The earliest recorded human presence in modern-day Argentina dates back to thePaleolithic period. TheInca Empire expanded to the northwest of the country in pre-Columbian times. The modern country has its roots inSpanish colonisation of the region during the 16th century. Argentina rose as the successor state of theViceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, a Spanishoverseas viceroyalty founded in 1776. TheArgentine Declaration of Independence on July 9 of 1816 and theArgentine War of Independence (1810–1825) were followed by anextended civil war that lasted until 1880, culminating in the country's reorganisation as afederation. The country thereafter enjoyed relative peace and stability, withseveral subsequent waves of European immigration, mainly ofItalians andSpaniards, influencing itsculture anddemography.

Location of the explosion
Location of the explosion
Agas explosion in a residential area ofRosario, the third-largest city in Argentina, occurred on August 6, 2013. It was caused by a large gas leak; a nearby building collapsed, and others had a high risk of structural failure. Twenty-two people died, and sixty were injured. Several organizations helped secure the area, search for survivors and aid people who lost their homes. Shortly after the explosion, the time frame for reconstruction was estimated at six months.

The provincial judiciary, headed by judges Juan Carlos Curto, Javier Beltramone and Patricia Bilotta, launched an investigation of the cause of the explosion. Primary suspects wereLitoral Gas (the natural-gas provider) and an employee who did maintenance work at the building that day. Several public figures sent condolences, and most candidates for the 2013primary elections suspended their political campaigns. (Full article...)
