:bulletred: I've wanted to draw historical chibis of my otp for a while. I finally got to draw them! :heart: This drawing was something to relax myself because I've been very stressed with exams, hopefully I have only one left ∩(︶▽︶)∩

The title refers to the Agroexporting period in Argentina (1880-1930) where the nation had a very important economic growth, as it became 'the breadbasquet of the world' due to its great geographic condition to develop agriculture and cattle, becoming a country provider of raw material to the industrial nations. The country that got involved the most with Argentina's growth, was the United Kingdom indeed, since the British (English) immigrants that came to Argentina did it as as industrialists and major landowners. The British investment in Argentina was very important, as it said that Argentina in the Victorian age was part of the United Kingdom's informal empire, an independent nation that Britain had economic influence in, that was outside the British Empire.


I was going to share some translated quotes from a text in Spanish about British investment in Argentina, but JUST YESTERDAY I found a great text in English that explais pretty well about this topic, and it sincerely made me laugh very hard and have a lot of feels because, well you'll see :XD:

:rose:Faded Glory, The History of British Investment and Argentina: www.buenosairesenglish.com/201…

Over the course of more than 100 years, England invested billions of dollars in Argentina. Today, Buenos Aires is a shadow of its glorious past.

Argentina is like an old girlfriend who kicked you to the curb after you showered her with a fortune in diamonds, furs and expensive clothing over the course of many years. It isn’t enough that she was the one that ended the affair but that she also kept everything you gave her.
During the reign of Queen Victoria, Argentina was an integral part of the United Kingdom’s informal empire and became a privileged benefactor of massive British investment.

[...]The love affair was destined to last forever, but Argentina had other plans.

Argentina does not appear to be overly concerned with the preservation and restoration of its past, as much as it is with the assimilation of the past with the present and future. Today, slick office towers and ultra-luxury, high-rise condominiums are interspersed between elegant mansions and office buildings built during the golden age of Buenos Aires. Elegant parks and flower gardens are scattered throughout this city where an active café society remains.

[...] Still, the old girlfriend looks pretty good for her age, though her fur coat is looking a bit worn and tattered around the edges and some of the jewelry she has had to pawn to pay for her vices.
And like any spurned suitor, England insists on retaining at least one souvenir of their relationship: the much-contested Falkland Islands, known as Las Islas Malvinas and claimed by Argentina to this day.



..Okay, I just HAD to share that :XD: :heart: I love my otp ahhh:heart::heart:
In the picture you see Argentina as a gauchita and UK as a bussinessman, holding hands because they were a great economic duo.
The chibis took me forever, but I hope you like them!


:bulletgreen: POR FIN chibis históricos otpescos ∩(︶▽︶)∩ he tenido esta idea desde hace un tiempo y por fin la hice, más que nada para quitarme el estrés de los trimestrales de encima.

Decidí hacer una imagen en alusión al período agorexportador de la Argentina(1880-1930), donde gran parte del desarrollo económico de Argentina se dio gracias a la significativa inversión británica y el comercio de materas primas con los países Industrializados. El tiempo en que la Argentina se denominaba "el granero del mundo" :')

:rose:El Período Agroexportador:
www.taringa.net/posts/apuntes-…

En Argentina los grupos sociales con mayor poder económico y político comenzaron a organizar la economía como complemento de la de los países industrializados, particularmente de la sociedad inglesa.
Por último, hay que recordar que la inversión masiva de capital británico consolidó definitivamente la posición del Reino Unido como primer país exportador[...]
El Estado argentino tomó ciertas medidas para favorecer la llegada de capitales e inmigrantes para así llevar a cabo este modelo y poder insertarse en el mercado mundial como proveedor de materias primas. [...]La política oficial favorecía el desarrollo agrícola


:rose:El negocio Británico en la Argentina: www.taringa.net/posts/info/761…
La ocupación de las Islas Malvinas sigue renovando las tensiones en la cuerda política, pero los vínculos comerciales y los negocios del Reino Unido en la Argentina parecen ser de hierro. Como hace más de 100 años, los británicos tienen intereses económicos en nuestro país que no deberían estar dispuestos a resignar.

El triángulo comercial en el que los Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido se disputaban, a comienzos del siglo XX, la provisión de manufacturas al pujante mercado interno argentino se disolvió en favor del país del norte. Pero Londres no resignó sus intereses comerciales con su socio favorito de Sudamérica. Ya no fueron los ferrocarriles ni los préstamos usurarios. La internacionalización de la producción dio lugar a la inversión extranjera directa como nueva forma de extracción de recursos.

El histórico y legítimo reclamo argentino por la soberanía de las Islas Malvinas, las provocaciones inglesas con el ejercicio militar y su indiferencia erosionan y tensan por momentos la relación política y diplomática de Argentina y el Reino Unido.
Pero los lazos económicos esta vez son más fuertes y, tanto el Estado, como los empresarios ingleses saben que lo que se llevan de nuestro país no lo encuentran a la vuelta de la esquina.


Si alguien leyó la información se los agradezco:heart: si no, .. no me digan que no tengo razones para shipear esto u_u)z
Argentina está vestida de gauchita y UK de hombre de negocios :heart: Un título alternativo sería La estanciera y el Manufacturero, pero no daba :XD:
Espero que les guste uvu :heart:
