Malvinas (Argentinian name for Falklands)

The Malvinas, known as the Falkland Islands in English, are a group of islands located in the South Atlantic Ocean, east of Argentina. The islands have been the subject of a territorial dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom since the early 19th century. Argentina calls them "Malvinas" and claims sovereignty, while the UK administers the islands and refers to them as the Falklands. This dispute escalated into a war in 1982, resulting in Argentine surrender. The islands are known for their unique wildlife and rich natural resources, and they remain a point of national pride and contention for Argentinians.
