What are the historical claims to the Falkland islands?
The Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic and were originally part of the British Empire. The Falklands are occupied mostly by people of British descent and have been for about 200 years. In a referendum, 97% of the islanders voted to remain a British Overseas Territory. However, Argentina has long claimed sovereignty of the islands and in fact invaded the islands in 1982. Britain sent a military task force to retake the islands with considerable loss of life on both sides of the conflict. Argentina is still pressing for sovereignty of the islands and the islanders are still overwhelmingly adamant that they want to remain affiliated to Britain. It is unlikely that Argentina will try to retake the islands again, particularly as Britain now has a much bigger military presence on the islands than they did in 1982.

The Falklands Conflict was fought between Argentina and the United Kingdom during the Spring of 1982, in the South Atlantic. The battle started after Argentina invaded the islands with their Army. The British responded by sending a Naval Task Force, including 2 small aircraft carriers HMS Hermes, and HMS Invincible and approximately 40 other warships to the area. The Task Force had to sail 8,000 miles from England to the Islands. Ultimately the UK retook the Falklands after a lot of very intense air-to-air combat between the Argentine Air Force and the Harrier Jets from the Royal Navy and RAF. There was also intense bombardment and attacks on Royal Navy ships by the Argentinian airforce which caused a lot of damage to the warships, and sank a number of them. In the end the UK prevailed and retook the Islands. The UK refers to the group of islands as the Falkland Islands, and Argentina calls them the Malvina Islands as the islands are located about 200 miles off the coast of Argentina. Mark
