Falkland Islands Dispute, British and Argentina, a History: Who’s Right?

Falkland Islands Dispute, British and Argentina, a History. Who’s Right? A Book on Falkland Islands Dispute. Argentina and the United Kingdom’s (UK) longstanding dispute over the Falkland Islands flared up as the commemoration of the 30anniversary of the Falkland War approached. Leading up to and during the anniversary, the tensions became critical, and the rhetoric became increasingly harsh and imputing as the two heads of state continually labelled each other as colonialist. The Argentinian President Christina de Kirchner accused the UK of holding on to her colonial power. “It is an injustice that in the 21Century there are still colonial enclaves... 16 colonial enclaves throughout the world - 10 of those belonging to the United Kingdom. Every day that goes by it looks more ridiculous, more absurd to the eyes of the world.”The British Prime Minister (PM) David Cameron refutes Argentina’s accusations by reversing her argument.
