England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.

In contrast to the falklands that isn’t part of england, and never has been.

  • That's true in the sense that the Falklands have never been legally part of England. But Britain has exercised control over them since the 1760s, with interruptions, and they’re still a British Overseas Territory today. So saying they've never been British would be inaccurate, but saying they're "part of England" would also be inaccurate.
