Argentina protests after U.K. renames Antarctica land to honour Queen

Argentina says the United Kingdom's decision to rename a vast swath of Antarctica Queen Elizabeth Land is a throwback to imperialism and has formally complained to the British ambassador in Buenos Aires.

    yes...about 40% of Argentinians are Italians and about 70% claim some Italian ancestry.. There are also large German and British minorities. It's not really a typical Latin American society.

    Many the progeny of ex-Nazis running from the hangman.

    It's quite a chunk of land Her Majesty has named after her. Queen Elizabeth Land is twice the size of the UK.

    But you've got to laugh at the Argies saying that this shows that Britain has "imperialistic ambitions". What they probably failed to mention to the UN when they went crying to them is the fact that they are actually staking a claim (although all claims are suspended by the Antarctic Treaty System) to part of Britain's Antarctic territory. It's not just the Falklands that the Argies are tying to snatch from the British. They are also trying to take our Antarctic terrirory. It's the Argies who are the imperialists.

    The Argies need another WW11 American cruiser to frighten the Brits. They can name it the General Bellygrano.
