Is there any particular reason why these Countries would go to war? And if they did, a lot would depend upon their neighbours, and which of the so-called super powers would be there to lend a hand.

The United Kingdom declared war on Argentina in 1982, and although others offered assistance, we took it upon ourselves to regain The Falkland Islands (Las Malvinas), despite being thousands of miles away. Under the Premiership of Margaret Thatcher, The Task Force was sent from our shores all the way to The South Atlantic, and The Islands were regained. Ultimately, it led to the downfall of the military juncta in Argentina, and although I know little of The South Americans these days, it would seem (from what I read) that it has become a better place as a result.

However, I also read that there is some sort of hatred between The United States and Mexico, which means if this was the case, then Argentina would have a huge advantage.

The best thing for everyone is to hope that this never happens, and that we can all carry on in harmony now and into the future.

You have a point, because as such, The United Kingdom did not exactly declare war on Argentina, more advertise the fact that Margaret Thatcher, our Prime Minister at the time, was sending out a Naval Task Force with which to regain control of The Islands. She also advertised the fact that she was sending out some of the longer range Royal Air Force Vulcan Bombers with which to disable Port Stanley Airstrip, and to assist The Naval Task Force as required.

So in theory, war was never declared, it was no secret that The United Kingdom were going to use war tactics to regain The Islands, and put them back into British control. The entire situation was actually known, and still is known as a conflict here. But the anniversaries of various events within the conflict are still remembered and honoured, much as other incidents involving our troops and servicemen are, and they are also remembered on November 11th each year, along with our other heroes who have ensured that there is still a GREAT in Britain!

And to think it all started because an Argentine business owner on the island had the "audacity" to fly his country's flag at his place of work!

The british government really got that one right eh??? nowadays apparently the English aren't allowed to display their own flags at their homes for fear of upsetting foreign immigrants - how things have changed! Laughing

edit - why the initial question anyway? do you know something we don't??

Mexico would win.

Pepsi and Coke both have factories exploiting cheap labour in Mexico. Therefore the U.S would blow the s**t out of any country attempting to destabilise their 'partners'.

Long live NAFTA etc.... hell, even Taco Bell have opened a restaurant in Mexico, bringing Mexican food to the Mexicans Laughing
