Explanation

The British government has rebuffed Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's proposal in May 2010 to discuss the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. Argentina has long laid claim to the islands in the South Atlantic which they call Las Malvinas. The two countries went to war in 1982 after Argentina invaded the islands, with British forces retaking them after a short conflict.
