The Flag of Argentina
Argentina's flag is a light blue and white triband with a yellow "Sun
of May" in the center. The flag is twice as wide as it is tall.
This flag was adopted on February 12, 1812, four years after Argentina
achieved independence from Spain (1816).
The "Sun of May" design was added to the flag in 1818.
The blue and white colors were chosen by Manuel Belgrano, the leader of
the Argentinian revolution against Spain, and represent the blue sky parting
to reveal white clouds, as is said to have happened when the Liberation
demonstration began in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on May 25, 1810.
