      Yeah - Argentina was never colonised. They just natively look (mostly) quite European and speak Spanish.

        They natively look and speak Spanish lmaoooo.

        When they celebrate their independence day I guess they really mean independant of will and strength of character not independence from Spanish crown.

          Argentina celebrates a colony becoming a country, just like the US does. It does not celebrate the exiting of a conquering race and the return to pre-colonial conditions and territories. There is a fundamental difference.

              Here’s an “/s” to put at the end of my first comment - I honestly didn’t think of the need to be so explicit that I was taking the piss with those sentences.

                Yeah ok, my bad for missing that one. I’ve just met too many Argentinians who claimed they are better than their neighbors and their reasoning was very close to what you wrote.
