However, it was the United Kingdom which violated the resolution by not ceasing hostilities and by initiating its aggression in spite of that decision which had already been communicated to the Council. 278. Since intransigence was mentioned, I should also like to point out that my country’s desire to find a peaceful solution to this conflict has been amply Proved by the very great patience with which we have tried to continue to find a negotiated solution to this dispute which was not begun by the Argentine Re- public but precisely by this British fleet which, in a full upsurge of British imperialism, came to our coasts, expelled our authorities, imprisoned our inhabitants and expelled them to Montevideo. This was the act of force which gave rise to this problem. It is not a problem of today, it is a problem which goes back a long way. My country never signed a treaty, never accepted any declaration. On the contrary, it con- stantly protested against this usurpation of its territory, of a piece of our territory on which a colonial rCgime was imposed, and today it is claimed that we should accept it as if it were a fact which all Argentine gener- ations have constantly rejected. 279.

analysis: The text appears to be a diplomatic statement or speech, likely in the context of a conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom. The language used is formal and official, with a focus on justifying Argentina's actions and criticizing the UK's response. The text does not mention specific economic or social issues, but rather focuses on the political and historical context of the conflict.
