The Beagle Conflict (Spanish: Conflicto del Beagle) was a border dispute between Argentina and Chile over the possession of the Picton, Lennox and Nueva islands and sea located south of Tierra del Fuego which took both countries to the brink of war in 1978. The Beagle conflict is seen as the main reason for Chilean support to the United Kingdom during the Falklands War of 1982. The dispute ended in the Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1984.

Background
With a strategic location south of the Beagle Channel and with a congruent maritime extension of 30,000 square miles, including fishing and mineral (presumably oil) rights, and possible Antarctic Peninsula territorial claims, the zone had been in contention since the early 20th Century. Sea lions on La Isla de Los Lobos in the Beagle Channel Glacier on the north shore of the Beagle Channel Beagle Channel is a strait separating islands of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, in extreme southern South America. ...

Although the first agreement to limit weapons acquisitions dated from 1902, the two sides still had in 1984 nearly 50 boundary disputes along their common border of 5,308 kilometres, consequently making relations between them very cold. 1902 (MCMII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...
Escalation Often negotiated, the Beagle Channel issue went finally to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 1971 and to arbitration by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II. On May 2, 1977 the queen ruled that the islands and all adjacent formations belonged to Chile. Argentina disputed the decision and sought bilateral negotiations. In July each side protested territorial buoys placed by the other. Without an official border delimitation, both countries repeatedly violated air and maritime spaces. Bilateral negotiations failed. On 25 January 1978 Argentina declared the award fundamentally null and soon relations became extremely tense. Two bilateral commissions, seeking a solution, accomplished little. Chile asked for ICJ mediation; Argentina sought continued negotiation. The International Court of Justice (known colloquially as the World Court or ICJ; French: ) is the primary judicial organ of the United Nations. ...

 Partial reproduction of the first Argentine map showing the boundaries laid down in the Boundary Treaty of 23 July 1881, appeared in "La Ilustración Argentina" issue of 10 November 1881 in Buenos Aires. The copy reproduced here is one handed to the British Minister Plenipontentiary in Buenos Aires by Bernardo de Irigoyen, Argentine Minister of Foreign Affairs who negotiated and signed the Boundary Treaty. The original is located in the official British Archives. The British Minister sent it to his Government with the comment that the dark shaded area "comprising the Strait of Magellan, half of Tierra del Fuego and all the southern islands, represent was actually has been ceded to Chile by the recent treaty." Both countries, at the time governed by military dictatorships, made important military deployments moving to the brink of open warfare. On December 9 1978, Argentina sent a naval squadron to the Beagle Channel region, while Chile followed suit.

On December 11, Pope John Paul II sent a personal message to both presidents urging a peaceful solution, but keeping up the original arbitration of the United Kingdom. War preparations continued as did diplomatic efforts to avert hostilities. Argentina complained to the United Nations; Chile asked the Organization of American States to convene. On December 21, Chile accepted the Pope's mediation. Argentina did so the next day. They would allow the Pope to mediate the dispute through the good offices of Cardinal Antonio Samoré, his special envoy. The foundation of the U.N.
