MANUEL BELGRANO: su vida, la creación de la bandera y el Éxodo Jujeño | Encuentro

Telling history through the eyes of its heroes is always a good way to approach it: they are personalities and lives that inspire enthusiasm and identification. However, the superhero almost always triumphs over the man. The fantastical prevails over the real, and in that process, the depth and complexity of their lives, as well as their times and historical contexts, are lost. This broader perspective is what we aim to recover with the materials that make up this special feature on Belgrano. 00:00 Why are Belgrano and San Martín the most respected heroes? 02:22 Manuel Belgrano's Origins, Family, and Studies in Spain 03:38 The Consulate of Commerce and its Ideas on Education and the Economy 07:56 Research in the General Archive of the Nation 08:35 The British Invasions and the May Revolution of 1810 10:56 The Creation of the Argentine Flag in Rosario (1812) 12:35 The Origin of the Light Blue and White Colors 14:57 The Jujuy Exodus and the Battles of Tucumán and Salta 17:33 Proposal for an Inca Monarchy and the Congress of Tucumán 19:04 Last Years, Illness, and Death in Poverty (June 20, 1820) 19:49 The Construction of the National Hero and the School Myth 22:38 Belgrano's Hidden Children and Their Direct Descendants 25:22 Conclusion by Gabriel Di Meglio: From Bronze to humankind #canalencuentro #history #argentinianhistory #documentary #manuelbelgrano #June20 #flagday #May25 #jujuyexodus
