British overseas territories

On April 1982, the Argentine military invaded a series of islands referred to as Falkland Islands. They rapidly overcame the small garrison operated by British marines and rapidly stationed troops in the islands (Encyclopædia Britannica para 2). In response, the United Kingdom undertook a counter-invasion and occupation of the islands to deny the Argentinians from claiming sovereignty over the archipelago. It took almost two months of combat, in which combat casualties exceeded a thousand soldiers, before the British military reversed the successes that Argentina had initially made (Martin 152). Eventually, the UK asserted its own sovereignty over the then-disputed archipelago. Even though the outcome of the conflict is evident, the reasons that sparked the war remain murky. With his regime facing intense domestic pressure, he sought to an opportunity that could enable him direct domestic attention from austerity measures brought about by the rapidly deteriorating political and economic conditions in Argentina (Martin 148). In the end, 650 Argentine and 255 British troops died after the UK began combating the Argentine invasion (Government Digital Service). As the European Union shows, Falkland Islands are now recognized globally as part of British Overseas Territory (European…

For the past one hundred and eighty-five years, the Malvinas Islands have been in the possession of the United Kingdom. This fact has been continuously disputed by the Argentinian government, which believes that the islands have always been considered as a part of their territory. In 1982, the military junta in control of Argentina sought to reclaim the islands from the British through the use of military force. War was declared and Argentinian forces swiftly took control of the island. However,…

Badass U Articles Summary True Alpha? True Alpha The word “alpha” has become very popular in the last decade or so when describing human social dynamics. But the definition of the term isn’t so clear. Most define it as being the leader of men (or women). Or, as some insecure douchebag who is excessively aggressive. And with the first definition, interestingly, people will look at wolves and gorillas to give examples of alphas in the wild. But there really are no alpha males there. Scientists…

personal territories formulated by social norms and other verbal and nonverbal notifications sent by others. The term “public,” specifically means areas where individuals have freedom of access, but not necessarily of action (Guerrero, DeVito & Hecht, 1999). In this paper, I will describe my observations of how various people established their personal territories in five different places: the library, the elevator, the café, the concert, and the children’s playing room. People are able to take…

Response 1 Differences – There are many similarities and differences between Ten Canoes and The Fast Runner. Both are in reference to indigenous people, however, both films also explore stories which provide the audience with a deeper understanding of each tribes’ customs and laws. There are moments in each film which are similar such as having more than one wife or knowing ones place within the community. On the other hand both also have many differences as well for example, .

Across the twentieth century historians have interpreted Australian national identity in a variety of ways, often promoting their own specific views. Here, I shall delineate and give a brief overview of how Australian national identity has been interpreted by some historians. Over the twentieth century, Australian national identity can, in general, be separated into three time periods. Firstly, during the pre-second world war period, national identity was overwhelmingly based on being British.…

people to join us and help us to fight this war. I walked to the lake and sat down for a minute that cool breeze was so nice, I still wish things were this way were before the war broke out. Before the war broke out there was balance between dark and light, we were a thriving pack of 34 wolves and growing but then the darkest pack in the forest the Demons took over our land killing all of our members including the alpha female, male, and the beta female now I’m the only alpha left in the pack,…

we need to look at the sociology of immigration. The Sayad (1977) showed that the first two generations of Kabyle immigrants in France were strongly connected with their country of origin. The relation with the territory of Algeria, Kabylia and more specifically with the village of origin was mainly characterized by the hope and the project of the grand return (Sayad, 1977). This visceral link with the territory is particularly illustrated by the funeral rite of repatriating deceased bodies to…

Establishing Personal Territories In A Public Setting The understanding of social norms is one of the major formulations people use to keep society running in a respectful, safe, and proper way. In public settings people establish, maintain, and change their personal territories formulated by social norms and other verbal and nonverbal notifications sent by others. The term “public,” specifically means areas where individuals have freedom of access, but not necessary of action (Guerrero,…

In Frontier of Possessions, Tamar Herzog, a historian, professor of Latin American presents an account of the conquest from a different perspective, one that proposes that the acquisition of…
