Argentina wants Malvinas Islands back

World

Argentina’s President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has sent a letter to the UK’s Prime Minister David Cameron, asking that talks between their countries should start over the status of the Falkland Islands.

180 years ago, Great Britain annexed this archipelago near Argentina’s shore.

“The Falkland Islands” is the name used by the UK, while Argentinians call them by a Spanish name “Islas Malvinas”.

In her letter, Ms. de Kirchner calls the islands “Malvinas”.

In 1965, the UN General Assembly issued a resolution which recognized the UK’s annexing of the islands an act of colonization.

On April 2, 1982, a war between the UK and Argentina over the islands began. The war lasted 74 days.

In 2010, the UK started to explore an oil deposit in the sea near the islands, which aggravated the conflict.
