QUESTION 16-Home of Eva Peron, a pioneer in women's rights, and Diego Maradona, arguably the greatest soccer player in history, this country has the southernmost city in the world. Which country is it?
Correct Incorrect Argentina: The flag of Argentina holds a significant historical importance. It was created by Manuel Belgrano, an influential Argentine lawyer, and military leader, during the Argentine War of Independence. The flag was first raised in the city of Rosario on February 27, 1812, becoming a symbol of Argentine patriotism and resistance against Spanish colonial rule. The flag consists of three horizontal stripes of light blue and white, representing the clear skies and snow-capped Andean mountains of Argentina. In 1818, the Sun of May, a golden sunburst, was added to the flag's center, symbolizing the Inca sun god Inti and Argentina's newfound independence. The flag of Argentina continues to proudly represent the nation and its struggle for freedom.
