Why are there no blacks in Argentina?

In our impression, people in South American countries are generally mixed-race or black. However, when we look at pictures about Argentina, we can always find that the vast majority of Argentines are white. Then, why are whites in Argentina the majority in the same American countries? Today, Lao Wei will show you the story behind it.

In fact, there are no blacks in America. After the great voyage, America was discovered by the west. Later, western invaders attacked Native Americans continuously, resulting in a sharp decline in the population of Native Americans. In order to meet the demand of large plantations and mines for labor, western colonists thought of carrying out slave trade and transporting African blacks to the United States for labor. At that time, the focus of slave trade was Brazil and its northern region.

During the 400-year slave trade, western colonists always introduced150,000 blacks to America. Among them, Brazil introduced 3.675 million and Argentina introduced 654.38+million. It can be seen that there were very few blacks in Argentina at that time. Many blacks were forced to join the army in Argentina's later war of independence and foreign wars, so the number of blacks who survived was very small.

Moreover, Argentina is located in the south of Brazil plain, with good climate, which is very suitable for developing agriculture and animal husbandry. So many Spanish or Italian refugees who can't survive in China will come to settle in Argentina. As time goes by, all ethnic groups will merge with each other, and Argentina will soon be whitened.

Therefore, until now, the number of African-Americans in Argentina is still very scarce. According to the Argentine census in 20 10, the population of African descent only accounts for 0.37% of the total population of Argentina. At the same time, many Argentine scholars have suggested that a large part of the existing Argentine genes come from Spain or Italy, so Argentina is actually a white race.

Therefore, South America, Argentina, neighboring Chile, parts of southern Brazil and Uruguay are all similar, belonging to areas where Europeanization is very obvious and Indian culture is very rare.
