Today we're going to discuss Italy's unofficial colonies in South America, seeing how Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil have the largest number and percentage of ethnic Italians anywhere in the world outside of Italy itself.

Just how and why do these South American countries have such a huge number of people of Italian ancestry, and in what ways have Italians impacted their culture? Today, we're going to discuss, but feel free to tell me your own theories or reasoning. Thanks for watching!
