TheRepublic of Entre Ríos was a short-livedrepublic inSouth America in the early nineteenth century.[1] Comprising approximately 166,980 km2 (64,470 sq mi)[2] of what are today theArgentineprovinces ofEntre Ríos andCorrientes,[3] the country was founded in 1820 by thecaudillo GeneralFrancisco Ramírez (who styled himselfjefe supremo, supreme chief)[4] and lasted only one year.[5] On September 28, 1821, Lucio Norberto Mansilla was elected Governor of the Province of Entre Rios, and the Republic was subsequently dissolved.
In spite of the "Republic" in its title, Ramirez never really intended to declare an independent Entre Rios. Rather, he was making a political statement in opposition to the monarchist and centralist ideas that back then permeated Buenos Aires' politics.[citation needed]
