Argentina - Argentine Army Day
Argentine Army Day is celebrated on May 29. The holiday commemorates the official foundation of the Argentine Army in 1810, four days after the overthrow of the Spanish colonial administration in the city of Buenos Aires.
The Argentine Army was formed out of several locally manned regiments and colonial militia units. The most famous regiment probably is the Infantry Regiment “Los Patricios”, the largest and most powerful unit that participated in the defense of Buenos Aires during the British invasion of the Río de la Plata in 1806–1807. By the way, it is still an active unit.
