Jajaja, mas vale que me conozcan, soy el primo loco :smiley:
Seguramente hablaste con Ezequiel Miranda ( el casado con la rubia)
Hace algun tiempo le pregunte sobre vos.

The Falklanders will never accept you ruling htem. So should they choose to breakaway and declare independance from Britain (as in even more independent than they are now) I doubt they would knock on Argentinas door

Well I think that justification or not of the claim is more to be answered in the other topic. My point with this thread is to show that the Malvinas issue is in the head of every Argentine, no matter skin colour, age, social level, education or wathever else you can name, is a national question that was not, is not and will not be erased of the Argentine public.

Do you not think that is a unhealthy thing?

Next time some loony government wants in or a bad one needs a boost of good opinion what would stop them embarking on another war?

Those that stoke the fires of Argentine bitterness on this matter (and they are stoked by t-shirts and the like also) are not part of the solution on this matter.

It is strange that the Argie angle is “We want them now” and the British angle is “the islanders can do as they please”.

You still dont get my point, is not a sentiment created by any goverment, is a sentiment that lay in every person. It can be exploited, but no invented.

#24

That WAS my point too.

I appreciate it is not invented but can be exploited. However, with the constant wheeling out of this sentiment it is also carried on in to the next generation.

Where as perhaps it would be better to let it lie.

The world of today and tomorrow is different to the days when countries could be formed at whim, and territories siezed.

#25

Mmm, actually a moot point whether it was invented. The Falklands claim was largely forgotten till the 1930s. The main reason it was revived was as the result of German propaganda, it was then exploited by Peron. Argentine text books before the revival of the claim called them the Falkland Islands.

Really the Malvinas issue is the so partiotic-joining thing in Argentina?

So many topics, so many discussion, so many pictures…and you still need to ask?

Big nonsence, the Malvinas is the name applied in 1820 and never was changed from the argentine maps.

And that does not nessesary apply as a claim, in spanish there is a rule that if there is a spanish language name for the place it must be used insted the name in the local language, for example, we dont say “London & New York”
We said “Londres y Nueva York” and that does not imply any territorial question.

The only spanish speaking country who name the islands “Falklands” are…you are right…the bloody chileans.

For every Argentine flying in LAN Chile is quite a shock seeing the map in the brochure calling the Malvinas “Flaklands”.

I guess that we as argentines are too loved/spoiled in other countries.:rolleyes:

You should know by now I never make a claim I can’t back up…

Regarding the treatment of the Falkland Islands, the survey shed interesting results. These islands were present in almost every text throughout the century under study. Nonetheless, before 1940 there were six significative exceptions (out of a total of 31 texts) in which sovereignty was not attributed to Argentina, whereas after that date there was not a single case in which such an attribution was not made (in a total of 46 texts). Another indicator pointing in the same direction is that the use of the British name of the islands was registered seven times up to 1941; after this date, the term Falkland is replaced by Malvinas without exception. By and large, the language used to refer to the British occupation of the islands was considerably more moderate before 1945. This is not to say that there were no cases of a passionate attack on Britain in the early years, which there were. Nonetheless, before 1945 there were several cases of a surprisingly mild treatment, whereas afterwards the treatment became standardized and more homogeneously severe. The paradox is thus that indoctrination became more intense well after a century had lapsed since the British takeover of 1833.

And you can read in Spanish if you like.

Umm… LR, that doesn’t exactly back up your statement that the claim was largely forgotten. Prior to 1940 you;ve still got 80% of texts claiming that the Falklands were Argentinian. All that shows is that some authors weren’t convinced enough of the Argentine claim to risk upsetting the 400lb gorilla that was the UK of the time.
Remember also that the Argentine economy was heavily dependent on the British Empire and on British capital flows prior to WW2 - to the extent that it has at times been described as part of the informal British empire. Even if people were passionately of the belief that the British were occupying Argentinian territory they’re going to be rather wary about saying so.

Post-WW2 all this reluctance goes away. The British Empire is dead in all but name, and the US (with all it’s anticolonial baggage) has taken over the role of top dog in Latin America. Combined with nationalist leaders like Peron, this creates a positive incentive to give voice to feelings that may well have been there all along.

In other words, the evidence you presented does not demonstrate that there was a change in popular views, only that there was a change in how those views were expressed. It is indeed possible that the views changed, but you haven’t yet shown it.

Ah but did you read the whole text in the reference, I think it backs up the point.
