Simple to understand, hard to believe

The decline of Argentina, which was once the richest country in Latin America and one of the ten richest in the world, has long been explained with the most diverse and complex economic theories, ranging from the social background and ethnic composition of the colonizing pioneers, to by the land structure and supply chain of Argentina's agricultural base and its stable aristocratic agricultural society.

It's very simple: the name of the problem of decay was the Panama Canal. Before, the link between the east coast and the west coast of the USA passed through Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Chile, all of which were shipwrecked by Chile, Uruguay and Argentina, the rest is half true. Then the American economy moved from ships along the Argentine coast where it left billions of dollars in supplies and fuel in the ports where it was refueled for the journey from coast to coast, making a traffic passing through the Argentine economy which was the main support post and where exchanges and fractional loads were unloaded and new shipments were made, making Argentina part of the international flow of novelties and commercial and industrial modernities, with warehouses for repairs and storage of parts and the presence of ship maintenance technicians right in the flow of what would be a huge cargo hub in the southern cone of the isolated continent of Europe, thus connected to Europe through the coast-to-coast flow.

With the inauguration of the Panama Canal, Argentina was abruptly disconnected from the flow of trade, industry, culture, fashion, finance and economics definitely from the northern hemisphere, Asia and Africa, and it was definitely.
