The Animated History of Argentina 

Argentina is such a beautiful country, I wish could visiting someday. Greetings from Argentina

I'm from Argentina, and if you thought it was complicated, believe me, it's even more complicated.

Nadie: Alberto: ¿ALGUIEN DIJO *BARCOS*?

"Here is where things get a little MESSY" I mean i can't be the only one who thought of Lionel

You got me smiling with the mini fernet in the hands of a soldier

Si nombran a Menem y sus naves espaciales, me caigo de culo.

You know, that saying of "Los argentinos descendemos de los barcos" also became basically a meme.

As an argentinian I gotta say it's extremely hard, especially with Perón, to keep yourself on the gray line, and I'm surprised of how well you handled it here.

I was born in Argentina, but my family are Koreans. I never fully learned Argentine history since we moved to the US when I was 13. Thanks for the abridged history of my home country

Buenos Aires is called like that in honor of María del Buen Ayre, the Spanish name for Madonna di Bonaria, which is a title of the Virgin Mary that was venerated by Italian and Spanish sailors

ngl, i was rooting the entire time for argentina, sad that it had all these problems that later affected it, even now im hoping for the best for argentina. Also cool history, saludos desde México

I have two small issues with the video, the first one is that the flag of the Buenos Aires province (shown at 9:38) was created in the 1990's by a high school student. The other is that this gives the appearance that the mapuches were the only native peoples in these parts, and they weren't.

Watching this with my German great grandpa’s electrician-helmet on.

Que buen toque el soldado con el fernet

It would have been cool if, besides mentioning Argentina's links to Germany in ww2, you also mentioned the other side to its neutrality was their important business providing their beef exports to Britain, and the fact that Argentina sent over 4000 volunteers to fight along the British, especially in the Royal Air Force in UK and Canada! There's even a documentary about a 103 year old surviving veteran filmed this year. It wasn't all so biased in favor of Germany. Believe it or not, Britain had long been considered a friend nation in terms of diplomacy and economic investments and influence, as well as the thriving angloargentine community (the Malvinas/Falklands issue persisted, but it didn't gain diplomatic prominence until Perón's regime and onwards). I love the art on these videos. Rosas looks so spot on and cute 😂 it was a very nice video overall!

I would've have liked it if you included how Hawaii was the first nation to recognize Argentinian independence and how Filipinos under French-Argentine Hypolite Bouchard even assisted in the war of independence.

I know Latin America is huge but if it's not too much to ask may you please make one on Nicaragua 🇳🇮 my small country. Thank you for your videos, love History!

I am not Argentine, but its history really is fascinating along with the US and Mexico. Btw, the US also smuggled a lot of Nazis, it was known as project paper clip. The only reason the Argentine ones are infamous, is because the government didn’t have the same success as the US in developing tech.

Im from Argentina and I love this video, although some facts are dubious in claims, are more romantic and poetic than realistic, this is not a critique at all, (just showing other nuances of history). LIke the Inti sun for example, not so romantic, the founders that choose the Sun was mostly cause they wanted to have leverage from the native population against the spaniards, mostly on the North were the spaniards foothold of the peruvian viceroyalty was the strongest, and where the native "incan" population lived. Second the 1680 settlement is COMICALLY big and developed compare to buenos aires by that time, that was not more than 5 blocks. Also the Mapuche and the "porteños", (people from buenos aires) didn't get into contact at all. The skirmish and warring relations they had was with other tribes of the pampas, and not the mapuches that are a fairly modern tribe of the Andes. (Remember between buenos aires and the andes there are 1000km) . (comments)

Excelet video. One little observation: in pre argentinian period the Patagonia was not inhabitated by mapuches. There was a combination of different original inhabitants that where: theuleches, Theusen, pehuenches, Querandies (in Buenos Aires provonce) and some more. Mapuches are Chilean and they come to invade some times to stole livestock and women but they didn't established in Patagonia. The "conquista del desierto" was not against mapuches. Was against a diverse amount of tribes. Some of them even joins the argentinian confederation and supplied soldiers.

Love Argentina from Turkey

History if Argentina in a nutshell: debt debt debt more debt and a little more of debt

This was pretty cool. My wife came to the US from Argentina in her late 20s and we have gone back numerous times to stay with her family and see different parts of the country. Their hospitality is wonderful.

Despite the whole harboring Nazis thing, I would say that after Italy and Spain, England is the European country that had more influence in modeling Argentina's shape. Pre Perón leaders were big admirers of England, and the whole cattle industry, the railroads networks and plenty of Buenos Aires landmark architecture is greatly inspired by the UK. I honestly don't see much German influence here except for a couple of German founded towns.

Abraços do brasil pra Argentina!!!🇧🇷🤝🇦🇷

Argentina is such an amazing place! Greetings from Argentina

As always, fantastic work.

4:11 I cannot believe you actually took the time to set up the ships right. This is a caravela redonda, 4 masts, two square sails at the front and two latin sails (triangular) at the back. Crazy

Argentina is one of the most curious Latin American countries.

Argentina that’s a very famous brand of corned beef in the Philippines they even have “karne norte “ too

As an Argentine, it's quite a good video. Of course it's mostly superficial and, specially on 20th century history, it could have included a bit more info. But hey it's quite complete and solid. Perhaps going a bit deeper about the figures of Rosas and Perón and the "anti-inperialism" that they stand for could have been good aditions as the imperialism vs anti-inperialism dispute is one of the defining features of Argentina's history.

Very Good!!! Well explained video about Argentina's history. Just a small contribution; the Federal League didn't refuse to attend the Congress, they were forbiden to do so because the oligarchy of Buenos Aires already knew about their idea of a Confederation and will mess their Centralist plan. Then, about the rest, just fantastic! Congratulations!

I noticed immediately when you started talking that your voice sounded different. The new mic works great! Your voice sounds much crisper than before! Thank you for your hard work to put out those videos. They are as superb as ever!

Bro, I love your videos. I'm from Salta. Here was one of the biggest trade centers before Potosí, mostly mules that the silver miners needed. And it was suach a important and strong commerce that in our declaration of independence it has the sign of the representatives from Mizque, Charcas and Chichas; but no from actual Uruguay (because BsAs didn't want them)

Hopefully, one day Argentina will be the great country it once was and where so many Spanish inmigrated. Fuerza Argentina!

I live in Patagonia and we will never forget our lost king. Small children write letters to his descendants in France

As a mexican I loved your vídeo about Mexico, and as a latinoamerican I have to say that this vídeo of Argentina is beautiful, thanks!

I can´t believe the little detail of the "granaderos" drinking fernet before fighting the British. I loved it!

Hey man, amazing work, just wanted to point out that in 5:12 you explain the origin for name Buenos Aires is because of the "good winds" that brought the saliors safely to these lands. Actually, the city was named Trinidad at the time and the port was named Buenos Aires, but this is to honor an "image" of the Virgin Mary called Santa María de los Buenos Aires.

I clicked on this lukewarm of my interest in Argentina, but damn you got me looking up more

Man I remember years ago when I narrated a few of these for you lmao

I'm from Buenos Aires City born and raised and in 20:22 the flag shown is not the flag of the city of Buenos Aires but rather the flag of the Province of Buenos Aires. The flag you're looking for has a black eagle holding the Calatrava cross on a white background which is remiscent of the city's founding coat of arms from Garay. I loved the video by the way, thanks for the great content!

Argentina is very beautiful country and very humble and always smile of the argentinian people LOVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭❤🇦🇷 VAMOS ARGENTINA

Great video , you made our history easy a good looking to watch, and some small details are great ! Thanks. Greetings from Rio Negro , Patagonia Argentina!!

It's not about ego, it's about not being a pushover and still showing might. That's very important when it comes to geopolitics

As an Argentine I've always seen my country's history as less interesting than that of the rest of the world. In high school I wanted to learn about the Roman Empire, the big revolutions in Europe and ww1, ww2 and the cold War. And while I did learn about those things for a very long time the focus was on our own history, which makes sense, but it wasn't even the "interesting part" of our history, which for me has always been the revolution, it was 20th century bullshit. I stayed in that mentality for. Along time and now I want to know more,i feel like I should know my own history better and these sort of videos with neat graphics and clear explanations always deepens my interest and love for my culture and history. And it's always nice to see these things in English as it carries my culture and history to places that might have never heard about it. Thank you very much :) A few notes: While, yes, the sun in our flag is that of a God of the Incas I would never say that a significant amount of our population identifies with them. If you say incas in Argentina, most people will think of Peru

There are two anomalies in modern ecomics: Japan and no one knows why its economy keeps growing, Argentina and no one knows why it isnt.

Dang I need to share this with all my German friends

I love that you made one of my country!!!

what blows my mind it's I'm Brazilian and I didn't know a lot of those things. Here in Brazil, which was colonized by the Portuguese, we are (kind) separated from the rest of South America. I hate that. fun fact: besides that, the last state of Brazil to the south, Rio Grande do Sul, it's more culturally connected with Argentina. So much that the official name of who borns in the Rio Grande do Sul is "gaúcho".

What did you use for source for the Malvinas part? The spanish didnt recognise the british claims, the english ended up recognising the spanish ones, the french settled 1 year before the english, Argentina had a colony in Malvinas 1829, etc

Very good video, I studied abroad in Buenos Aires a few years ago and it looks like you hit all the marks I want in an Argentine history video, especially like how you said "Los Argentinos descienden de los barcos." Good job!

I'm argentinan, and most of the war-related history that you glossed over is what we are thought in school. I remember even making a mock trial of Rosas. IIRC, I had to defend him.

There’s anything we’ve learned throughout history is don’t mess with the rocks Britain claims, French pride, American boats, or start a land war in Asia

I'm glad you back, the work fantastic as always, hope see you soon

RU-vid premier blows, I see it in my subscription feed, hit it, get annoyed, do something else, forget about it. Then by the time it's actually available to watch it's been buried by the other ACTUAL videos in my feed.

Argentina was the one of the richiest countries in the world in 1900. In 1913, it was richer than France or Germany, almost twice as prosperous as Spain, and its per capita GDP was almost as high as that of Canada. Peronism social economic policy eroded and weakened the economy into the political instabilty in a long-term. I visited Argentina a few times from 2011 to 2014. At that time, I had the Argentine girlfriend who spoke three languages - Spanish, English and French. 😊

Hey you, angloparlant person, if you are reading this and thinks this video was a bit complicated...remember this. The Argentinean history, without the simplification for all public of this video, is way, way, way, way, way, way, way more complex, chaotic and complicated.

Dude, Argentinians are so awesom... Greetings from Argentina

Finally a new JonTron!

Mira che, van a mostrar como vinieron en barcos desde Europa, había sido era cierto lo que dijo el Alberto

WOW! Amazing video man, i really didn't know that a french guy pretended to form a kingdom of all of Patagonia, LOL. There is a lot of things in this video that they don't teach us here in history class.

Amazing video but you should have gotten at least to 2001 when we had 5 presidents in a week

World cup champions 🏆

Bro its been so long im glad for a new vid

Hey man, Just wanted to say that I really like your videos, they are very informative. Keep up the good work 🙂

Well done on getting 500k subs guys you all deserve it.

Can you do Caribbean Latin countries like Haiti, Puerto Rico, Cuba, or Dominican Republic?

El pueblo apoyó la guerra de Malvinas porque era y es una guerra justa, no por apoyo a la dictadura. Y a diferencia de lo que dice este youtuber, que de historia sabe bastante poco, Gran Bretaña no ganó la guerra fácilmente, de hecho estuvo a punto de perderla (admitido por ellos mismos).

I don't know how the algorithm figured out I needed to watch this, but I'm not complaining! for such a brief review of our history I think it was great. it is always interesting to see how others see us and what they put focus on. for those who became interested in Argentina because of this video, I hope one day you can tour the country. we have a wide variety of climates that make each corner of our land a beautiful place 😊

Fun fact: The Buenos Aires Province flag showed for its factions in this video it was actually created recently, as the Province of Buenos Aires and the federal capital of Buenos Aires have their own regional government, but the province lacked a banner of their own. The city and country capital of Buenos Aires have their own historic flag.

_"La va a tocar para Diego, ahí la tiene Maradona, lo marcan dos, pisa la pelota Maradona, arranca por la derecha el genio del fútbol mundial, deja el tendal y va a tocar para Burruchaga... ¡Siempre Maradona! ¡Genio! ¡Genio! ¡Genio! Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta... ¡¡GOOOOOOOOL!!! ¡¡¡¡GOOOOOL!!!! ¡Quiero llorar! ¡Dios Santo, viva el fútbol! ¡Golaaazooo! ¡Diegoooool! ¡Maradona! Es para llorar, perdónenme... Maradona, en recorrida memorable, en la jugada de todos los tiempos... Barrilete cósmico... ¿De qué planeta viniste para dejar en el camino a tanto inglés, para que el país sea un puño apretado gritando por Argentina? Argentina 2 - Inglaterra 0. Diegol, Diegol, Diego Armando Maradona... Gracias, Dios, por el fútbol, por Maradona, por estas lágrimas, por este Argentina 2-Inglaterra 0"_

Fun fact: the Falklands have no native population. They are all descendents of British settlers. This is one of the reasons the British defended the Falklands

British where defeat twice in Rio de la plata!!! 🇦🇷🤙🇺🇾

im from argentina but i live in hong kong, i speak spanish at home with my parents since they were born and raised in Arg. Although i have a lot of stories that my parents told me, this video was very useful. Thanks!

Why haven't you finished the remakes you made for your former videos?

Como colombiano me gusta mucho este video, mas videos así de la historia de países americanos

You can thank a lady in the background for my click. Argentina is interesting to me having grown up listening to "Evita" when on long trips with my mom. Musicals for the encouragement of learning interesting history!

I love the dramatic history in the making of this country. Like i wish I could have just sit back with some popcorn and watched all that history unfold lol. Argentina was a hot commodity 💁🏼‍♀️

Suibhne is back with another epic vid! I hope to learn more about this unique South American nation.

After 25 years theres a new video (BTW this is a joke don't put my head in a pike)

Great video, will always support you, I don’t know when will the day come but couldn’t wait for the Vietnam episode.

Love from Bangladesh ❤️❤️❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩🇦🇷🇦🇷

These maps with animations suck me in. Thanks for another great episode of animated history.

The history of Morocco would make a great video and I would be honoured to help.
