Falkland Islands or the Malvinas Islands are disputed between the United Kingdom and:

  • (A) Brazil  
  • (B) Russia  
  • (C) Argentina  
  • (D) Chile
  • The Falkland Islands, or Islas Malvinas as they’re known by Spanish-speaking nations, are located way out in the South Atlantic Ocean and are a British Overseas Territory. There has been a longstanding dispute over them by Argentina, which has been claiming them since its own struggle for independence against Spanish rule, claiming that it was Spanish territory because it was inherited from Spanish rulers.
  • In 1982, it led to an undeclared war that lasted for 74 days when Argentina occupied them, but Argentina was repelled by a British naval fleet, and Argentina surrendered on June 14, 1982. Argentina continues to press its claim, which is entrenched in its Constitution of 1994.
  • Britain, however, has been claiming sovereignty over them because of its control over them for most of its history, dating back to 1833, and because of the self-determination of the Falkland Islanders, which was demonstrated by the 99.8% vote in favor of remaining under British control in a referendum held in 2013.
