		Twenty-five years ago, in one of history’s biggest military blunders, the Argentine military invaded the Falkland Islands (which Argentines call the Islas Malvinas), a self-governing, overseas territory of the United Kingdom.
		Falklanders overwhelmingly oppose incorporation into Argentina, a distinct culture with a history that has often been violent and unpredictable, a perfect example being the unprovoked invasion 25 years ago.
		In reality, the Falklanders have a much more cohesive culture than the Argentines who, for historical and psychological reasons are inhabitants rather than citizens of the land, as argued by their own greatest writer, Jorge Luis Borges.
