i think you'll find The Falkland Islands are Sovereign Territory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
and as long as my @rse points south they'll always be British. |

Nope they are British, but thanks for asking. |

Yes the Malvinas islands are Argentinian - unfortunately there is no such internationally recognized place. It is easy for any country to claim sovereignty of a fictitious location. There is an ISO geographic designation containing the word Malvinas but not the phrase Malvinas Islands.
The Falkland Islands, the internationally recognized name for the chunk of land you may have in mind, however are a dependency of the United Kingdom (not England, not Great Britain). |

Politically and economically, they belong to Breat Britain. Infact they have for many many years been British, however, the Argentinians seemed to think they belonged to them, enough to start the Falklands conflict back in the eighties. The conflict was won by Britiain, and therefore the Falkands (Las Malvinas) remain under soverign rule, and British ownership.
Many an Argentinian will argue that the islands truely belong to them, however, the people that live on the island are of British decent, and see themselves as an extension of the British mainland. |

No they're not, and it's the Falkland Islands, NOT the Malvinas.
Grow up and stop trolling. |

The Malvinas are occupied by UK but claimed by Argentina as part of their territory. ALL maps made in Argentina put Malvinas as part of their territory and ALL argentinians think so. I think Argentina will get full control of the Malvinas some day. |

So apply the same 'logic' & Argentina belongs to the Diaguita, Guarani, Tehuelches, Rehuelches, Rampas, Matacos, Guaycures, Huerpes, Mapuches, Incas etc.?
So if you're of Spanish decent you should leave Argentina & return it to the original inhabitants.
PS The Falkland Islands are an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom. |

depends on who you ask...an Argentine will say it belongs to Argentina, while a Brit will say it belongs to Great Britain. |

Why is your question worded as a statement?
The Falklands belong to Great Britain and although they weren't really worth going to war for we did and won! |

Well it turned out there was no oil there in commercial quantities.( It was though there might be, which sparked the conflict)
So the Argies might as well have them I suppose.
Mind you a lot of brave lads were involved in the FALKLANDS conflict so this question will annoy a lot of people.
Which- I have NO doubt- is your real reason for posting this question. |
