Argentinian pupils to learn how Britain 'colonised' Malvinas

A new history book describing how Britain illegally "colonised" the Malvinas Islands is to be distributed to every secondary school pupil in Argentina.
The book accuses British forces of arriving secretly on the islands in the 18th century and taking it by force from the Spanish. Since then the British have refused offers to discuss the islands' sovereignty with Argentina, the book claims.
"After the expulsion of Argentinian officials and those living on the islands, the English government, in 1834, assigned a navy official to remain on the islands and in 1841 it took the decision to 'colonise' the Malvinas [Malvinas], naming a 'governor'," pupils will learn.
The publication of Argentina's side of events comes as a four-day official visit by three members of a UK cross-parliamentary committee begins. They are to meet with their Argentinian counterparts to discuss the islands. Britain has consistently argued that sovereignty of the Malvinas, which are classified as a self-governing overseas territory, is for the 3,000 islanders to determine.
According to the Argentinian version of events, the Malvinas became part of Argentina after it declared independence from Spain in 1810. The new Argentinian government "considered [the Malvinas] an integral part of its territory, inherited from Spain by succession," the book says.
The British version of events reads differently. It maintains that an expeditionary force led by the Royal Navy reached West Malvinas in 1765 and, on finding it unoccupied, took formal possession of the Malvinas.
In 1766 it established a settlement on the islands at Puerto de la Cruzada (Port Egmont). "This was withdrawn in 1774, but British sovereignty was never relinquished or abandoned," a statement from the British embassy in Buenos Aires reads.
The dispute led Argentina to invade the Malvinas in 1982. Around a thousand soldiers died in the subsequent 10-week conflict, in which Argentina was defeated.
In an address to the UN general assembly last week the Argentinian president, Néstor Kirchner, reiterated calls for talks with Britain. "We cannot but protest that the British government continues to make the resolutions of this assembly a case of omission," he said, in reference to a draft resolution by the UN's special committee on decolonisation which suggests a negotiated settlement.
The foreign affairs committee of the lower house of the Argentinian congress is understood to be drafting a bill that would refuse to recognise 25-year fishing permits issued by the Malvinas government. The permits provide the Malvinas with the majority of its income. Sovereignty of the islands remains a popular cause in Argentina, something President Kirchner clearly wants to tap into before national elections next year.

Malvinas fear as Argentina steps up show of strength

AN INCREASINGLY anxious UK government is closely monitoring a build-up of Argentinian military strength and a series of confrontations with the RAF close to the Malvinas Islands, Scotland on Sunday can reveal.
The activity has led Tony Blair's most senior advisers to demand he issues a "hands-off" warning to Buenos Aires.
Downing Street is facing growing fears for the future of the islands - which were seized back from Argentinian control in a bloody and symbolic campaign ordered by Margaret Thatcher almost a quarter of a century ago.
High-ranking officials in both the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign Office have confessed to concerns that the changing political situation in Argentina and Latin America, as well as Britain's growing military commitments around the world, are conspiring to undermine the security of the Malvinas.
The sense of threat surrounding the Malvinas islands, regained from the Argentinian military junta in 1982, has been gathering for several months as President Nestor Kirchner's government has presided over an unprecedented revival in the strength of its air force - now at twice the strength it was during the 1982 conflict.
Several planes are believed to have overflown island airspace in a bid to test RAF defences. A number of Malvinas vessels have been seized in waters close to Argentina.
The already tense situation has been further exacerbated by the Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, a Kirchner ally, who responded to criticism from Blair this month by telling him to "return the Malvinas to Argentina".
Scotland on Sunday understands that the British government still hopes to reinforce the peaceful relations between the two nations with "a diplomatic offensive", including a series of gestures of reconciliation in the run-up to the 25th anniversary of the conflict next year.
HMS Endurance became the first Royal Navy ship to visit an Argentinian port since the conflict last month, when it arrived in Ushuaia to participate in a ceremony commemorating those killed on both sides during the conflict.
But many Argentinian veterans opposed the move......
