Argentina–Spain relations refers to the bilateral relationship between the Argentine Republic and the Kingdom of Spain. ==History of diplomatic relations== In 1516, the first Spanish expedition to visit what is now Argentina was led by the explorer Juan Díaz de Solís. In 1536, the first Spanish settlement was created in the Río de la Plata basin. Since then, Argentina was formally incorporated into the Viceroyalty of Peru governed from Lima under the Spanish crown. In 1776, the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata was created with the head of government placed in Buenos Aires. In 1810, Argentina declared its independence from Spain and the country officially obtained its independence in 1824. In 1863, a Treaty of Peace and Amity was signed between the two nations.〔(Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Argentina (in Spanish) )〕 Since obtaining independence from Spain, diplomatic relations between the two nations have been stable. During the Spanish civil war, Argentina remained neutral and gave asylum to any Spanish citizen requesting it without regards to whether they were Republicans or ''Franquistas''.〔(La guerra civil española y la sociedad argentina (in Spanish) )〕 At the end of the war, Argentina maintained diplomatic relations with the government of General Francisco Franco. Maintaining diplomatic relations allowed for the first lady of Argentina Eva Perón to visit Spain in 1947 and donate five million tons of food to the Spanish people.〔(16 días con Evita Perón en España (in Spanish) )〕 After the death of General Franco in Spain in 1975, Argentina entered a period of military dictatorship between 1976–1983. In 1982, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, also known as the ''Malvinas'' in Spanish. Spain recognized and supported the claims of Argentine territorial rights over the islands. In 2012, British documents were made declassified and stated that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher feared that during the Falkland war, Spain would join Argentina by invading Gibraltar. 〔(El País: ¿Puede España atacar Gibraltar? (in Spanish) )〕 A dispute arose in 2012, when Argentina sought to nationalize YPF as Spain warned against such a move.〔(Spain Cautions Argentina on Takeover of Energy Firm )〕 On 16 April, Argentina's President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner announced the nationalization, to which Spain warned of a "clear and decisive" response.〔(Spain Pledges Action Against Argentina Over YPF Seizure )〕 Since then, Argentina has recompensed the Spanish government over the take over of YPF.〔(Spain's Repsol agrees to $5 billion settlement with Argentina over YPF )〕 Both nations are members of the Organization of Ibero-American States and the United Nations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Argentina–Spain relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
