Note: There was no universally accepted national government from 16 Feb 1820 until roughly 1852. Therefore, the governments of each province during that period are listed separately. Most of the time there was civil war, and the "national" authorities were acknowledged by 
only a partial (and varying) set of provinces.  There was also a gap in national government between 1861 and 1862, for which the governments of the provinces are also listed. The 
Province of Buenos Aires was actually in secession 1852-1862.

 Territorial Disputes: Argentina continues to assert its claims to the U.K.-administered Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands in its constitution, forcibly occupying the Falklands in 1982, but in 1995 agreed no longer to seek settlement by force, U.K. continues to reject Argentine requests for sovereignty talks; territorial claim in Antarctica (Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur) since 1943, partially overlaps U.K. and Chilean claims and is not recognized by the United Nations, U.S., Russia or most other countries; uncontested dispute between Brazil and Uruguay over Braziliera/Brasiliera Island in the Quarai/Cuareim River leaves the tripoint with Argentina in question; in 2010, the ICJ ruled in favor of Uruguay's operation of two paper mills on the Uruguay River, which forms the border with Argentina, the two countries formed a joint pollution monitoring regime; the joint boundary commission, established by Chile and Argentina in 2001 has yet to map and demarcate the delimited boundary in the inhospitable Andean Southern Ice Field (Campo de Hielo Sur); contraband smuggling, human trafficking, and illegal narcotic trafficking are problems in the porous areas of the border with Bolivia.
