Note: A British self-governing colony, comprising the Falkland Islands and several other islands administered from the Falkland Islands. The sovereignty of the Falklands has long been in dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom, with protracted negotiations through much of the 20th century. Argentina made an unsuccessful attempt to claim the islands in 1982 through military force, leading to the brief Falklands War with Great Britain. The sovereignty of the islands - also known as the Islas Malvinas (or Malvinas) - remains in contention. |
