Argentina Flag
Brief History. Europeans first explored the region in the early 1500s, and in 1776 formed a number of colonies, Including Argentina. Argentina declared independence from Spain in 1816, after which it experienced periods of internal conflict between conservatives and liberals and between civilian and military factions. After World War II, a long period of Peronist authoritarian rule and interference in subsequent governments was followed by a military junta that took power in 1976. Democracy returned in 1983, and has persisted despite numerous challenges, the most formidable of which was a severe economic crisis in 2001-02 that led to violent public protests and the resignation of several interim presidents.Flags of the World > Argentina Flag
