The Falkland islands belong to which country?

Answer 1

The Falklands/Malvinas' sovereignty is still in dispute, although the British has kept a settlement there for longer than any other country that claimed the islands (France, Spain, and later Argentina).

Answer 2

The Falkland Islands are a former colony and now an Overseas Territory of Great Britain. However Argentina has contested this claim off and on since 1833. Under its ruling military junta, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands in 1982, but its forces were defeated after 74 days and forced to surrender by a British military task force.

Answer 3

The Falklands belong to Britain.

Argentina, which calls the islands Las Islas Malvinas (the Malvinas Islands), contests the British claim, but most of the world recognizes the Falklands as territory of the UK.

Answer 4

The islands belong to the Falkland islanders.

The reasons for this are because:

1. The land belongs, for the most part, to the people who live there, and they don't want it to be part of Argentina. As a democracy, the right of self-determination is supported.

2. They don't belong to Britain - it is a self-governing Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom.

3. Argentina never effectively owned them - they claimed it at a time when several other countries did the same, and there was a bit of pushing and shoving to see who could stake a permanent claim.

Also if anyone refers to them as the "Falkland Islands" then they must not believe they belong to Argentina. Calling them that is being offensive to the Argentine people. They call them the "Malvinas".

Answer 5

The United Kingdom (Great Britain) claims the Falkland Islands and has de facto control of them. However, Argentina also claims the islands, calling them "las Islas Malvinas," or the Malvinas Islands.

Answer 6

Argentina. They are known as "Malvinas" in SouthAmetica

Sorry if i am wrong but if you analyze a map of the world, it clearly states, next to the label which reads 'Falkland Islands' the further label (UK) which means that that country controls those islands.
