Manuel José Joaquín del Corazón de Jesús Belgrano died in 1820, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of San Telmo. The lawyer, diplomat and soldier was the creator of the Argentine flag, promoter of the May Revolution of 1810 and hero of the War of Independence of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata.
Manuel Belgrano
Belgrano created the light blue and white flag in the heat of the independence struggle once morest Spanish colonialism, adopting a symbol that differentiated them from the enemy on the battlefield, the same one that began to go down in history as the banner of a new identity in the region. that later will be the Argentine Nation.
In that convulsed period of the fight once morest the Spanish, which at the same time was crossed by strong internal disputes, Belgrano received the order to assume the leadership of the Army of Upper Peru, replacing Martín de Pueyrredón, for which he had to leave for the north, where the combat became difficult and bloody.
Meanwhile, Belgrano, who was in Rosario, from where he would leave for the north, wrote to the Triumvirate “proposing the creation of a cockade that would unify the troops in combat” and stressed that “it really is absurd to fight with the same flag of our enemy”, highlights the historian Jorge Perrone when reproducing the part in the “Diario de la Historia Argentina”.
The government agreed and by decree established that “it is the national cockade of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, white and light blue.” A few days later, Belgrano decided to create the flag as the insignia that would fly among the pro-independence soldiers, the one that he raised over the Paraná at the beginning of March of that year, for the first time, before which they swore to “defeat internal and external enemies, and South America will be the temple of independence and freedom”.

However, the creation of the flag did not suffer the same fate as the cockade. When the news of its creation and hoisting reached Buenos Aires, the Triumvirate was alarmed by ordering “to hide the light blue and white” and sending it, “assuming it does not have”, a Spanish flag.
But, Belgrano did not immediately find out regarding the order that the government gave him to hide the flag, because he continued his march towards the north, and on May 25 he raised it once more in Jujuy during the celebration of the second anniversary of the deed of May. Four days later, Belgrano himself, proud, notified Buenos Aires of the celebration.
Blessing of the flag
On June 27, the Triumvirate once once more asked him to keep the flag and reproached him for disobedience, and Belgrano, who had not found out regarding that decision, responded twenty days later by accepting the order while telling his troops that the insignia would be kept. for the day of a great victory.
Finally, on July 25, 1816, and following the declaration of Independence, the Congress of Tucumán ordered by decree to adopt as a distinctive of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, “the light blue and white flag that has been used up to the present ”, the one created four years earlier by Belgrano.
