@lasojaesunyuyo They are what the islanders want them to be. And so far, they want them to be British. Or do you want to force them out and treat them like second class citizens like you did the Mapuche? You call us colonial and you come out with language like that - forcing a people to leave, or put up with a nationality they don't want. There is no place for colonialism in the modern world, particularly from a second rate nation populated by colonial descendants.

They are "Malvinas". Final point. If they want to be British, go to Britain and ready!

"Falklands" is the name the islanders call the islands. They don't want "Malvinas" as it reminds them of the time they were placed under Argentine military occupation.

@Medeasbiggestfan Falklands, the name imposed by the pirates. When British arrived to the islands in 1833 they were MALVINAS. They are still being Malvinas, although there are okupas living in them.

Its a question of sovereignity over the islands: As modern Argentinia only came about in only 1862 the islands undisputably belong to the British as it had control over the islands long before the nationstate of Argentinia. Galtieri, a military dictator, sought to exploit the vulnerability of the remote FALKLAND ISLANDS. His military invasion - prompted by low ratings and given Margaret Thatchers equal poor rating had brought about a unique opportunity for both to use the situation.

What's you're definition of 'correct'?

All legal documents produced by the government of the islands refers to them as the 'Falklands'. Almost everyone who lives on the islands calls them the 'Falklands'. Under most English-language naming conventions, that means the correct name for the islands is 'Falklands'.

[lasojaesunyuyo]

@Medeasbiggestfan They will always be "Malvinas", the legal and correct name.

@TheMegaArchitect They`re British now because they were usurped ilegally and militarily. Argentinian people were expelled by British conquers in 1833.

@lasojaesunyuyo

John Strong landed on the islands in 1690 and named Falkland Sound after Anthony Cary, 5th Viscount Falkland. The name was later extended to the whole archipelago.

The French knew this when they arrived in 1764, but they didn't want to call the islands after a British nobleman, so they called them Malouines, which the Spanish pronounced as 'Malvinas' when they arrived on the islands in 1767.

So the islands were called Falklands a long time before they were called Malvinas.

@lasojaesunyuyo The Falkland Islands are just as Brittish as Hawaii is American!
