"Las Malvinas son Argentinas" a.k.a "Malvinas" a.k.a "Falklands":

\

"We have no doubt about our sovereignity over the Falkland Islands and the surrounding maritime areas." So spoke the high and mighty voice of the British Foreign Office.
    Personally, I don't understand what the 'kilombo' is all about. It's just a bunch of islands, right? But I do have to admit that if older and wiser people than my young fledgling self find it necessary to elaborate tedious arguments for both sides of this conflict, I suppose there must be something to it. It is not up to me to decide who is right and who is wrong, if it were my call I would draw a line down the middle of the island or islands or whatever the hell it is and say "Okay Christina, you can bring your penguin colony over to this side" and hand over the other half to David Cameron and say "It's all yours. Have tea and crumpets to your heart's delight", but what I do know is that this is a very sensitive subject to most Argentinos.
Think of the Falkands/Malvinas as the Voldemort of Argentina, the "islands-that-must-not-be-named", and, especially if you are from the UK, please try to not mention this subject. Argentines are a proud people, and they still feel the bitter sting of losing this archipelago back in 1982. Just in case you can't be bothered to read the whole Wikipedia article on the Malvinas/Falklands, like myself, here is a small recap: "Ever since the re-establishment of British rule in 1833 Argentina has claimed sovereignty.  In pursuit of this claim, which is rejected by the islanders, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands in 1982. This precipitated the two-month-long undeclared Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom and resulted in the defeat and withdrawal of the Argentine forces." This was a sad chapter in the history of Argentina, since 904 Argentine soldiers died during those 74 days, and through propaganda and misinformation, many civilians were actually tricked into thinking Argentina was winning, so the defeat came as an even bigger shock.
So if you don't want to end up in a fistfight while someone belts out the 'himno nacional' in your face with breath smelling of 'empanadas' and 'milanesa', don't go there. Talk about the weather, or something, if you're really desperate. We have nice weather here in Buenos Aires.
    Anti-British sentiment was once quite popular in Argentina, but most of it nowadays is harmless and only lingers on in trivial things like football chants. Last year I went to a football stadium to watch a match between Argentina and Peru, I think, or maybe it was Bolivia... Anyways, at one point everyone in the crowd was jumping up and down chanting 'el que no salta es un inglÈs', you figure it out, and I remember thinking how odd/funny it was, since we weren't even playing an English team. I knew a couple of people from the UK who had gone to the match, and though some of them even knew the meaning of the chant they jumped along as if they were proud Argentinos themselves, taking it with good humour and a smile on their faces. But bringing up the "islands-that-must-not-be-named" might stir old, unpleasant memories, so 'no jodan'.
    So, to conclude: do not bring this subject up if it is avoidable. Enough said.
