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.
