Argentina: its flag

Sky blue and white take the colours of the cockades worn during the May Revolution of 1810 against Spain, though it’s unclear whether they echoed the sky over Buenos Aires or the House of Bourbon.

The Sun of May, added in 1818, is said to recall a solar phenomenon seen during a demonstration in the revolution; it also appears on Uruguay’s flag.
