[edit] Expansion request

This article is painfully short for such an important topic; I think it could also be renamed (Independence of Argentina would cover more ground). The article does not mention San Martín's 1812 battle in San Lorenzo, Santa Fe. It should briefly explain the events of the May Revolution and all the major battles, as well as the political climate both in Argentina and in Spain. See es:Historia de Argentina#Crecimiento de la nación estado and google for it. --Pablo D. Flores 14:15, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

I have been expanding this article in the last few days. All the points above have been attended. Any suggestion is wellcome please. --furgonero 04:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Loyalist landing at San Lorenzo

What reliable sources support the idea that the loyalist disembarkment at San Lorenzo monastery was "an attempt to reconquer Buenos Aires"?. That action was only one in a series of plunder raids from Montevideo, intended to weakening Buenos Aires influence over Paraná river. Can anybody deal with this issue?.

That's a good point. But anyway, any landing of troops was suppossed to reconquer Buenos Aires and stop the revolution. Even though I 'll try to come up with a source. --furgonero 03:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
