I'm Canadian, but can I try? You are in South America, touch the Pacific Ocean, and share a long border with Chile. Your flag is blue and white horizontal stripes. You are famous for bolas, polo, your horses and gaucho riders. You have a great national soccer team, and Diego Maradona came from Argentina. The principal language is Spanish and the main religion is Roman Catholic. Argentina fought a short war with the United Kingdom in the 1980's over the Falkland Islands. That was from memory, not Googled , so please forgive any mistakes...a long and proud history!

I didn't know much about Argentina, but thanks to your question, now I know a little bit that I read at Wikipedia.com. Thanks!

It is bordered by Paraguay and Bolivia in the north, Brazil and Uruguay in the northeast, and Chile in the west and south. The country claims the British controlled territories of the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas) and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. Under the name of Argentine Antarctica, it claims 969,464 km² (374,312 sq mi) of Antarctica, overlapping other claims made by Chile and the United Kingdom.
The country is formally called the Argentine Republic (Spanish: República Argentina, IPA [reËpuβlika aɾxenËtina]). For many legal purposes, Nación Argentina (Argentine Nation) is used.

It's a fairly large country at the southern end of South America. Buenos Aires is the captial and the people speak Spanish. That's about the extent of my knowledge.
