Wiki:
The flag of Argentina is a triband, composed of three
equally wide horizontal bands colored light blue and white. There are multiple
interpretations on the reasons for those colors. The flag was created by Manuel
Belgrano, in line with the creation of the Cockade of Argentina, and was first
raised at the city of Rosario on February 27, 1812, during the Argentine War of
Independence. The National Flag Memorial was later built on the site. The First
Triumvirate did not approve the use of the flag, but the Asamblea del Año XIII
allowed the use of the flag as a war flag. It was the Congress of Tucumán which
finally designated it as the national flag, in 1816. A yellow Sun of May was
added to the center in 1818.
The full flag featuring the sun is called the Official
Ceremonial Flag (Spanish: Bandera Oficial de Ceremonia). The flag without the
sun is considered the Ornamental Flag (Bandera de Ornato). While both versions
are equally considered the national flag, the ornamental version must always be
hoisted below the Official Ceremony Flag. In vexillological terms, the Official
Ceremonial Flag is the civil, state and war flag and ensign, while the
Ornamental Flag is an alternative civil flag and ensign. There is controversy
of the true color of the first flag, between scientist and the descendants of
Manuel Belgrano between blue and pale blue.
