A guide traces the history of Argentina, from prehistory to Milei's presidency

The Rio Times published a chronological overview of Argentine history that begins in prehistory and extends to the presidency of Javier Milei, with dates verified against official sources and UNESCO data. The final section focuses on the present: the 48-month, $20 billion agreement that the IMF approved in April 2025 and the stabilization line that the U.S. Treasury signed with the Central Bank in October of that year, from which the country drew $2.5 billion and repaid in December.

The article notes that in the legislative elections of October 26, 2025, La Libertad Avanza won approximately 40.6% of the votes for congressional seats and secured 64 of the 127 seats up for grabs. It also mentions the six-year prison sentence and permanent disqualification from public office handed down to Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in the “Vialidad” case, as well as Polymarket’s poll numbers for the 2027 presidential election, in which Milei is projected to receive 55% of the vote.
