Malvinas/Falkland Islands dispute

The Malvinas/Falkland Islands dispute is a long-standing conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom over a remote South Atlantic territory. Argentina claims the islands, called Malvinas locally, as its own based on historical and geographical reasons, while the UK has administered them since 1833. In 1982, Argentina invaded, leading to a brief war that resulted in British victory. The islands remain a British Overseas Territory, but Argentina continues to assert sovereignty. The dispute involves issues of national identity, history, and self-determination, and remains unresolved despite ongoing diplomatic negotiations.
