LIVE – Queen Elizabeth II died: the funeral and coronation of Prince Charles

Isabel II, staunch defender of the self-determination of the British islanders in the Falklands

The death of the British queen Isabel II resonated throughout the world, but it did so in a particular way, and with mixed feelings, in those countries where the United Kingdom exercises its colonial occupation, as occurs with Argentina, which for decades has claimed the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.

Elizabeth II, whose reign lasted 70 long years, was characterized by staunchly defending English rule over the archipelago of the Southern Cone, which is much closer to the South American country. In fact, when the Argentine military dictatorship invaded the islands in its failed effort to recover them, with a young and precarious army, the British government of the prime minister, Margaret Thatcherdid not hesitate to repel the attack, bringing the war victory for London.
