The flag of Argentina was designed by military leader Manuel Belgrando in an effort to differentiate between the Argentine armies and the Spanish, who had both used the colors yellow and red. The flag of Argentina was raised for the first time on February 27, 1812, in Rosario, Argentina, during the country's war for independence.

The current flag of Argentina was officially adopted on February 12, 1812. The blue stripes upon a white field were placed on the flag by Manuel Belgrano, the leader of the revolution, and are said to be symbolic of the sky above when the fight for the country's independence began. The golden sun, with the Sun of May's face, was added to the flag in 1818

The national banner of Argentina has three equivalent flat groups of light blue, white, and light blue with a brilliant yellow sun with a human face known as the Sun of May focused in the white band. The hues of the flag are like the white skies and snow of the Andes; the sun image remembers the presence of the sun through shady skies on 25 May 1810 amid the first mass demonstration; the sun elements are those of Inti, the divine Inca of the sun.

The colors of Argentina's flag may reflect the newborn nation's ties to the House of Bourbon, which was not in power in Spain at the time of Argentina's war of independence. The fighting nation may have wanted to show loyalty to Spain, rather than France and Napoleon, who had taken control of Spain at the time. Others believe that the flag represents the sky and clouds, because of the addition of the sun. However, the sun is the symbol of the Incan god of Sun, Inti.

However, this is not the end of the story. You may prolong your own one by having your national flag. The Flag company Inc. will help you to find your flag. You need just search it on the web and what happens next is up to your readiness of being what you are.
