Federalisation of Buenos Aires

Federalization is a term which in Argentine law defines the process of assigning federal status to a territory, with the purpose of making that territory the national capital.The federalization of Buenos Aires, that politically separated the city from the Buenos Aires Province to put it under direct control of the national government, was a constant aspiration of the other provinces of Argentina since the formation of the national state. However, due to harsh political debates around the issue, federalization was only achieved in 1880, more than sixty years later.
