Hello Chantal, Thank you for your response regarding Jewish emigration to Uganda and Argentina. I shall not comment on Uganda as I am not particularly acquainted with what happened there. As for Argentina, it is not possible for Jews to have fled there in the 16th century just because Argentina did not exist then. They may have fled to the "New World". There was Spanish colonization during the 16th century but the Spanish Viceroyalty of the River Plate was not instituted till 1776. The Republic of Argentina or the Argentine Republic (Argentina for short) succeeded the Viceroyalty following the May Revolution of 1810. Argentina declared its independence on 9 July 1816. By the way, Britain tried to invade Buenos Aires twice, once in 1806 and then in 1807 but neither were successful. These were part of the Napoleonic Wars when Spain was a French ally. The immigration to Argentina consisted mainly of Spanish, Italians, some Russians and French. Religion was not an important aspect though. And Argentina did not have an open-door immigration policy then, it had none as immigration policy was not implemented till 1915-ish. |
