As with other areas of new settlement such as Canada, Australia, and the United States, Argentina is considered a country of immigrants.[184][185][186] Most Argentines are descended colonial-era settlers, and 19th and 20th century immigrants from Europe.[187][188] During the 18th and 19th centuries especially, Argentina was second only to the US in the numbers of European immigrants received and, at those times, the national population doubled every two decades. The majority of these European immigrants came from Italy and Spain,[189] and 86.4% of Argentina's population self-identify as being of European descent. An estimated 8% of the population is Mestizo and 4% of Argentines are of Arab or Asian heritage.[188][
