evidence: Argentina vowed Thursday to "recover" the Falkland Islands from Britain, after the U.K. government gave up control of a different archipelago in the Indian Ocean. "With concrete actions and not empty rhetoric, we will recover full sovereignty over our Malvinas Islands. The Malvinas [the Spanish name] were, are and will always be Argentine," Buenos Aires’ Foreign Minister Diana Mondino wrote Thursday night. Britain and Argentina fought a war in 1982 over the Falkland Islands, which are situated in the south Atlantic Ocean. Argentine forces invaded the Falklands, before surrendering to Britain two and a half months later after hundreds of combatants were killed on both sides. The islands have remained a source of tension between London and Buenos Aires ever since.
