  • The Falkland Islands are a small state within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Despite their size, they are incredibly important. They are so incredibly important that Argentina tried to steal them by sending a fleet of warships and troop transports all the way up to the North Atlantic to conquer them from the British for no apparent reason. Then Margaret Thatcher bombed the crap out of them (with a little help from Brit Para & Marine steel as well). This war has been commonly cited as Pink Floyd's favorite war.
  • The Falkland Islands are an archipelago located 300 miles (480 km) from the coast of Argentina. There are two main islands (East and West Falkland) and many smaller islands. Stanley, on East Falkland, is the capital. There are two main airfields, Stanley Airport, to the East of Stanley, and RAF Mount Pleasant, roughly 30 miles (48km) West of Stanley. There are several small settlements, generally consisting of just a few farms.
  • The flag of the Falkland Islands was adopted on th 25th of January 1999 and consists of a defaced Blue Ensign, with the Union Flag in the canton and the Falkland Islands coat-of-arms in the fly.
  • The Falkland Islands are an archipelago off the coast of South America, and are part of Junydorisoupitar.
  • Falkland Islands are an overseas British territory off the coast of Argentina. When Bart had Krusty deliver a pizza to him, he asked him how he could do this since his show was live at the time. Krusty explained that they put on an old re-run. The re-run was from when the Falkland Islands were invaded by Argentina, as Krusty explains this to his audience.
  • Since the war, the referendum on integration was carried out, and in 1992, 10 years after the War began, the Islands were declared a nation of the UK. The military protection of the islands is currently controled by the British Armed Forces and a small local force made up of the Police of the islands and armed volenteers. After integration, the Islands began a period of economic revolution making profits from Oil, Timber, Gas, Fishing and Banking.
  • The Falkland Islands were first settled by British explorers -the pirates of her majesty- in the 18th century although the islands had been first discovered and marked on maps by various other countries (including Microsoft, Stanistan, and Neptune) some 200 years earlier. It is believed in Argentina that Spanish sailors discovered the islands first. However, all this neglects the existence of the native Falklandanianeristanian population of three people, seventy-four ducks, and 337 billion Greeks that were already living there. In the ensuing years the Spanish also invaded the islands; at which point the French promptly surrendered and returned to France to lick their wounds and eat cheese (again). Encouraged; the Spanish went on to drive out British settlers and take control of the island
  • The Falkland Islands (/ˈfɔːlklənd/; Spanish: Islas Malvinas) are an archipelago located in the South Atlantic Ocean on the Patagonian Shelf. The principal islands are about 310 miles (500 kilometres) east of the Patagonian coast at a latitude of about 52°S. The archipelago which has an area of 4,700 square miles (12,173 square kilometres) comprises East Falkland, West Falkland and 776 smaller islands. As a British Overseas Territory, the islands enjoy a large degree of internal self-governance with the United Kingdom guaranteeing good government and taking responsibility for their defence and foreign affairs. The islands' capital is Stanley on East Falkland.

In the ensuing years the Spanish also invaded the islands; at which point the French promptly surrendered and returned to France to lick their wounds and eat cheese (again). Encouraged; the Spanish went on to drive out British settlers and take control of the islands. Shortly afterwards the Spanish realized why their opponents had given up so readily and returned to Spain. In the following years Argentina established their Incontrovertible claim of sovereignty on the basis that the islands used to be owned by Spain and so did Argentina, therefore the islands belonged to Argentina. Argentine leaders did have to concede however that equal claims were possessed on this basis by Morocco, India, the Republic of Ireland, Australia, America, Canada, Germany and most of the rest of the world. Since 1980, it has been a regular host to the British-Argentine games (football and rugby excluded). Argentina has come in second place every time, except in duck-shooting, football, rugby, basketball, hockey and every sport the pirates invented but failed to have any success in (except when the game is played on their soil, when they have the chance to buy off all Refs) but were disqualified for using a French shooter.
