description By 1852, Argentina had concluded the almost 40 years of political turmoil that followed Independence Day on 9 July 1816. Buenos Aires had 76 000 inhabitants, the country had a population of one million and more than 80% of the population were illiterate. A significant number of intellectuals who had been exiled abroad, where they had the opportunity to travel to Europe and the USA, returned to Argentina. Much of the ruling class that shaped the country in the following decades, in the so-called National Organization Period that followed enactment of the National Constitution in 1853, emerged from this group of exiles. The strong promotion of European immigration and education meant that, by 1910, the country had six million inhabitants, almost two million of whom were European, and the illiteracy rate had been reduced to 34%. During the National Organization Period, three pre-existing institutions – the Public Museum of Buenos Aires and the universities of Córdoba and Buenos Aires – acquired relevance for the first time in the promotion of geological studies.
