Stanley, Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean

Stanley, on East Falkland, is the capital of the Falklands and its only true city

The islands are a self-governing Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom

In 1982 the islands were invaded by Argentina, precipitating the two-month-long Falklands War

Since the war there has been strong economic growth in both fisheries and tourism

The inhabitants are full British citizens and under Argentine Law are eligible for Argentine citizenship

The islands' residents reject the Argentine sovereignty claim
