Argentina ( / ˌ ɑr dʒ ən ˈ t i n ə /), officially the Argentine Republic (Spanish: República Argentina, pronounced [reˈpuβlika arxenˈtina]), is the second largest country in South America, constituted as a federation of 23 provinces and an autonomous city, Buenos Aires. It is the eighth-largest country in the world by land area and the largest among Spanish-speaking nations, though Mexico, Colombia and Spain are more populous. Argentina's continental area is between the Andes mountain range in the west and the Atlantic Ocean in the east. It borders Paraguay and Bolivia to the north, Brazil and Uruguay to the northeast, and Chile to the west and south. Argentine claims over Antarctica, as well as overlapping claims made by Chile and the United Kingdom, are suspended by the Antarctic Treaty of 1961. Argentina also claims the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas) and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, which are administered by the United Kingdom as British Overseas Territories. Argentina is a founding member of both the United Nations, Mercosur and the Union of South American Nations. Argentina is one of the G-20 major economies. From Wikipedia under the

Can someone explain to me the history process which caused Argentina to have several italian Last Names and sound identically like Italians trying to speak Spanish? I mean, there must have been a relationship between these two countries for those things to happen. Any webpage links will do. Thanks in advance! Asked by Kevin Corpetti - Sat Apr 10 08:58:07 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's named "Italian diaspora", i.e. "emigration from Italy". Until 1970, a lot of Italians emigrated to several countries. There were even more Italians that went to Brazil, but Argentina is the country in the world that has the highest percentage of Italian immigrants, with respect to its population.

Hi I am a New Zealand student, who has studied spanish for five years, and travelled to Argentina once. I am fluent in English and considerable at Spanish. I would like to do a GAP year in Argentina teaching English. How difficult is it to achieve this? I have very good marks in English, and am a prefect at school. Asked by Rusty S - Wed Mar 17 06:07:51 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. In general you'll need a degree and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate to get a visa and work. You may be able to find work without these but you'll need to be there in person to do this - ideally in a big city like Buenos Aires. I've not heard of gap year organisations in Argentina though, sorry. Answered by ICAL - Wed Mar 17 06:29:46 2010 What is Argentina next step to get possession of Falkland Islands Oil?

They have ask the other Latin American countries for support. They have ask the United Nations for support. They have ask the United States for support. What is next ? Are they going to ask OPEC for support ? How desperate are they becoming ? How close is Argentina to ' Pulling The Trigger ? Asked by Oldrailroader - Mon Mar 1 22:56:22 2010 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you are Argentina, you you have to ask yourself "Do You Feel Lucky?" Because the last time Argentina "pulled the trigger", they got spanked - hard And that was just over principle This time, as you say - there are potentially billions of barrels of oil at stake. The chances of Argentina getting one centavo of that revenue, diplomatically or by force, since they unilaterally declared the revenue sharing agreement "null and void" is about the same as a snowball in Satan's Domain In other words - NONE Answered by johntrottier - Mon Mar 1 23:17:39 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Argentina"  theopenpress.com Wed, 28 Jul 2010 04:06:44 GMT+00:00 Adventure Tours Announced By SayHueque Argentina Tour Company The Open Press (press release) Buenos Aires, Argentina (OPENPRESS) July 28, 2010 -- Today SayHueque.com have announced two new Argentina Adventure tours for the 2010 season. ...  bbc.co.uk Fri, 16 Jul 2010 08:20:52 GMT+00:00 BBC News Mexico City has offered a free honeymoon to the first gay couple to marry in Argentina under a new law.
