Answer 2

Hmmmnn...... let's see.  Colombia is named after Christopher Colombus, who discovered it.

It used to be part of a much larger state that encompassed Ecuador, some of Peru and Venezuela as well, it was named Gran Colombia by Simon Bolivar.

It's falg colors are the patriotic symbol of Latin America.

That's all I can think of that's rly good right now....

Answer 3

Argentina was named after the Latin word for silver. This is because South America is chock full of silver, and the Spanish made a lot of profit off of it.

So, if you ever wondered why Ag is the symbol for silver on the periodic table, just remember Argentina!

-----------------------------------

Also, Argentina used to be a very wealthy nation, comprised of a lot of European immigrants who wanted to set themselves apart as a new nation. There used to be a saying in Paris "to be as wealthy as an Argentine."

Answer 4

What kind of fact? Give me an example and maybe I can come up with something.

Edit:

Ok so you never gave me an example but this is what I thought of.  Colombia has done much in the past couple decades to cut down on polution and traffic. They made green spaces and Bicycle only days. They have a new bus system called Transmilenio.

Here is a page with a littel info on the green spaces ect.

Anyway I think it is interesting.

Can you imagine NYC shutting down all roads so that only pedestrians and cyclists could enjoy tem every sunday or rush hour?

Answer 5

That Ecuador and Venezuelan governments aid and abet Las Farc. And that Manuel Marulanda is a flaming homosexual. That's why he predominately kidnaps men.
