	Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Argentia is a community on the island of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
		Argentia was selected in 1940 to be the location of a United States Navy base being built under the U.S.-British lend-lease program which saw American warships loaned to Britain in exchange for selected British military bases (or land for new bases) in the Western Hemisphere.
		Argentia would prove to be a very important base in the US war effort; by 1943 with the U.S. fully involved in the Second World War, Argentia saw upwards of 10,000 U.S. personnel passing through on the way to the European Theatre.
