Do you know the history of Argentina? In 1816, this country declared its independence. We celebrate it on the ninth of July. For many years, Argentinians were not free. In a city called Tucumán, many men met together. They talked for many hours. They fought for the freedom of their homeland. Of course, it was not easy. A brave general named San Martín also helped. Finally, Argentina achieved its independence. Today we still celebrate that special day. Now you understand our history.

I'll be right with you...
