Now, this in not a thread ment just for the discussion of the islands ownership, but to appeciate the history of British-Argentine relations and how each country had an influence on the other.
Personally, I think the UK has been the most influential country in our history as an independant nation, yes more than Italy, up until the Cold War.
Also, although I would get frown at for saying this in many places in Argentina, I do believe the UK has a more rightful claim to the islands than us, way more. Many people believe that, but nobody would utter it cause ou'de look like a "traitor".
That being said, I do feel a deep respect for our troops (not those in command, though) while I still don't stand for the purpose of the war. I think this a duality many countries which have had cuestionable wars have to face.
I think the Falklands War has shaped us as a nation significantly.
In the short term, it skyrocketed Maggie Thatcher's popularity at a time when she was more precariously placed than ever, and in the long term it enabled us to remain more military-conscious than many others.
Nowadays the UK and France are the only European countries who take military upkeep semi-seriously, and I am very grateful to see that the lessons learned from the Falklands have not been entirely forgotten

Reminder that the UK was the original aggressor by bullying Argentinian workers in South Georgia Reminder that Britain dishonoured the 1971 treaty Reminder that Argentina presented its case to the UN but was vetoed by the UK and USA
