That small patch is bigger than Germany. 🤣

Yes, you are right. I only had Cfb (Temperate oceanic) in mind, which is indeed quite small. But there is also a lot bigger area covered by Cfa (Humid subtropical). And both together are indeed more than twice as large as Germany.

Yes, absolutely. In the second census (1895), 25% of the population was immigrants, mainly Spanish and Italian, but from other parts of Europe as well. Argentina is a large country with a lot of different landscapes, weather, etc. and back then it was promising. Also immigrants were not looking for a perfect place, just a place to raise their families with better conditions than the ones they had in Europe at the time
