I'm not sure I do know what Marek means Bern. We went to war because the Argies invaded British sovereign territory, containing British subjects. We didn't ask them to invade but General Galtieri needed to do something to restore local faith in a failing Military Junta and the Malvinas were his way out of that problem.
I had dinner after the conflict with an Argentinian in London, on HMS Belfast as it happens, and he said his countrymen were amazed that we, being such a tiny country, bothered to take the Islands back; they'd been led to believe the inhabitants wanted to be part of Argentina and all their army had to do was turn up to get a guaranteed success without bloodshed.
I advised him, this tiny country only had two passions, drinking and fighting, and we did both extremely well and no-one was going to take what was ours without a fight.
But, I also recall Dr David Owen stating on the radio many years ago that the Argies threatened to invade when Labour were in power in the '70's, but we sent a fleet presence down on the quiet and once the Argies found out about it they changed their minds.
For my part, if the Islanders want to become Argentinian instead of British that is up to them and I respect their decision. However, we should expect this item to keep coming up when the Argentian government gets into domestic troubles too.
