Falkland Islands Sovereignty Dispute
Sovereignty over the Falkland Islands ( es, Islas Malvinas) is disputed by Argentina and the United Kingdom. The British claim to sovereignty dates from 1690, when they made the first recorded landing on the islands, and the United Kingdom has exercised ''de facto'' sovereignty over the archipelago almost continuously since 1833.
