The United Kingdom has owned the islands since 1833 and Argentina has maintained a claim on them. The Falklands (known in Argentina as the Malvinas) have always been an issue in relations between the two countries. In 1982, the military regime which was controlling Argentina invaded the islands. The British responded quickly and within two months the invasion was defeated. The Falklands War led to a political collapse of the Military Junta and a transition towards democracy in Argentina.
The majority of the population of the island are Natives, but there is a large number of British residents. The inhabitants have consistently supported being part of the United Kingdom.
