Military Dictatorship
It seems there might be a misunderstanding regarding the timeline and events. Argentina did not lose national territory to Great Britain in 1983; rather, the significant conflict over the Falkland Islands occurred in 1982. Following the defeat in the Falklands War, the military junta that had ruled Argentina faced increased opposition, leading to a return to democratic governance later that year. The loss significantly undermined the military's credibility and contributed to the eventual transition to civilian rule in Argentina.

Hammurabi first ruled the city of Babylon. He became king around 1792 BCE and is best known for his code of laws, which is one of the earliest and most complete written legal codes in history.

Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay were colonized by the Spanish. Uruguay was also colonized by the Portuguese (which then followed Brazilian rule), and this is who the country gained independence from.
During the US Civil War, a war in South America began. It pitted three nations known as the Triple Alliance against Paraguay. The war began in 1864 and ended in 1870. The Triple Alliance nations were Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Based on the alliance the war is called the War of the Triple Alliance or the Paraguayan War. In time, the three allied nations defeated Paraguay in 1870.The causes of the war are not exact. Some historians believe it was the result of post Spanish rule in South America, others cite border disagreements.

Ten countries in Latin America that gained their independence from Spain include Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Most of these nations achieved independence during the early 19th century, primarily between 1808 and 1826, through a series of revolutionary movements and wars. The struggle for independence was fueled by a desire for self-governance and resistance against colonial rule.

Paraguay experienced a high turnover of presidents due to political instability, frequent coups, and civil conflicts throughout its history. The legacy of authoritarian rule, coupled with internal power struggles and external pressures, contributed to a rapid succession of leaders. Additionally, the country's tumultuous relationship with neighboring nations often exacerbated domestic tensions, leading to further changes in leadership. This cycle of instability has resulted in Paraguay having numerous presidents over the years.

The Falkland Islands remain under British rule.
Uruguay's only landed border is with Brazil. Argentina's across the Uruguay River. The Spanish arrived in Uruguay in 1536. But the country had no gold or mineral wealth. So the Spanish didn't make settlement an immediate priority. Their main concern was to build forts against the Portuguese, and to start up some agricultural and livestock raising activities. That's what gave them the advantage, ultimately, over the Portuguese. For they ended up with cultural, economy, military and political interests to defend. In contrast, the Portuguese had a limited military and trading presence in Uruguay. And they had their hands full across the pond in Portugal, and with Brazil as Latin America's biggest country.
