Argentina is a gorgeous tropical country that is found in the southern part of South America. It is home to twenty-three remote areas and is the second biggest country in South America with a population of roughly forty-two million people. Argentina comes from the Latin word “silver,” argentum because silver is the metal that lured the Spanish pioneers there in the 1500’s. Even though silver is the motivation that led these pioneers to discover Argentina, they were unable to find silver. They did however, find rich soils that made them tons of money from the production of cattle and grains. Argentina is now the second leading country in South America with signs of societies living there since 11,000 B.C.
Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina. Argentina’s bird is the Hornero, their flower is a Ceibo, their dance is the Tango and their motto is En Union y libertad” which translates to “In unity and freedom.” Argentina has a Coat of Arms that has a sun at the top called the “Golden Sun of May” and implies Argentina as a fresh and wonderful nation climbing to the surface of earth. The cap at the top is the Phygian cap that represents liberty. The Coat of Arms has two hands shaking that suggests the unity of the different shires of Argentina, with the white and blue signifying the people and the land. The spike under the cap characterizes the enthusiasm of their people to protect the land and shield their independence. Argentina’s flag is blue and white with a sun in the middle and was adopted in February 1812. The blue stripes on a white meadow on Argentina’s flag was positioned on the flag by Manuel Belgrano and indicates the sky above when the battle for Argentina’s freedom began.

  • Argentina During and After Videla's Regime

    1868 Words  | 4 Pages

    Economically speaking, Argentina was at the verge of collapse despite its initial strong stability seen at the beginning of Videla’s regime. Argentina adapted a neo-liberal economic system; in addition their initial policies of liberating trade and eliminating price controls were just some policies that would create huge economic problems for Argentina at the time. In order to make up for liberating domestic trade and eliminating price controls control had to be implemented to ensure that the regime had full control of the economic situation which was at stake as a result of the adoption of these polices. Wages in Argentina were lowered which resulted in “real wage well below historical levels” (Nogues). Although this was successful in reducing inflation at first this in time also cause inflation to rise relatively high. As a result of this high inflation that occurred as a result of this police, he Argentinian regime entered a panic and implemented other policies to try to amend this problem, policies that resulted contradictory since these polices hindered the success of one another. The reintroduction of price and exchange controls along with the already implemented wage controls all lead up to “inconsistent policy behavior” (Nogues).The inconsistencies in economic policies lead the Central Bank to classify “perceived capital inflows as being inflationary, and financial controls to be ineffective” (Nogues).

  • The Rise of the Recovered Factory Movement in Argentina

    1099 Words  | 3 Pages

    The rise of the recovered factory movement in Argentina seems to have been born not for economic enterprise, or of a great desire for social movement and gain, but out of desperation and starvation. Personal accounts in Sin Patron tell not of a revolution for its own sake but of a workforce doing "anything to survive" (Collective, 2007, p. 56). Far from reveling in the absence of leadership these working women often found themselves destitute and wishing for the return of the bosses to their occupied factories (Collective, 2007, p. 64). The interviews often show not of an expectation for the factories to become the collective property of the occupiers but of an expectation that the owners would return (Collective, 2007, p. 69).

    ...or a new political and economic order. Political reforms began rapidly after the power vacuum began. Three months after the last military leader, Argentina was hosting democratic election; on October 30, 1983, Argentines went to the polls to choose their leaders. The 1983 Argentine General Election was the first chance votes had to elect their leaders in about a decade, and 85.6% of Argentines took that chance. Raul Alfonsin, of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), won the Presidential Election. The UCR also won the senate majority. Finally, the government of Argentina was united again. Alfonsin inherited a country in shambles, yet he worked day in and day out to restate Argentina as a world power. He then later handed the Presidency to Carlos Menem, the winner of the 1988 election. After Alfonsin laid the groundwork to Argentina’s great reforms, Menem was able to finish

  • ‘The Dirty War’ of Argentina

    1979 Words  | 4 Pages

    Between the years of 1976 to 1983, the period known as the ‘Dirty War’ was in full force in Argentina. During this period, thousands of people mysteriously went missing, and are referred to now as the ‘Disappeared’. It is believed that many of the disappeared were taken by agents of the Argentine government, and perhaps tortured and killed before their bodies were disposed of in unmarked graves or rural areas. Whenever the female captives were pregnant, their children were stolen away right after giving birth, while they themselves remained detained. It is estimated that 500 young children and infants were given to families with close ties to the military to be raised. Within this essay I would like to touch on the brief history of the Dirty war and why the military felt it was necessary to take and kill thousands of Argentina’s, and also the devastating affects the disappeared, and stolen children are having on living relatives of those taken or killed. It is hard to imagine something like this happening in North America relatively recently. To wakeup and have members of your family missing, with no explanation, or to one day be told your parents are not biologically related is something Argentina’s had to deal with, and are continuing to face even today.

  • History of Tango

    1173 Words  | 3 Pages

    The origin of the word “Tango” in Argentina is still a mystery but it is believed to come from Argentina. The most common theory was that the community of African descent put the name of their god with the Spanish word for drum (tambor) and then came up with the word “Tango”. In Argentina Tango had a much different meaning then that in Spain. Members of the African community in Buenos Aires certainly joined in and influenced the development of the dance and music, just as members all the other communities in Buenos Aires did.

  • The Tango's Development In The Late 19th Century

    968 Words  | 2 Pages

    The tango’s development in the late nineteenth century is somewhat obscurely documented, despite its relative modernity. Developing over several years, the approximate year of its origin is given as 1880, although it is likely that it reached a more official form sometime in between 1880 and 1890 (Collier, 1992). The tango as a dance was first established in Buenos Aires, Argentina, however there is also an early record of it some 200 kilometres away on the other side of the Rio de la Plaza estuary in Montevideo, Uruguay (Collier, 1992). During the nineteenth century, Argentina’s modernisation and agricultural capabilities led to a rapid influx of immigrants: between 1821 and 1932, Argentina received more immigrants than any country apart from the United States of America (Azzi, 1996).
