It's important to remember that "At the turn of the last century, its 
[Argentina's] economy was comparable to that of the United States." 
This fact points to the significance of the 
Spanish-American/Filipino-American wars, among other things, in the 
politico-economic development of the USA.  The USA could have been an 
Argentina, if it hadn't become an Empire.
