Flag: Falkland Islands 🇫🇰
Copy & Meaning

The flag of Falkland Islands — the South Atlantic British Overseas Territory whose sovereignty is disputed by Argentina, leading to the Falklands War of 1982 when Argentina invaded and the UK dispatched a naval task force to retake the islands. The conflict transformed Margaret Thatcher's political fortunes and remains a source of Argentine national grievance. The islands have a population of about 3,000 people who voted overwhelmingly to remain British in a 2013 referendum.

Sheep farming and fishing have been supplemented by tourism. Used for Falklands War history, British-Argentine relations, colonial sovereignty disputes, and South Atlantic geopolitics.
