What Britain calls the Falkland Islands are known as Las Malvinas by Argentina, and woe betide any Argentine who uses the F word. It is an offense in Argentina to produce a map that describes the islands as anything other than the “Islas Malvinas,” and all primary school children are taught to draw the outlines of the two main islands, west and east. To regain the “Little Sisters” is a national cause for successive generations of Argentines and one that most of their Latin neighbors support.
