The Falklands are a group of small islands in the South Atlantic close to Argentina, with a
population of 1,200 British citizens. They have been British territory ever since 1892. Disputes
about who owns the islands go back to the eighteenth century. Argentina
has long alleged that
these islands, which they call the Malvinas, belong to them. They invaded the islands in April
1982 and the Falkland War lasted until July 1982 when British forces won them back. The
Falkland War had an massive impact on Britain and is still controversial. Some
people see it as
a restoration of Britain's old imperial power.
