On This Day February 27

The Argentina population rose against Spanish rule in 1810. In May the Primera Junta, the first independent government in Argentina, was established in an open cabildo in Buenos Aires. The Argentine flag was first raised at the city of Rosario on February 27, 1812. On July 9, 1816 a congress of deputies meeting at San Miguel de Tucumán declared the country's independence and designated it as the national flag.
