Do you know what the story behind the Argentina flag is? I do.
The Argentine flag was designed by General Manuel Belgrano in 1812. Manuel Belgrano was an Argentinean politician, lawyer and military leader. According to the tradition of Argentina he got the idea and colours for the flag whilst gazing at the sky, prior to the Battle of Paraná. Some believed that Belgrano created the Sun of May on this day but some people believe that the origin of the Sun of May is related to Inca mythology. Argentineans celebrate Argentine Flag Day on the anniversary of General Manuel Belgrano’s death on the 20th June.
