Argentina Tips

I’m trying to get a certain Argentina going where I deny the conquest of Rio de La Plata and go full isolationist. Ultimate objectives are to focus on GDP growth, get immigrants, and liberalizing the country.

Main issue I’ve had is getting the Landowners sufficiently weakened to pass enough reforms before I go Republic. Otherwise the PB and Church just join a weak-ish Landowners for a coalition that always kicks my Rural and Intellegencia’s asses. Then I end up getting locked from homesteading and other laws for attracting immigrants. Also De Rosas is unbelievably mid which doesn’t help.

Any tips are appreciated, thanks.
