In 1982, a war broke out between the countries. It lasted several weeks and ended with the defeat of the Latin American country. In March 2013, the islands held a referendum on the status of the territory, with 99.8% of local residents having preferred to remain a UK overseas territory. Argentina has not recognized the voting results. Tensions over the territory intensified in 2015, after British oil companies discovered new oil and gas deposits near the islands.
