The Incas Empire vanquished the tribes of the Northern Argentina and Chile, till the Maule River. But the capital of the Empire was Cuzco in Peru and its official language was Quechua (also one of the official Languages of modern Peru). Francisco Pizarro defeated the Incas in 1533, after the capture of the Auqui Inca (Prince) Atahualpa. The influence of the Quechua language can be traced till the word PAMPA meaning plains and also CANCHA, 'field' as well as PUNA 'peak' and the fact of many toponimies in Jujuy and Salta, specially. The most important Maestro of the Argentinan Folklore shows the richest evidence of the Incas Culture: ATAHUALPA YUPANQUI.

Argentina means "land of silver" or "silvery one" in Latin. The Spanish Conquistadores created the Virreynato del Río de la Plata ruled until the 1810. Most Argentines are of European descent and come from Spain, Italy, or other European countries. Very few Indians or mestizos (people of mixed Indian and European descent) remain. They make up only about 3 percent of the population. Most Argentines are Roman Catholic but the Constitucion Argentina assures the freedom of faiths.
