The 1982 Falklands War remains a stain in the pride and image of all Argentinians. It was the failure and incompetence of the National Reorganization Process’s push for war against the United Kingdom that eventually led to it’s own defeat. Nevertheless, Argentina never rescinded it’s territorial claims on the Falklands even after defeat. In fact with recent governments, anti British rhetoric and nationalist fervor have built up to the point that popular calls for the government to demand action against Britain in reclaiming the islands as a central objective of the nation. In 2023, Argentina withdrew from the Falklands Pact intended at resolving such a dispute and restarted negotiations over the territory’s sovereignty. Successive governments avoided pressing the issue due to the country’s inability to pursue a military solution that could give Argentinians the edge in negotiations. However with the militarization drive since 2027, the government believes it is ready to “force the issue” so to speak.

Argentina would formally request the United Kingdom to come to the negotiating table to discuss the “complete decolonization of the Falklands to Argentina” and the dismantlement of military bases in the island as well as an end to the NATO arms blockade and trade embargo.
