Anything you gave away but now you want it back and are prepared to do anything to get it back, even if it means losing everything.

Named after the Argentine name for the Fawkland Islands which they ruled from 1820 to 1833 and now want back.

argentine for falkland islands... small, useless islands near the end of the world.
In 1982, the militar junta (dictadure that "dissapeared" more than 30000 people deemed left-wing "subversives", impulsed and loved by the US during it's active years) losing extreme popularity,Galtieri's forces invaded the lightly-defended British Falkland Islands in April 1982, and he declared the "Malvinas" a province of Argentina — as they had been according to Argentina from 1820 to 1833, before Britain re-gained control over them.
Galtieri sended conscripts. lots. poorly equiped kids against one of the greatest armies of the world.
When these boys were starving, freezing and getting shot, Galtieri's media lied to people (ESTAMOS GANANDO---we're winning)... the good thing is, whith the defeat, people FINALLY kicked the asses of the "milicos" and since that moment, Argentina has beeen ruled by corrupt presidents

I've looked and looked at maps, charts and my world globe but can't find any place called Malvinas in the south Atlantic Ocean.
I can only find some British islands called the Falkland Islands.
I don't think the Malvinas exist at all.

Fantasy made up spanish name for British islands in the South Atlantic. The correct term is Falkland Islands

(n.) Island group off the coast of Argentina. Commandered by Britain in 1834 as a re-fuelling post for down under and the south americas. Owned by Argentina for a short stint in the eighties, until Thatcher sent in the Royal navy and some sea harriers to destroy thier sorry military.


The correct term is "The Falkland Islands".

Two Argentine islands near the Antartica that were usurped in 1833 by the UK, in 1982 Argentina, under a corrupt dictatorship, invaded them but were repelled by the British with the help of the yanks.

Now the Faulklands, they used to be the Malvinas and whoever said uneducated people call them that is not only wrong, but extrememly rude. Most Argentinans today still refer to them as "las Islas Malvinas" because that is what they originally were...and should be. They belonged to Argentina and the British were incredible silly in wasting their time to take them away. The fact that they did is a lingering example of colonialism which needs to completely die out.
