Life in the UK Test 37
Which of the following is a British overseas territory located in the South Atlantic?
Correct Answer: The Falkland Islands
The Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean, approximately 300 miles (480 km) off the south-eastern coast of Argentina. The islands are self-governing in internal affairs but the UK is responsible for their defence and foreign policy.
In 1982, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, prompting the UK under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to send a naval task force. After a ten-week conflict, British forces recaptured the islands. The islands' population, who are predominantly of British descent, voted overwhelmingly to remain a British Overseas Territory in a 2013 referendum.
