Not just "La Plata", but "Argentina" also means "Silver".

The hats are called Phrygian caps and they're a symbol of liberty (especially since the French Revolution). If you look at the flag of West Virginia, you see the day the Hatfields and the McCoys put aside their differences to brutally murder their common enemy Papa Smurf with crude farm implements.

Drew: This is basically France's Vietnam right there

Vietnam being France's Vietnam: Well yes but actually no

[HF-AD]

I think something that wasn't well explained in the Argentina vid is that because the colonists drove out the brits by themselves they realised they didn't need the Spanish for defense

Interesting factoid: handsome was originally a compliment for a horse- being many hands tall was being handsome, and thus, being a majestic unit. People who knew little about horses picked up this terminology as a favourable compliment of appearance. People who did know something about horses went along with it and enjoyed being able to call Phillip horse-faced without being executed for treason.

16:40 Well... the civil wars never really ended, we just traded the weapons for words 😁😁

[lucaa]

As an Argentinian the video was pretty accurate, would have loved to see a little more about the 80/90/00s like the hyperinflation, the 1 a 1 and the corralito. Either way really good video

[jackin_it]

I would gladly let Bulgarian Countryballs teach me World history if it was an actual class in school.

[Tumper]

As Argentinian im proud to see Drew check this well done video about the history of my Country.

[tadesubaru]

As a spaniard i must say. We don't get taught any of this in school lol. especially the war of independence part, we were dealing with our own war of independence and depressed artists movement

[chit_guy]

brazil has almost always had good diplomatic relations with argentina, the soccer that separetes everyone.

Day 20 -Petition for Drew to make a Chad ball and a Romania ball duo

[mauroguerrero]

Nice vid!
I'm argentinian and in school we're taught basically the first 50 years since independence are called "anarchy period"( there where no centralized power instead there where a bunch of porvinces loosely together controlled by regional warlords).
About the Falklands in the isles argentinian infantry consisted basically of conscripts of 20 years or so (My father was 19 when he fought the british).

[twinsen]

Good on Countryballs for actually portraying the General Belgrano being sunk *outside* the exclusion zone

[laranjo]

Hey Drew, there is a video about the History of Brazil too, is called "A História do Brasil em contryballs"

[Matideka]

Chile helped the british during the war. That is a big reason to the Argentinian-Chilean hatred

[sebastianmalpica]

To make the falklands/malvinas problem easier to understand:
-Spain had a claim over the islands due to some treaties that were recognized as valid by many countries including UK.
-UK had a claim over the LEFT island even when they recognized boths as spanish property.
-france reached and colonized the RIGHT side of the islands one year before UK came claiming the left side.
-spain kicked out from the islands boths the french and the british from the islands but the british secretly swore to take them back in the future.
-argentina inherits boths the LEFT & RIGHT islands from spain when it became independant.
-argentina wrote laws for the islands and put in charge a governor, things that the UK never opposed nor protested against but british people in their history books never talks about nor even want to admit that there was an argentine governor there.
-the authorities of the islands arrest some american seal hunters for illegally hunting in the islands.
-U.S attacks the islands due to the argentine government not releasing the arrested american mens and leaves the islands unprotected and without means to fight back in case of invasion.
- U.K upon seeing argentina in middle of civil wars, wars against indigenous tribes and wars against british invasions seizes the opportunity to invade the islands not only taking the LEFT side but also they take the RIGHT side of the island to which they never had any claim before nor valid excuse to take it.
- U.K kicks out the argentine authorities and people from the islands the same way they did to the chagos islanders or in the 50s against the argentines and chileans in antarctica which almost ends up in a war.
- argentina makes claims to get the islands back since the year the invasion took place until 1982 due to a law of the U.N where if you are in control of a piece of land for 150 years uninterrupted you legally became the legal owner and in 1983 it would have been 150 years exactly, argentina being cornered and seeing u.k not wanting to give the islands back peacefully is forced to invade the islands.
-argentina loses the war but managed to be in control of the islands for 5 months reseting the clock and ruining any chances for u.k to legally have full control of the islands.

[doortohell]

at this point drew needs to have a purple argentinian flag in his background. i mean look at that beautiful flag

[ramaaba]

Its a shame that chile, after we helped them independize from Spain, supported the brittish in the Malvinas War, that and the dispute for territory on the south of America are big reasons we don't like each other

[Trixzinho]

haha, i was expecting something after the video, like a post-credits with argentines cursing all the others south americans in an in-game chat, or something like that

[byxpyzq]

4:44 "this is basically the Frances Vietnam" bro France had Vietnam at one point (edit) wow tysm for 9 likes
