Junta Grande (Spanish pronunciation:[ˈxuntaˈɣɾande]), orJunta Provisional Gubernativa de Buenos Aires,[1] is the most common name for the executive government of theUnited Provinces of the Río de la Plata (modern-dayArgentina), that followed the incorporation of provincial representatives into thePrimera Junta (First Junta).
ThePrimera Junta, created on May 25, 1810 out of theMay Revolution, was meant to be a provisional government until a Junta representative of all the cities of theViceroyalty of the Río de la Plata was integrated. Reactions from the provinces, however, were not homogeneous. Some of them recognised the Buenos Aires Junta and the outcome of the events of theMay Revolution, while others sought to exercise exclusive control over their own affairs, and still others continued to recognize the Regency Council in Spain.
Thus, in order to avoidroyalists taking political advantage of the situation, the Buenos Aires Junta sought to quickly assert its power. On May 27, 1810, it delivered messages to every one of the Viceroyaltymunicipal councils (Spanish:cabildos), asking them to elect representatives to join the Junta in Buenos Aires. By early December, most delegates had already arrived in the capital city, and they were asking for their effective incorporation into the governing body (that was held up due to the infighting betweencentralists led by the Junta's Secretary of WarMariano Moreno, andfederalists led by the Junta's President,Cornelio Saavedra). Ultimately, Saavedra managed to orchestrate Moreno's resignation and on December 18, 1810, the Junta Grande was at last established.
It governed until September 23, 1811 (since August 26, 1811 under the presidency ofDomingo Matheu), when it was replaced as the executive authority by theFirst Triumvirate. However, reorganized as aConservative Junta, it retained some controlling functions over the Triumvirate.
