History of the Falkland Islands

The history of the Falkland Islands goes back at least five hundred years, with active exploration and colonisation only taking place in the 18th century. Nonetheless, the Falkland Islands have been a matter of controversy, as they have been claimed by the French, British, Spaniards and Argentines at various points.
The extinct Falkland Islands wolf or warrah is sometimes taken as evidence of pre-European discovery.
