Before the Catastrophe
The Falkland Islands were first colonized in the mid 1700s by French, British, and Spanish settlers sparking crisis's over the island. After a several decades the islands were once again uninhabited by 1811. The islands were used as a safe haven for many ships seeking shelter around Cape Horn. After several attempts to recolonize the islands by the neighboring states the British returned in 1833. Private enterprise established Port Stanley in 1834 and it became the capital of the Islands.
During the Catastrophe
The Catastrophe caused a sudden change that few people were prepared for. Thankfully due to the desolate nature of the Falklands they were mostly unharmed, though the neighboring nations not so much. With the new land bridge to the mainland established the colony began rendering aid to the locals, and several people began immigrating to Stanley. The city grew quickly over the next several decades and slowly began to create a unique culture. The sparsely populated region was bolstered with the sudden arrival of the Far-Humans, many of whom choose to live away from the human population centers.
After the Catastrophe
While previously the islands had been a part of the British Crown Territories, the Catastrophe had cut them off and they had slowly drifted apart. Due to this the region officially declared Independence, naming itself the Shogunate of Falklandia. Exploration of the new world was taken with gusto, with ships going out to colonize islands and study the southern continent to which they were now attached. Several expedition outposts were set up along the coast and before long the entire southern continent had been claimed by Falklandia. In 1911 the first expedition was sent to find the South Pole, which succeeded with minor fatalities.
