The conference was titled for both the Falklands and Malvinas rather than choosing one national usage. British participants normally say the Falklands War, while Argentines call it the Malvinas War. The naming problem resembles the Great Patriotic War and Second World War, where different communities use different labels for overlapping history. The accommodation was practical as well as diplomatic: it helped veterans and speakers from both sides join the same discussion and build a fuller account.
