What do you know about my country? (Argentina)

[klipton]

Its located in South America(pretty much all of the bottom half, aside from Chili) and fought a small war with the UK over the Falkland Islands in the 80's(1982 I believe).

Other than that, I don't know much else.

You lost the Falklands war to the UK and Diego Armando Maradona cheated his team to victory against England in the 1986 world cup with the 'hand of god'.

No overly great things, but all I know about your country. Not that I look at Argentina in a negative view.

Located in South America, capital is Buenos Aires, and the primary language is Spanish...
and there was a bit of a war over the Falkland Islands... and that's about all I know off the top of my head.

We call them Malvinas around here...

We wouldn't have off-season fruits and veg. without you guys. Thanks for that. I think a fair amount of Italians emigrated to Argentina to avoid fascism.

Its one of many countries that doesn't do much to get my attention. In south america, Official language, spanish, seems very civilized and modern, and doesn't it own like a small portion of antartica?

It's in South America, and it sounds suspiciously like it should belong in a cold place instead of a hot and wet climate.

This, for some reason I always assume its by Norway or something, and then remember its the complete opposite.

It´s actually pretty icey on some regions.

You make and waste(from what I've read, which was one article/thing like 4 years ago or something) a lot of meat.

I'd say more, but other people have done so.

That´s kind of true. Im vegetarian tough.

Everything I know about Argentina I learned from Evita...
So not much I'm afraid.

Yeah, I was about to say that all I know is that it shouldn't cry for that woman from Evita.

I know its the land of tango if I am not mistaken.

Had that women called Evita at some point in the 30's, 40's. Supported Germany on WW2.

Its in South America an stretches from subtropical areas up in the north to subpolar areas in the deep south (Patagonia).

Its the second biggest south american country.

Well it's in South America, it's the 2nd largest after Brazil, and the main language there is Spanish right? If I remember correctly, Brazil's main language is Portuguese (wow, spelled that right on my first try) and all the other countries in South America's language is Spanish but because Brazil has so many people compared to the others the majority of people who live in South America speak Portuguese.
Anyway, if any of that is wrong please correct me.

That is incorrect, by a small margin.

it didnt officially support germany, just peron was kind of fascinated by its ideology (and it got, along with brazil, tons of nazi immigrants after the war). and the origin of tango is disputed.

Wasn't it invaded by Britain? Or something? I really don't know much about Argentina lol.

 

[MikailCaboose]

Uhm...I friend in my class is from Argentina. Other than that being where she's from (and that it's in S. America), I can't think of much off the top of my head.

 

[Pegghead]

That it's called Argentina.

On WW2 Argentina stayed neutral. Everything else was ok.
