La segunda guerra mundial había dejado desolada a Europa y, como revés, próspera a la Argentina.
I had translated this as "conversely," and the client explains: No está mal, pero como revés no es a la inversa, si no en consecuencia (medio tenístico el uso ;-), pero bueno, me servía…)

conversely... as a result
and conversely leaving Argentina prosperous as a result.
