The name Argentina comes from the Latin "argentums-argento" and was first used in 1536 on the maps of Venetian sailors. The official name of the county became the Republic of Argentina in 1860. The flag of Argentina symbolizes a clear blue sky and the sun in the center symbolizes freedom. Nomadic tribes lived in Argentina before the arrival of the Spanish, these tribes were scattered everywhere over the country. The tribes were the traditional hunters, although some settled and began growing crops such as corn. The Spanish then entered in 1536, first encountering the tribes during their search for gold and silver. After this first meeting the Spaniard returned to Paraguay. In 1580 the Spanish returned and founded Buenos Aires. In 1776 Buenos Aires was announced as the new capital of Argentina. Although the Spanish had control over the area, trade restrictions imposed on the local population led to a revolt that ended with the declaration of independence in 1816. As Argentina developed, conflict between the capital and the provinces also grew. Those in the capital came to be known as the “Unitarians” while those outside the capital were known as the “Federalists.” A civil war began which was a bloody and very ugly time in Argentina's history. In 1829 Juan Manuel de Rosas came to power. A federalist who in fact applied his unitarian principles. He centralized control of the nation from Buenos Aires. Despite the return of stability to Argentina, the country has paid a high price. The country was closed by a strong army and secret police. In 1852 Rosas was removed from power. The next phase in Argentina's history can be seen as the foundation of modern Argentina.
