Talk:Irredentism

message: Argentina's invasion of the Falklands is cited as an example of irredentism in South America, where the Argentine military government sought to exploit national sentiment over the islands to deflect attention from domestic concerns..  Many analysts considered the Argentine position unassailable but the UK prevailed in the Falklands War. The islands are now self-governing with the UK responsible for defence and foreign relations. Referenda in 1986 and 2013 show a preference for British sovereignty among the population. Both the UK and Spain claimed sovereignty in the 18th Century  and Argentina claims the islands as a colonial legacy from independence in 1816. President Juan Perón exploited the issue to reduce British influence in Argentina, instituting educational reform teaching the islands were Argentine and creating a strong nationalist sentiment over the issue. Although defeated, Argentina did not agree to cease hostilities until 1989 and successive Argentine Governments have continued to claim the islands.

replies: text: Yes from me. Some good sources used too. Possibly inserting 'overwhelming' before 'preference' is justified. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 09:37, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

message: Should there be a mention of irredentism motivated by the belief that it is the will of God, or a divine being? Greater Israel clearly falls into this category, as do (arguably) certain variants of the Moscow as the Third Rome and Akhand Bharat concepts. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:6466 (talk) 03:08, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello and thanks for the suggestion. It's true that there are some cases where irredentism is linked to religion. However, religious irredentism does not seem to be a major category in the academic literature on the subject, at least not in the overview sources that I'm aware of. But if you have a good source on the subject then I could take a look at it. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:57, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Why is there no discussion of Israel and Palestinian irredentism? 216.67.40.181 (talk) 23:27, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello 216.67.40.181 and thanks for raising this issue. The Israel-Palestinian conflict is not the most typical form of irredentism and this article is not meant to provide a comprehensive list of all irredentist conflicts. But the page List of irredentist claims or disputes might interest you since it has a section on this conflict. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:39, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
