History of the national flag

The Argentinian standard was conceived by General Belgrano, at the place where today is located the city of Rosario. He got the inspiration while he was staring at the sky, just before a battle, at the shores of the Paraná.

Pre 1941 state flag

[1897 Argentine war flag]
by António Martins and Pierre Pallac, 25 Sep 1998

In Meyers Konversations-Lexikon [mkl97], there is a plate with flags of the states, and accompanying it a list with descriptions of flags (in German): «Republic of Argentina: Blue-white-blue horizontal. The white has a golden sun in first third of the white stripe.»
Zeljko Heimer, 1996-09-16

1913: In the state ensign the sun is only as tall as the white stripe, and it is closer to the hoist.
1941: Same as today.
