In 1810 10% of the population of Buenos Aires was Spanish born. In 1822 that proportion had decreased to 3.25%. This article analyzes the factors which caused the decline. The initial official attitude towards the peninsular Spaniards was conciliatory but vielded to an increasingly repressive attitude as the war went on. Family ties which linked Spaniards to the leading families of Buenos Aires, together with social class and economic resources, intriduced selective mechanisms in the application of the repressive measures.
