Although first sighted by an English navigator in 1592, the first landing was by the English almost a century later in 1690, and the first settlement was by the French in 1764. The colony was turned over to Spain two years later and the islands have since been the Subject of a terrritorial dispute, first between Britan and Spain, then between Britan and Argentina. The UK asserted its claim to the islands by establishing a naval garrison there in 1833. The Islands were important in the days of sail and steam shipping as a location to re-stock fresh food and fuel, and make repairs after trips around Cape Horn. In April 1982 Argentine forces invaded and after a short military campaign Britain regained control in June 1982. In 1990 the Argentine congress declared the Fallands and Dependencies as the province Tierra del Fuego.
