[3] The wave of Danish immigration to Argentina was the third largest in the world, behind those in the United States and Australia,[4] making it one of the largest Danish communities in the world.

Danish immigrants needed to organise their own mini societies where they could be able to preserve and to speak their own language, maintaining the familiar traditions and develop a network in the form of churches, schools, newspapers and so on.

Most Danes worked as farmers and quickly became part of the Argentine labour market, but full cultural integration was possible after several generations later.

Through a close-knit personal networks and institutions such as churches, schools, clubs and other associations, they retained their Danish identity and so their descendants who still to this day can be found in Argentina.

They settled in the province of Buenos Aires mainly in Tandil, Necochea, Tres Arroyos, and in the Obera region part of the provinces of the Argentine Mesopotamia commonly called "El Litoral".
