The British, however, were able to block the ship's escape to the high seas and a despondent Graf von Spee skipper Capt. Hans Langsdorff (below, at left) committed suicide. Who Owns The Falklands ? The Falklands, a group of bleak, windswept islands 250 miles off South America's southeast coast, have been a source of contention be- tween Britain and Argentina for 150 years. They were long strategically important as the nearest refuge for ships from the dangerous passage aroimd Cape Horn. Their territorial waters are now considered a likely source of oil and gas. Britain's claim to the Falklands, one of its last colonial possessions, is based on their probable discovery in 1592 by John Davis. The islands have also been claimed and occupied at various times by Spain, France and Argentina. The Argentine claim stems mainly from rights inherited from Spain, which recorded a dis- covery in 1520 by members of Ferdi- nand Magellan's round-the-world ex- pedition. The islands were named in J.690 by Viscount Falkland, treasurer of the British Navy. In 1832, a colony of Argentines seized several United States sealing ships, which led to a U.S. punitive expedition that forced many colonists out. In 1832-33, a British expedition removed the last Argentines and founded a permanent colony of settlers. Many of their de- scendants still live there and have re- peatedly affirmed their intention to remain British. Repeated efforts to settle the dis- pute have proved futile.
