on the contrary, without knowing the intricacies and history of such rivalries in details, foreigners can easily look foolish when voicing an ill-informed opinion - one very famous example of such a rivalry exists with argentina.

much of the contention between the two nations can be attributed to the long running soccer rivalry as well as the process of industrialization in the 1950s, which became somewhat of a contest between the two biggest economic and cultural hubs of the continent at the time - buenos aires and rio de janeiro.

there are many argentinians residing in brazil, within various communities throughout rio de janeiro, and relations tend to be exceptionally warm and pleasant - in fact, most of rio de janeiro's longtime foreign residents are argentinians, who have become cariocas do coração, enamored by the atmosphere, nature, and beauty of the city and the state.
