What is Malvinas?
1.
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.

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.

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
