[edit] Argentina in A Different Flesh
Argentina was one of two successful colonies Spain maintained in the New World.
[edit] Argentina in The Disunited States of America
Argentina was one of the world's great powers.
[edit] Argentina in In the Presence of Mine Enemies
Argentina was one of the independent nations that was allied with the Greater German Reich. Its head of state was the Perón, (the name of Juan Perón having been made into the title of the head of state).
[edit] Argentina in The Man With the Iron Heart
Argentina, with its fascist-leaning government and strict policy of non-extradition, would have offered a tempting safe haven to fugitive Nazis, like Spain and Portugal if the distance from Germany and the near-impossibility of direct travel between Europe and South America in the 1940s had not precluded German Freedom Front renegades from continuing to work for the "liberation" of Germany.
[edit] Argentina in Southern Victory
Argentina was a trading partner and military ally of Britain when the Great War began. A member of the Entente, it supplied Britain with beef and grain imports which were necessary for that country to remain in the war. It was invaded by a modest ground force of Chilean and Paraguayan troops.
In 1917 Argentina was forced to surrender when Brazil joined the Central Powers and a joint American, Brazilian, and Chilean navy cut the shipping lines between Argentina and Britain. The move also forced Britain's surrender.
In the Second Great War, Argentina once again allied itself with the Entente. In 1941 a joint British and Confederate naval expedition took Bermuda out of US hands to prevent a repeat of the above Great War manuever. Nevertheless, Argentina was much more wary of the U.S. Navy in that war, and let the USS Remembrance pass within range of its shore defenses unchallenged when the aircraft carrier was en route to the Sandwich Islands in 1941.
[edit] Argentina in Worldwar
Argentina was quickly conquered by the Race's Conquest Fleet in 1942 along with the rest of South America. The Race imprisoned Ruhollah Khomeini in Argentina, thinking it was out of range of Muslim rebels.
Usually docile as a colony, Argentina vehemently rejected the cult of emperor-worship when Atvar attempted to introduce it in 1964, and revolted against Race rule later that year.
[edit] Argentina in "Next Year in Jerusalem"
Argentina became a refuge for Jews fleeing the fall of the State of Israel. Yakov had been born and raised in Buenos Aires. When he entered Palestine as part of a mission with the Second Irgun, he was quickly struck by how conversative Palestine was compared with his country of birth.
