 A Short Prehistory and History of Easter Island
Although Chile had (on paper) the most warships in the Pacific, she desired to acquire other symbols of power and her attention was drawn to the only unclaimed inhabited island in the South Pacific.
The event that triggered the revolt was a dream by an old prophetess named Angata who dreamed that the island once again belonged to the islanders, and a symbolic feast was to be celebrated.
Other recent shipwrecks include the annual supply ship to the island which ran aground on the island’s rocks in 1999 and, shortly before that event, a supply ship sunk at sea with loss of some crew and all the cargo.

 The Presidios Of Alta California
But in other cases (Monterey after it was rebuilt in 1789 and Santa Barbara), an outer defense wall was built with a line of patios or backyards directly behind, which led to back entrances into the soldiers' family quarters.
The basic layout of the presidio--the rings of defense represented by the moat, the outer defense wall--the entire hollow square pattern itself, in fact-- was a frontier adaptation of the European castle, a mode of defense in which one waited within a strong place for the enemy to attack.
It must seem paradoxical that on one hand the crown was attempting to professionalize the army and was in defensive mode while on the other it was slow to improve the pay and working conditions of the soldiers it so badly wanted to defend the frontier, but such was the case.

 The Falklands War (1982) / La Guerra de Las Malvinas (1982)
Virtually every child in Argentina, to this very day, is made to believe that the islands are Argentine, the people living on the islands are virtually non-existent (and if they do exist, they are not considered a party in the conflict) and that the so called "imperialistic injustice" ought to be settled.
Considering this, it is of no surprise that the conflict becomes harder to resolve with time, especially after the tragic events caused by the 1982 war.
For the record, I think Hastings and Jenkins' The Battle for the Falklands is a good overall summary of the war from a British perspective.
