Introduction of Argentines

The indigenous people in Argentina are Indians, mainly including Diagita, Ataka Meniaud, Valpe, Guarani, Pampa, tehuelche, Araucan and Ona. Before the invasion of European colonists, their social development was at different stages of the primitive commune system, mostly engaged in gathering, fishing and hunting, some engaged in slash-and-burn farming, and some engaged in textile, metal smelting and pottery making. 15 16 after the Spanish colonists invaded, they mixed with Indians, making the mixed-race population in some areas as high as 75%. Most of the Indians in south-central China were killed, expelled or forcibly assimilated by colonists, and their population declined sharply, and their land was completely occupied. The surviving Indians mainly live in the border area with Paraguay, with less than 200 thousand people. During the 300 years of Spanish colonial rule, Argentina's economy developed slowly. 18 10 after the overthrow of colonial rule, the Argentine government took measures to encourage immigrants to enter the country, and then European immigrants moved in one after another. According to the survey of 1980, the descendants of European immigrants account for more than 97% of the national population, of which 50% are of Italian origin, 30% are of Spanish origin, and 15% are descendants of immigrants from other European countries. About 2% people come from neighboring countries and other regions, and also have European descent.
