Argentina

The colonization of the region around Río de la Plata began in 1536 with the foundation of Buenos Aires. The efforts of the Spanish expeditions in establishing a permament colony were halted by the lack of food and the hostility of the native Indians, leading them to abandon the site five years later. Buenos Aires was definitely founded as late as in 1580 but - due to the marginal localization and the lack of precious metals - it remained ignored by the Spaniards for over 200 years.
