Malvinas

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.
People like you need to stop being so ignorant. British took so much of Africa and India and China...and they let that go, hanging on to the Malvinas is hipocrisy.

Malvinas

The name that countries of hispanic tongue, especially the Argentine folk, give to the Falkland Islands. It derives from the french name given to those same islands, "Îles Malouines". To the UN, the name of this archipelago must be documented as "Falkland Island (Malvinas)".

Most, if not all, of latin america countries, including non-spanish speakers like Brazil, still prefer to use Malvinas instead of Falklands. While some people argue that this is because of the military conflict between Argentina and the UK over those islands, the ussage of the name Malvinas is mostly because that name just feels more natural, easier to say, and it's culturally-adopted for a latin american.
English person: Why does your country have another name for the Falkland Islands? Can't you accept that they belong to Britain instead of calling them differently?

Latin-american person: They could belong to anyone and I would still call them Malvinas when speaking to the people of my country. That's just how everyone in this part of the world calls them, after all. It's a culture thing, y'know?

malvinas

Pair of islands in the South Atlantic right next to the Argentinean Coast. A war was fought over them in the 80's, Argentinean soldiers were equipped with WWII arms while British soldiers had the latest military technology of that time (Duh!, who could possibly win? I mean Harriers against Pucaras? C'mon you gotta be kiddin me!). The fact is that the Brits decided to take away something that is not theirs just because they wanted to (like they did with lots and lots of other spots all-around the world). The current name of the islands is "Falkland Islands" since they are under British control, while the real name of them is "Islas Malvinas" since Argentina is the real owner.
Anyways, i dont think none of us is really interested in the Malvinas. There's nothing there, and like the other guy said: it's freaking cold.
