About the flag

The flag represented by 🇦🇷 is the national flag of Argentina. It features three horizontal stripes: light blue on the top and bottom, with a white stripe in the center that contains a golden sun, known as the Sun of May. This sun symbolizes the Inca sun god and represents independence and freedom. Argentina's flag was adopted in 1818, during the country's struggle for independence from Spain. The blue and white colors are said to represent the skies and clouds over Argentina. Notably, the flag is celebrated each year on Flag Day, reinforcing national pride and unity among Argentinians. Remembering the colors and the sun emblem can help distinguish Argentina’s flag from others, as few flags incorporate a sun motif prominently like this one.
