Why do Argentina people look different from the rest of the other South American people? |
Travel Info I have noticed that Argentina citizens are very white as compared to the rest of the other South American countries. Why do they look so different from their neighboring countries ? Travel Tips Unlike most of its neighbouring countries, Argentina's population descends mostly from Europeans. Most of the population is made up of descendants of Spanish, Italian and other European settlers. After the inital Spanish colonists, waves of immigrants from European countries arrived in Argentina throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Contributors include France (mostly to Buenos Aires), Scandinavia (especially Sweden), the United Kingdom and Ireland (Buenos Aires and Patagonia), and Eastern European nations such as Poland, Russia, Ukraine, as well as Balkan nations (especially Croatia, Romania and Serbia). The Patagonian Chubut Valley has a significant Welsh-descended population. The majority of Argentina's Jewish community (the largest in Latin America and the fifth-largest in the world) also derives from immigrants of Northern and Eastern European origin鈥擜shkenazi Jews. The largest ethnic minority is the mestizo population in the northern provinces. Since population censuses in Argentina do not take into account mixed-race people as non-white, it is difficult to determine their real size. Estimates range from 3% to 15%, the latter figure being the most credited. Source(s): Selection from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/argentina#d... Other Travel Tips here's a very elementary reason. a lot of war criminals(Nazi) from Western Europe had to 'leave' their home countries after WWII and many went to Argentina and Brazil. some Argentinans are mainly from Italian descent. They are descendants from Italians, Germans, a European people. Because Argentine people are a people of immigrants, mainly from Europe, with low percentage of indigen. While the population of the other South American countries is majority indigen. PS : most of the people have come to Argentina for work, it was a wealthy country some time ago... not because they were Nazi ! and of course, the exceptions confirm the rule... beacose is very cosmopolitan butch cassidy say so menguele too |
