National Sovereignty Day

National Sovereignty Day in Argentina is celebrated on November 20 to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Vuelta de Obligado. This fight represents a defining moment in the country’s history when their outnumbered army challenged the mighty Anglo-French navy battalion. The day is the celebration of Argentine bravery and the legend of Juan Manual De Rosas, who signed a treaty in the aftermath of the war, recognizing the nation’s jurisdiction within its own territory. Today, we commemorate this brave fight and reflect on the importance of independence, respect, and autonomy.
