Fernandito
''Fernet con coca'' ( or , "Fernet and Coke"), also known as fernando, its diminutive fernandito (), or several other nicknames, is a long drink of Argentine origin consisting of the Italian '' amaro'' liqueur fernet and cola, served over ice. Although typically made with Fernet-Branca and Coca-Cola, several ''amaro'' brands have appeared in Argentina since its popularization, as well as ready-to-drink versions. The cocktail first became popular among the youth of the college town of Córdoba, in the 1980s and—impulsed by an advertising campaign led by Fratelli Branca—its consumption grew in popularity during the following decades to become widespread throughout the country, surpassed only by that of beer and wine. It is now considered a cultural icon of Argentina and is especially associated with its home province of Córdoba, where the drink is most consumed. The popularity of ''fernet con coca'' is such that Argentina consumes more than 75% of all fernet produced globa ...

College Town
A college town or university town is a community (often a separate town or city, but in some cases a town/city neighborhood or a district) that is dominated by its university population. The university may be large, or there may be several smaller institutions such as liberal arts colleges clustered, or the residential population may be small, but college towns in all cases are so dubbed because the presence of the educational institution(s) pervades economic and social life. Many local residents may be employed by the university—which may be the largest employer in the community—many businesses cater primarily to the university, and the student population may outnumber the local population. Description In Europe, a university town is generally characterised by having an ancient university. The economy of the city is closely related with the university activity and highly supported by the entire university structure, which may include university hospitals and clini ...

Argentine History
The history of Argentina can be divided into four main parts: the pre-Columbian time or early history (up to the sixteenth century), the colonial period (1536–1809), the period of nation-building (1810–1880), and the history of modern Argentina (from around 1880). Prehistory in the present territory of Argentina began with the first human settlements on the southern tip of Patagonia around 13,000 years ago. Written history began with the arrival of Spanish chroniclers in the expedition of Juan Díaz de Solís in 1516 to the Río de la Plata, which marks the beginning of Spanish occupation of this region. In 1776 the Spanish Crown established the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, an umbrella of territories from which, with the Revolution of May 1810, began a process of gradual formation of several independent states, including one called the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata. With the declaration of independence on 9 July 1816, and the military defeat of the Spa ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Great European Immigration Wave To Argentina
The great European immigration wave to Argentina took place in the late 19th and early 20th century. It consisted mostly of Italian and Spanish immigrants, along with other nationalities such as French, Slavs (especially Ukrainians, Poles, Russians and Croatians), Germans (many of whom were registered with other nationalities upon arrival in the country, for example as Russians, since most of them were ethnic Germans from different parts of Europe)Swedish, Danish and Welsh, among others, including Jews. During this period Argentina saw a huge increase in population. Some groups of European immigrants modified the politics of Argentina by introducing political movements from their source countries, such as labor unionism, anarchism and socialism. Causes Before the immigration, Argentina was sparsely populated. The Spanish colonization of the Americas favored Mexico and Peru, the southern Spanish regions had no sources of wealth and had lower populations. This population ...

Argentina Centennial
The Argentina Centennial was celebrated on May 25, 1910. It was the 100th anniversary of the May Revolution, when viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros was ousted from office and replaced with the Primera Junta, the first national government. Context The year of 1910 was considered quite positive for Argentina, when the last century was seen in retrospective.

Allegorical Representations Of Argentina
There are various allegorical representations of Argentina or associated in any way with Argentina. There is not, however, a national personification with its own name, like Marianne from France, or Hispania from Spain, but sculptures and engravings representing liberty, republic, motherland or other concepts that have been used officially by the Argentine state. Sculptures Despite the absence of a character with fixed traits, the allegory of Argentina is usually a female figure dressed in robes and wearing a Phrygian cap, which also appears on the Argentine coat of arms. Figures such as these appear in dozens of engravings, reliefs, plaques, paintings, memorials and sculptures. Some of the memorials that include an allegorical representation of Argentina are the "Monumento Nacional a la Bandera" in Rosario, the '' "Monumento de los Españoles"'' in Palermo, the ''"Monumento al Guardacostas"'' in Puerto Madero, the ''"Monumento a la Gesta de Malvinas"'' in Quequén and th ...
