[[Argentina]] was very generous in helping France, whose farming and distribution systems has been severely crippled by the war. Large shipments of grain and beef arrived from Argentina to feed the population struggling to get their fields and lifestock back in offer. In appreciation of that generosity, the French government changed the name of rue Obligado to "rue Argentine" in 1948. It was a fitting tribute since rue Obligado had celebrated a French-English victory in Argentina in 1845. Now the street evoked friendship between the two countries, not military dominance. The Métro station takes its name from the street. <gallery> Image:Metro-Paris-Ligne-1-station Argentine 01.jpg Image:Metro-Paris-Ligne-1-station Argentine 02.jpg </gallery> {{Paris Metro/line 1}} [[Category:Métro stations in Paris 17e]] {{Paris-metro-stub}} [[es:Estación de Argentine]] [[fr:Argentine (métro de Paris)]] [[lb:Argentine (Paräisser Métro)]] [[nl:Argentine (metrostation)]] [[no:Argentine (Paris Metro)]] [[pl:Argentine (metro w Paryżu)]]
