San_Miguel98 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Born in Buenos Aires on June 3, 1770, General Manuel Belgrano is one of the founders of the Argentine Republic. Although he was not always victorious, his efforts saved the patriot cause at several crucial times. In 1812, he created the national flag of Argentina. It was raised for the first time on February 27 of that year, in an island in the Paraná River opposite the city of Rosario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
