 | | A few battles were fought to control the islands, and through it all the British prevailed, and they finally asserted their long-standing claim. | | | Attractions: The Falkland Islands are certainly not considered a prime tourism destination; but for those that do venture to these remote islands, they report it to be an outdoor paradise for nature lovers. | | | Argentina, which has historically claimed the islands, agreed in 1995 to no longer seek them by military force, and even today, the UK firmly rejects Argentina's continuing requests for sovereignty talks. |
