Independentist flags in La Plata region (Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay: 1810-1840)

Editorial note: Find below links to independentist flags from the early 19th century used in the region of La Plata, which played a major role in the flag history of three independent countries which later arose in that area: Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. By all means, these are not the only relevant pre-independence flags of these countries, but are those whose effect straddles across nowdays’ borders. (Find other local historical flags also linked bellow.)

Belgrano’s flag: Horizontal tricolor blue / white / blue. Created in 1812 in Rosario (curr. in Santa Fe, Argentina), based on a pattern used by independentists since 1810. Originated the current argentine national flag (which in turn inspired many argentine provincial flags) and, thru Louis Aury, is the ancestor of almost all central american national flags.
Flag of the Federal League, a.k.a. Artigas’ flag: Horizontal tricolor blue / white / blue with red slash. Created in 1814, based on Belgrano’s flag. Used by Artigas’ Confederación de Pueblos Libres (eastern bank of La Plata: Uruguay and northeastern Argentina). Adopted as provincial flag of Entre Ríos (Argentina) and as uruguayan naval jack earlier in the 20th century.
Alternate Artigas’ flag, a.k.a. Guacaray/Andresito’s flag, Otorgués’ flag, etc.: Horizontal tricolor red / blue / white. Used locally under Artigas’ Confederación de Pueblos Libres in 1815 at least in Misiones (curr. in Argentina) and Montevideo (curr. in Uruguay). Inspired the current provincial flag of Misiones (Argentina) and the party flag of Frente Amplio (Uruguay).
33 Orientales flag: Horizontal tricolor horizontal blue / white / red with "Libertad o Muerte" on the white stripe.

The real origin of all these flags (as also its very design) is severely obfuscated bt myth and legend, in spite of (or maybe because of) it’s relative modernness and high popularity. Even the synopsis above may contain many mistakes.
