Why was Buenos Aires chosen as capital?

Buenos Aires was chosen as the capital of Argentina due to its strategic location along the Río de la Plata, which facilitated trade and communication with Europe and other regions. Its natural harbor made it an ideal port for commerce, helping to boost the economy and attract settlers. Additionally, Buenos Aires was already a significant population center by the time of independence, making it a logical choice for the capital of the newly formed nation. Its political and cultural development further solidified its status as the capital.
