description This article deals with the territorial aspects of the fragmentation of sovereignty and analyzes the different territorial configurations resulting from the dismantling of imperial structures in the Rio de la Plata, in order to call into question the false evidence of an alleged continuity between the empire and the modern state.Taking up the fundamental distinction proposed by law historians between “given” space and “decided” space, he traces the process of formation of the viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata and its dislocation at the end of the first decade of the revolution of independence, during which the cities assert themselves as subjects of sovereignty. He then evokes the birth and territorialization of the provincial republics in the early 1820s, their spatial organization, then the jurisdictional rivalries existing between these territories, before analyzing the territorial configuration of the future nation and the relations of the republics with the frontier States, showing that it is more of a continuum between entities stemming from a common matrix than from interstate relations proper.
