You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((History of Argentina))
((Spanish colonization of the Americas))
'''Colonial Argentina''' is designated as the period of the [[History of Argentina]] when it was an overseas territory of the [[Spanish Empire]]. It begins in the Precolumbian age of the [[indigenous peoples of Argentina]], with the arrival of the first Spanish conqueror.

==European exploration==
[[File:Descubrimiento del Río de la Plata.jpg|thumb|left|Discovery of the [[Río de la Plata]] by [[Juan Díaz de Solís]]. He would be attacked and killed by [[Charrúa people|charrúas]] after it.]]
When Spain and Portugal realized that the Americas were not the Indies but a new and unknown continent, they settled the portions with the [[Treaty of Tordesillas]], dividing an eastern section of South America for Portugal and the rest for Spain. However, most of the geography of the Americas was still unknown, and many navigators sought a passage to the [[East Indies]] rather than exploring the Americas.

The voyage of [[Ferdinand Magellan]] continued towards the south, passed the [[Strait of Magellan]] and eventually completed the first circumnavigation of the world.

The first navigators of the Americas through unexplored territories, navigated into the wide [[Río de la Plata]] expecting to find a passage to the west and reach Asia, new navigations were fostered by the rumors of silver sources (such rumors are one of the early reasons of the [[name of Argentina]]).

There were land expeditions coming from the north as well, from Lima. However, the lack of precious metals in the area, and the absence of local empires like the Aztecs in Mexico or the Incas in Peru, did not allow a notable growth of the Spanish populations in the area.

===Juan Díaz de Solís===
The first European to disembark in what is now Argentina was [[Juan Díaz de Solís]], who discovered the [[Río de la Plata]]. Solís was killed by [[Charrúa people|Charrúas]], along with other sailors, and his fleet returned to Spain.

The sailor Francisco del Puerto, part of Solís' voyage, was spared by the Charruas because of his young age, and stayed on the Americas for some years.

===Sebastian Cabot===
Francisco del Puerto was rescued by the Venetian [[Sebastian Cabot (explorer)|Sebastian Cabot]], and told him about myths of sources of [[silver]] in the area. This promoted further explorations in the area. There was no silver, nor any other precious metal, but those initial myths influenced the modern [[name of Argentina]].

The voyage of Cabot, expecting to conquer the lands of the inexistent "White King", established the fortification of [[Sancti Spiritu (Argentina)|Sancti Spiritu]], next to the [[Paraná River]]. The voyage was a complete failure: they did not get any metals, Sancti Spiritu was destroyed by the native people, and the remaining Europeans returned to Europe.

=== The exploration of Argentina ===
The exploration of Argentina in 1534 begins from two separate directions. Francisco de Aguirre heads into the area from the west over the [[Andes]] and Pedro González de Mendoza comes in from the [[Río de la Plata|Rio de la Plata region]]. Juan de Ayolas, Domingo, Martínez de Irala, Jerónimo Ochoa de Eizaguirre, Andrés de Arzamendia, Juan de Estigarribia, Galaz de Medrano and Fernando de Gasteiz accompany Mendoza.<ref>https://nabasque.eus/images/astero/2007/Basque%20Chronology.pdf</ref>

==Colonization==
The Argentine area was within the Spanish colonial entities of:
* [[Governorate of New Andalusia]] (1524−1542)
* [[Governorate of the Río de la Plata]] (1549–1776), under the supervision of the [[Real Audiencia of Lima]] in the [[Viceroyalty of Peru]] (1541−1661), then the first [[Royal Audiencia of Buenos Aires]] (1661−1671).
* ((C|Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata)) (1776–1814), under the governing supervision of the second [[Royal Audiencia of Buenos Aires]] (1783−1810) in the south, and [[Real Audiencia of Charcas]] in the north, until the [[Independence of Argentina]].

The new ideas of the [[Age of Enlightenment]] and the events of the [[Peninsular War]] started the [[Argentine Wars of Independence]], a theater of the greater [[Spanish American wars of independence]].
