I actually watched a history lesson on the Falkland recently and when the war was fought there was overwhelming support of the locals for GB to defend the island. Basically all the locals are transplants from Ireland and don't even speak the same language as Argentina. Argentina feels the Falklands belongs to them but has publicly stated it would not attempt to invade again. GB has also since setup closer defences including I believe an airbase on the island but given the recent issues GB has who knows if they could win another remote fight.

Was there a prior group living there before the takeover or was it more of an uninhabited island chain?
