History & Meaning of the Argentina Flag
The design of Argentina’s flag was drawn by Manuel Belgrano and first used during the Argentine War of Independence in 1812. However, the flag would not be officially designated as the national flag until 1816.
Belgrano initially chose white and light blue to create the Cockade of Argentina, a circular symbol worn on hats to symbolize allegiance to a political movement. He then used the same colors to create the flag of Argentina, stating that the skies and clouds inspired him. Later, the Sun of May was added to the flag to represent the ancient Inca sun god Inti.
