Argentina believed and to this day believes that the Falkland Isles are theirs, however because the residents on the isle are British; Britain claims right of Sovereignty. Argentina invaded the island believing it to be a re-occupation of its own Territory, so England Sent a Naval Task Force to re-take the Island. Although neither side Officially declared War.
As of 2011, and as it has since the 19th century, Argentina shows no sign of relinquishing its claim. The claim remained in the Argentine constitution after its reformation in 1994.
