Island conflicts refer to disputes over territorial claims, resources, or sovereignty involving islands. These conflicts often arise due to strategic locations, valuable natural resources, or historical claims. Examples include the South China Sea disputes, where multiple countries assert rights over various islands and maritime areas, leading to tensions and military confrontations. Another notable example is the Falkland Islands conflict between Argentina and United Kingdom in 1982, centered on sovereignty claims. Such conflicts can impact regional stability, international relations, and economic activities, as nations seek to assert their interests in these often strategically significant areas.
