Argentina has the largest Czech community in Latin America. Czechs settled mainly in Buenos Aires, Gran La Plata, Rosario and Chaco, Today they are 300,000 of czech descent .[1]

Immigration Waves

There are four waves Czech immigration periods to Argentina recognized as substantial. The first was slightly before World War 1, the second from 1920 to 1930, the third during World War II and the fourth, the smallest in proportion, during 1990 (after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe). During the first two periods, the immigration group was mainly made up of workers and farmers motivated by economic reasons. During the third period, Czech political exiles arrived, fled mainly due to the Nazi encroachment in Central Europe. The smallest fourth immigration period is formed by different social classes and their immigration reasons are related to economic reasons and personal interests.

The largest community of Czech descendants in Argentina is found in the city of Saénz Peña, province of Chaco. According to research, its origins date back to 1913, with the arrival of immigrants Juan Novotny and Pedro Šašvata to the city.[2][3] Over the decades, the Czech community founded a cooperative, two sports clubs and other associations in which you can still learn Czech and typical dances.[4]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
