The cockade was first used by the ladies of [[Buenos Aires]] during the events of the 1810 [[May Revolution]]. On February 18, 1812, the government decided to create the national cockade of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata with light blue at its outer border and centre, and white between both. Belgrano then used the same colours to design the national flag. |
