Malvinas

Falkland Islands are known in Argentina as the Malvinas. They were the prize in the 1982 British-Argentine war, and Britain thus far has brushed off Buenos Aires’ territorial claims in the drilling area. While a renewal of the 1982 military conflict seems unlikely, the rhetorical battle serves a political purpose for embattled Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
