Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising again ahead of Prince William visit
Argentina is not the legal sucessor to Viceroyalty of the RĂ*o de la Plata and its sucessor the United Provinces of the RĂ*o de la Plata which split into Paraguay, Bolvia, Uruguay and Argentina, but it does say this on their Constitution:

"Article 35 .- The denominations successively adopted from 1810 to the present, namely: United Provinces of the RĂ*o de la Plata, Argentine Republic, Argentine Confederation, shall henceforth be interchangeably official names to describe the Government and territory of the provinces, using the words "Argentine Nation" for the making and the enactment of laws."

But then again if Argentina is legally the sucessor Viceroyalty of the RĂ*o de la Plata and its sucessor the United Provinces of the RĂ*o de la Plata, then why have they not claimed Paraguay, Bolvia, Uruguay as part of Argentina along with The Falkland, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands?
