One thing to note when looking at the Argentine football team is that you usually don’t find any black footballers. Maradona, Messi, Higuain, Aguero, Di Maria, Dibala are almost all white. It is not a problem to have black and white players in a team. There are many teams, almost all of whose players are black, there are many teams whose almost all players are white. However, there is a tragic history behind the dominance of whites in Argentina. Initiatives were taken to fill this country with white people. Which resulted in the loss of large numbers of black people from Argentina; They are 'lost'.
The Atlantic slave trade runs in Argentina as well as in Brazil. Slaves were brought to Argentina for agriculture in the late 18th century. Pedro Gomez Reinel, a Portuguese Adam merchant, contracted to bring in 600 slaves a year. Since then, people have been kidnapped from Africa and brought to Argentina. Independent people are sold as slaves to their masters. The master used them to do farming and household chores. In 300 years, some 200,000 slaves were taken to Argentina.

Many of the places in Africa from which slaves were taken were inhabited by Muslims. In Brazil, as in Brazil, African Muslims are trafficked as slaves. By the end of the eighteenth century (180-90), blacks made up about half of Argentina's population; Who were brought from Africa. In the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, the percentage was 30-40%. Currently, 96% of Argentina's population is white. So where did the 50 percent of black people in Argentina, about 250 years ago, go? How did their number go down from 50% to 3%? In 1812, slavery was banned in Argentina. In 1813, The Free Womb Act was enacted to gradually abolish slavery. Slavery officially ended in 1853; Although slavery was practiced in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, until 181.
Those who had been enslaved for so long were now released. Those whose grandfathers or grandfathers were once brought to Argentina as slaves, those who saw after birth that they were born in a slave house, now became independent. Was it independent? Just as Hitler began the extermination of Jews in Germany, so did the extermination of blacks in Argentina. Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, an Argentine intellectual and writer, was President of Argentina from 17-184. He was a White Supremacist. He took the initiative to make Argentina 'black people free'. He forced blacks to join the army. Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, formerly known as the ‘War of the Triple Alliance’, are embroiled in war Against Paraguay. Most of the soldiers in the Argentine war camps were blacks in Africa. Thousands of blacks died in that war. Domingo Faustino Sarmiento forced blacks in Africa to settle in remote areas. As a result, if yellow fever and cholera appear in those places, the people there die. Not only that. To liberate Argentina, blacks were imprisoned for long periods for petty crimes, slandered, and executed.
On the one hand, there was a project to liberate Argentina from blacks, on the other hand, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento called on white people in Europe to come and settle in Argentina. About 4 million people from Europe migrated to Argentina at different times at the urging of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento to make it a country of white people. 4 million white European immigrants make Argentina their homeland. They are given facilities by the state. Thus, 250 years ago, the proportion of black and white people in the country was almost equal, 250 years later it stands at 98: 3. Argentina became a country of white people.
