What happened and why we celebrate independence on July 9?

On July 9, the Argentines commemorate national independence but it really is worth asking. What happened on that date? We are going to make some history, in 1816, July 9, representatives of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata meet in an event known as the Tucumán Congress.

That is the antecedent of the name of our nation at that time, which just peeked to his life, the name of Argentina or Argentine Republic, just takes unified form in 1860. However, that day is taken as the day of independence because there was an open manifesto direct and public of total break with the Spanish empire.

Although the Creole or National Identity begins from the May Revolution of 1810 what was a kind of first revolution or first act of Creole rebellion against Spanish domination. It can be said that the corollary of the entire independence process occurs in 1816, then the history takes place in bloody internal struggles between unitary and federals that would be settled in the historic battle of Caseros in which the national intestine struggle is finally placed on the national intestine struggle, the Constitution of 1853 illuminates a new political order for the Argentine nation with a mother law, the law of all laws the Constitution of the Constitution of the National Constitution in the National Constitution. of North America, a liberal constitution with a Republican and Federal Representative State, and which contains three parts: a preamble, a dogmatic part and an organic part, that is, it has a presentation statement has a dogma core or ideology and values ​​and has a huge chapter referring to the National State Organization, the provinces, municipalities and powers different from the state divided and clearly delimited. And since we talk about independence a little more about the origin of the name of our nation.

The name “Argentine Republic” was formalized as the official denomination of the country in 1860, when President Santiago Derqui decreed that it would be used for all administrative acts. Although the name “Argentina” was already used before, even in literary and cartographic works, it was this year that its official use was unified to refer to the country. A process similar to the one with the National Escarapela and the flag itself created by the great glorious Manuel Belgrano.

It is true that the celebration of July 9 is a celebration that must fill us with pride because it means another mile Moreno who was sent to a mission to Europe and in full trip on the ship mysteriously ends up dead and his body thrown into the sea is today that no one can explain why this Argentine pro -man ended the way it ended.

Beyond all this historical milestone, the great Congress of the House of Tucumán brings with it a date that is worth weighing a day like today was the independent homeland of the homeland free of Spanish oppression the free homeland of the Empire and the Korajuda homeland that through its representatives and deputies of each of the provinces could say and shout to the world freedom. And as the great French writer Paul Eluard says “thanks to a word I return to live again to meet you to name you freedom.”
