The Argentina flag is a triband, consisting of three wide blue and white horizontal bands. There are many interpretations of the reasons for the colors. The flag was made by Manuel Belgrano, in line with the creation of the Cockade of Argentina, and was first appointed in the city of Rosario on February 27, 1812, during the Argentine War of Independence. The National Flag Memorial was later built on this site. The First Triumvirate did not approve the use of the flag, but Asamblea del AÃÆ'à ± o XIII allowed the use of the flag as a battle flag. It was the Tucumin Congress that was finally designated as a national flag, in 1816. A Yellow Sun may be added to the center in 1818.
The full flag featuring the sun is called the Official Ceremonial Flag (Spanish: Bandera Oficial de Ceremonia ). The sunless flag is considered the Ornamental Flag ( Bandera de Ornato ). While both versions are equally considered national flags, the decorative versions should always be flown under the Official Ceremonial Flag. In vexilological terms, the Official Seremonial Flag is a flag and banner of civil, state and war, whereas the Flag of Ornamental is a civil flag and an alternative banner. There is a true color controversy of the first flag, between scientists and descendants of Manuel Belgrano between pale blue and blue.

History
The Argentine flag was created by Manuel Belgrano during the Argentine War of Independence. While in Rosario, he noticed that the royalist and patriotic powers use the same color, the yellow and red colors of Spain. Upon realizing this, Belgrano created the Cockade of Argentina, approved by the First Triumvirate on 18 February 1812. Driven by this success, he created the flag of the same color nine days later. It used the colors used by Criollos during the May Revolution in 1810. However, recent studies and studies will show that the colors chosen from the Spanish Order of Charles III symbolize loyalty to the legitimate, and then the captives of King Ferdinand VII of Spain. Most portraits of the creation or use of the first flag show the modern design, but the Macha flag, a very early design stored in the House of Freedom in Sucre, Bolivia is not a vertical stand with two white bands and a blue light in the middle. The flag was first flown for the soldiers to swear for it on February 27, 1812, at BaterÃÆ'a Libertad (Liberty Battery), by the Paran River. On that day, Belgrano said the following words:
Soldiers of the Fatherland, we have so far had the glory of wearing a national necklace; there (pointing to the battery of Independence), on the Battery of Independence, where our Government has recently had the honor of granting it upon it, will our weapons magnify their glory. Let us swear to defeat our enemy, internal and external, and South America will be the temple of Independence and Freedom. In the will that you so swear, say to me: LONG LIFE LIFE! (after the oath) "The captain of the Lord and the army was chosen for the first time for Battery Independence: go, get hers and fulfill the oath you just sworn today.
Belgrano sent a letter addressed to the First Triumvirate, informing them of the newly created flag. However, unlike with the cockade, Triumvirat did not accept the use of flags: the policy at the time was to state that the government ruled in the name of King Ferdinand VII of Spain captured by Napoleon, while the flag-making was a clear independent act. Thus, the triad sends a warning to Belgrano not to fight under the banner, but when the reply arrives, Belgrano has moved north, following the previous order asking him to strengthen the patriotic position in Upper Peru after the defeat of Juan JosÃÆ'à © Castelli in The Battle of Huaqui. Meanwhile, the flag was flown for the first time in Buenos Aires over the St. Nicholas Church of Bari on August 23, 1812; where now the Obelisk of Buenos Aires is located. Still unaware of Triumvirat's refusal, Belgrano raised a flag in San Salvador de Jujuy and was blessed by a local church on the second anniversary of the May Revolution. Belgrano received orders from Triumvirat by the time they arrived in Salta and stopped using the flag. When the army had sworn with a new flag, Belgrano said that he kept it for a state of great victory.
The First Triumvirate was later replaced by the Second Triumvirate, with a more liberal ideology, called Asamblea del Aà ± XIII. Although one of its original purposes, it does not declare independence, and thus disapproves of the use of a national flag either; Nevertheless, the flag made by Belgrano was authorized to be used as a battle flag. The first oath for the newly approved flag was on February 13, 1813, next to the Salado River, which came to be known as "RÃÆ'o Juramento " ("Oath River"). The first battle that fought with the approved flag was the Battle of Salta, a decisive patriotic victory that reached the total defeat of the Pisto Triston kingdom.
The flag would eventually be declared a national flag by the Congress of TucumÃÆ'án on July 20, 1816, shortly after the declaration of independence. The proposal was made by the representative of Juan JosÃÆ'à © Paso and the text written by the representative of Charcas, JosÃÆ'à © Serrano. On February 25, 1818, the Congress (now working in Buenos Aires) included the May Sun in the war flag, following the proposal of ChorroarÃÆ'n's deputy. The sun was copied after one of the first Argentine coins was shown in 1813. It was then decided to make it part of the regular flag afterward, and thus the sun no longer represents war.
JosÃÆ'à © de San MartÃÆ'n realized the new flag, but did not use it during the Andes crossing in 1817. Being a combined operation of Argentine and Chilean troops, he thought that the new flag would be a better idea than using the flag of Argentina or Chile. This leads to the creation of the Andean Flag, which is used at the intersection. This flag is currently used as a provincial flag by Mendoza province.
On June 8, 1938, president Roberto Ortiz approved the national law no. 12361 states June 20 "Flag Day", a national holiday. The date was decided as a memorial to the death of Belgrano in 1820. In 1957, the National Flag Monument (10,000 m 2 complex) was inaugurated in the Rosary to commemorate the creation of the flag, and the official Flag of Day ceremonies is usually carried around at that time.
In 1978 it was established, among other measures, that the Official Ceremonial Flag should be 1.4 meters wide and 0.9 meters high, and that the sun should be embroidered.
According to Decision 10,302/1944, article 2 states that the Official Flag of the Nation is a flag with the sun, approved by the "Congress of TucumÃÆ'án", reunited in Buenos Aires on 25 February 1818. Verse 3 states that the flag with the sun at its center is only used by the Federal Government and Provinces; while individuals and institutions use sunless flags.
Pada tahun 1985, UU 23.208 mencabut pasal 3 dari Keputusan 10,302/1944, mengatakan bahwa Pemerintah Federal dan Provinsi, serta individu memiliki hak untuk menggunakan Bendera Resmi Bangsa.

Popular beliefs connect colors with the colors of the sky, clouds, and sun; some national anthems for flags such as "Aurora" or "Respect to the flag" state also so. However, historians usually ignore this idea, and connect them with loyalty to the House of Bourbon.
After the May Revolution, the first time of the Argentine Independence War, Triumvirat claimed to act on behalf of the Spanish King Ferdinand VII, who became a prisoner of Napoleon Bonaparte during the Peninsula War. Whether such loyalty is real or a trick to hide independence is a topic of dispute. The creation of a new flag with these colors would be a way of showing autonomy, while keeping in touch with the captive king.
Shape and size
From 1978, the official flag proportion was 9:14, and the official size was 0.9 with 1.4 meters. It features three alternating lines of sky blue, white and sky blue. Each line has a height of 30 cm.

Sunday May
The sun is called the Sun of May because it is a replica carving on the first Argentine coin, approved in 1813, which is worth eight escudos (one Spanish dollar). It has 16 straight and 16 sunbeams waved.
In 1978 the color of the sun was set to golden yellow (ijo amarillo oro ), to have an inner diameter of 10 cm, and the outer diameter 25 cm (the diameter of the sun is equal to 5 / 6 white line height.The sun face is 2 / 5 from its height). It features 32 rays, alternately wavy and straight, and from 1978 it had to be embroidered in "Official Flag Ceremony".
The influence of the Argentine flag
French breeder Louis-Michel Aury used the Argentine flag as a model for the blue-and-white blue flag of the first independent state in Central America, created 1818 on Isla de Providencia, an island off the east coast of Nicaragua. This country existed until about 1821, before Gran Colombia took over control of these islands. Somewhat later (1823) this flag was used again as a model for the Central American Provincial flag, the confederation of the current Guatemalan States of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, existing from 1823 to 1838. Following the dissolution of the Union, the five countries became independent, but even today all of these countries except Costa Rica use blue-and-white-blue line flags (the Costa Rican flag has a red line superimposed on white, added to combine all the colors of the French flag). Flag of Argentina also inspired the flag of Uruguay and Paraguay.
