UNITED PROVINCES OF THE RIVER PLATE

United Provinces of the Río de la Plata in 1816.

The 'United Provinces of the Río de la Plata', (Spanish: ''Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata'') also called the 'United Provinces of South America' (Spanish: ''Provincias Unidas de Sud América'') was the name of the union formed by most of the territories of the former Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata after they became independent from Spain. In 1828, the Provincia Oriental separated from the Confederation by signing the Treaty of Montevideo to become independent Uruguay after the Argentina-Brazil War. Argentina recognizes this to be its official name from 1816 to 1853, when ''República Argentina'' and ''Confederación Argentina'' also became official.
