What were the enemies and allies of England in world war 2?
Currently the greatest threats posed to the UK come from Islamic terrorist groups such as al-Qa'ida. Second most likely to attack the UK are Irish terrorist groups such as the RIRA. In terms of countries, the UK is on good or neutral terms with most of the world. Iran have in the recent past threatened the UK with violence, and is perhaps the only country in years to do so. Pakistan has had an uneasy relationship with the UK in recent years also, especially due to their subversive assistance of military groups such as the Taliban in Afghanistan. Some of the countries engaged in revolt currently (2011), including Libya, were on cold terms with the UK, but due to the shifting of social and political power they are not a current threat.

Yes, The Falkland Island (Islas Malvinas)are part of South America, like Tierra del Fuego, Is Galapagos and another islands. The Falklanders wish to be British and I believe they have reason. The argentinian people must think about that. I'm argentinien and I believe than we can live together in peace. Is my wish. The Falklands were ceeded to Great Britain in 1833. Argentina's claim is false & illegal as it did not exist as a country until 1853. The islands are over 300 miles off the coast of the South American continent. The population speak English and are culturally, ethnically and historically British. Under International Maritime law Britain has the right of exploration for mineral wealth for up to 200 miles of the coast.
