This is the PBS site for Argentina's independence, and like other PBS online articles, is extremely easy to read and clear-cut. Unfortunately, it focuses more on the aftermath of the indepence, as opposed to the events leading up to it, which isn't very helpful.
^^ I thought that this picture was very interesting, because of its caption: "A 16th century Spanish map of Río de la Plata. The exaggeration of the river and its tributaries reflects the colony's early appeal as a commercial port."

This is a NEAT site on the actual warfare of Argentina, and it provides good data about losses and military movements.
It also provides infomation about the parallels between Argentina, Chile, and Peru's independence movements, which is a neccessary component of the project.

This provides a wealth of information on the issues that were posed concerning the independence of Argentina. Superfluous, perhaps, but interesting nonetheless.
