Argentina has 6.65 million people for population. They are most known for sports like football and basket ball. The meaning for the flag is interesting, the blue represents freedom, and majesty of the blue sky. White, means the clouds. As the sun, represents the Sun of May and the process of independence. It is simple, but meaningful.

From what I see, Argentina isn't that different from Spanish or Mexico. Although, it is special in its own way as well. With its food, holidays, and music. It has very pretty scenery, and a neat looking flag. One thing i like about Argentina, is its pretty mountains and waterfalls.
