- Title

- Abstract
Armies played an important political role in the Argentine War of Independence. In the Rio de la Plata, this function did not hamper their capacity for conquering territories, but meant that these military formations came to play a fundamental role in political and social terms. Faced with a historiographical tradition contemplating full state control and war as a means of constructing nationality, the new research highlighted the armies' autonomy. This work aims to analyze the regulation which the revolutionary governments enforced upon veteran troops in the city of Buenos Aires, as a means of problematizing both hypotheses and outlining a much more contradictory process. The work also seeks to assess the ruptures and continuities implied by the new provisions in terms of the existing Castilian-Indian Law. To do so, it describes the various reforms introduced from the period of the revolution to the fall of the most radical faction, which drove the creation of an entirely professional and modern army.
