This Doodle’s Key Themes
Happy 9 de julio, Argentina!
Today is Argentina's Independence Day, which is celebrated every year on July 9th. 200 years ago, Argentina signed a Declaration of Independence from the Spanish monarchy, and a pact to enter into nationhood as one people, regardless of origin. Today's Doodle depicts the escarapela, a symbol of Argentine pride. Today, Argentines around the world will proudly sport this ribbon in the colors of the Argentine flag and in celebration of their nation.
