- Abstract
This article studies the conditions that made possible the creation of an autonomous government in the first year of the May Revolution of 1810 in the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata. It also studies the different actions of this government, the ambiguous positions it adopted and the reactions to its creation within the general context of the crisis of the Spanish Monarchy. All this without presupposing that the outcome was already present in the previous series of events. In this sense, all the tensions and conflicts of the colonial period are duly considered. The purpose is to present the main disputes regarding legitimacy and the representations of popular sovereignty. With this in mind, the paper presents an integrated narrative of the whole process, along with the review of the main recent historiographic trends that guided it.
