Malvinas Argentinas

By Antonio Fernando González Recuero

The importance of the islands lies in their geopolitical position and the potential wealth of the sea surrounding them. Their global importance lies in their geographic proximity to Antarctica, their surveillance of maritime traffic in the area and the existence of oil-bearing sedimentary basins.The Malvinas armed conflict, rather than being inserted in the East-West struggle, should be inserted in the North-South struggle; all the responsibility for the invasion order belongs to the Armed Forces and the "de facto" Military Junta. Galtieri judged that an immediate British response was hardly possible after Galtieri's concessions to the US for the exploitation of natural resources and the fight against leftist rebels in Central America.Everything has to be inserted in asymmetrical power relations between a former colony and a former metropolis.The Malvinas armed conflict finally brought the fall of the military junta and democracy to Argentina.
