If the Buenos Aires-based Unitarists, under Jose Rondeau, had beaten the Federalist caudillos Estanislao Lopez of Santa Fe and Francisco Ramirez of Entre Rios in the Battle of Cepeda in early 1820, rather than the other way around, would the Constitution of 1819 have lasted longer? Would it have slowed or even stopped the march to anarchy and caudillismo in the United Provinces of La Plata? Or would it have just delayed Federalist designs on the United Provinces the way that it happened OTL in 1820-21?
Plus, if there had been no Cisplatine War between Argentina and Brazil over the Cisplatine Province/Banda Oriental in 1825-28, would Manuel Dorrego or even, for that matter, Bernardino Rivadavia have remained the governor of Buenos Aires province for longer? Plus, would Juan Manuel de Rosas have had a shorter regime?
