Smile Falkland Island tension between Argentina and UK
FALKLAND ISLANDS

Catholic country with 12,137 km2 of area and population of 3140, per capita income is $25,000.

HISTORY

With the British re-establishment in 1983, Argentina sought separation and since that Argentina claims on Falkland Islands. Argentina invaded in April 1982 in which Argentina sought defeat in June 1982, having UN SC resolution 502 for withdrawal and diplomatic solution (There was a military rule that time which over in 1983). Now Argentina claims the area while UK rejects any sovereignty. Major economy: raising sheep wool, fisheries, tourism and oil.

CURRENT SITUATION

The tension between UK and Argentina still exists as Argentina still claims the area and UK rules out. Now Argentina is a good democracy with age of 27 years which seeks the solution but with a peace full approach.
