Resumen
Tradicionalmente la presencia británica en el cono sur de Sudamérica durante la época colonial se asocia con propósitos corsarios. Sin embargo, durante alrededor de 300 años tuvieron un vivo, aunque intermitente, interés en la conquista de posiciones con especial atención
al estrecho de Magallanes. Al final del siglo XVIII, se transfirió este interés a las Islas Falklands o Malvinas ya que permitieron no sólo vigilar el Estrecho sino también la ruta alrededor del cabo de Hornos.
Traditionally, the British presence in the southern cone of South America during the colonial period has been associated almost exclusively with privateering. Nevertheless, during almost 300 years, they had an active, although intermittent interest in the conquest of territories with special attention being paid to the Magellan strait. Towards the end of the XVIII century, this interest was transferred to the Falkland Islands, as they permitted the surveillance of the route around Cape Horn as well as that through the Strait.
