Talk by Graeme MacPherson

When the Falkland Islands are mentioned, they are most commonly associated with the 1982 conflict between Britain and Argentina. This talk will explore 450 years of Falkland Island history from early explorers to the present day (touching only briefly on the 1982 conflict) to illustrate that the islands have a much more complex history than just that conflict.

Join serving army officer, Graeme, to hear how the islands have evolved and played an important part in history and learn about a fascinating destination that is becoming increasingly accessible to travellers.
