Argentina has a special leader called the President. This person is both the Head of State and the Head of Government. This means they represent the country and also lead the government's daily work. Argentina has had many different types of leaders throughout its history.

Long ago, before Europeans arrived, many parts of Argentina were home to native groups. Most of these groups did not have one single leader for everyone. The Inca people in the Northwest and Cuyo regions were an exception, as they were part of a larger empire.

Later, when Spain took control, the King of Spain was the ultimate ruler. He appointed special governors called viceroys to manage the land. The area that is now Argentina was first part of the Viceroyalty of Peru, then the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata.

The May Revolution in 1810 was a big step towards independence. It replaced the Spanish viceroy with the first national government, called the Primera Junta. This was a group of several members. Over time, these groups changed to smaller ones, like the First and Second Triumvirate, which had three members.

A new type of leader, the Supreme Director, was created in 1813. Argentina officially declared independence in 1816. However, there were many conflicts between different parts of the country. This led to a time when Argentina didn't have a single head of state.

Argentina's First Presidents

In 1826, there was a new effort to create a central government. A new group of lawmakers wrote a constitution and chose Bernardino Rivadavia as the first President of Argentina. But he resigned soon after, and the constitution was cancelled.

The provinces then decided to work together as a confederation. They didn't have one central leader. Instead, the governors of Buenos Aires province handled important tasks like foreign relations for all the provinces.

Juan Manuel de Rosas was a powerful governor of Buenos Aires for many years. He was defeated in 1852 by Justo José de Urquiza. Urquiza then helped create the Argentine Constitution of 1853, which is still used today with some changes. In 1854, Urquiza became the first President under this new constitution.

However, Buenos Aires province didn't agree with the new constitution at first. It became a separate state for a while. After more conflicts, Bartolomé Mitre became the first president of a truly unified Argentina in 1861.

Presidents and Changes in Power

From 1861, Argentina had a line of constitutional presidents for many years. But in 1930, things changed when José Félix Uriburu took power through a military takeover.

For many decades, Argentina saw a mix of elected presidents and leaders who took power without following the constitution. These unconstitutional takeovers were often done by the military. The last military takeover happened in 1976.

Since 1983, Argentina has had a continuous line of elected presidents. The current President is Javier Milei, who started his term on December 10, 2023.
