After 1930, Argentina descended into political instability and periodic economic crises that pushed it back into underdevelopment, [17] though it nevertheless remained among the fifteen richest countries until the mid-20th century. [15] Argentina retains its historic status as a middle power [18] in international affairs, and is a prominent regional power in the Southern Cone and Latin America. [19] [20] Argentina has the second largest economy in South America, the third-largest in Latin America and is a member of the G-15 and G-20 major economies. It is also a founding member of the United Nations, World Bank, World Trade Organization, Mercosur, Union of South American Nations, Community of Latin American and Caribbean States and the Organization of Ibero-American States. It is the country with the second highest Human Development Index in Latin America with a rating of "very high". [21] Because of its stability, market size and growing high-tech sector, [22] Argentina is classified as an upper-middle-income economy in the 2018 fiscal year. [23]
