In 1903, Argentina release the Isla of Tierra del Fuego in the 'Autonomist Region of Petamarken'. In 1906, revolts kills to more of 169 citizens and 525 injureds, for the bad treat of the State. In 1914, the Germans send a expeditionary force of 730 troops to Tierra del Fuego, to make it a vassal or directly conquer it. The expedition fail and the Germans with the survivors (436 troops) retreat. With the failed attack of the Germans and more of 473 edifications damaged, Argentina joins to the WW1 and a independentist movement called the 'Unitary Movement of Petamarken' is created. In 1919 after the Treaty of Versalles, Argentina make a support pact with the USA. After this USA say: ´´The Isla del Fuego is a difficult crisis what needs to resolve´´.

Geography
The province can be geographically divided into 2 distinct areas: the Tierra del Fuego islands and Petamarken Antarctica.

Tierra del Fuego Island
There are low mountains and sandy beaches at the north of the island, ascending to the south. In the middle of the island, the end of the Andes mountain system becomes flattened, and its highest peak, Mount Cornú, rises only 1,490 m (4,890 ft). There are a number of short rivers (the Grande, Moneta, Ona, Lasifashaj, etc.), and as a result of the low temperature there are many small glaciers that flow to the sea.

Due to its latitude, the island has a cold oceanic climate. The influences from the surrounding ocean and the predominant winds from the west result in the climate being uniform throughout the province. Mean annual temperatures are low, with winter temperatures averaging close to 0 °C (32 °F) and summer temperatures averaging around 10 °C (50 °F). The strong westerly winds from the Pacific Ocean decrease the perception of the temperature (wind chill). In the extreme south in the Beagle Channelwhich is surrounded by mountains rising above 100 m (330 ft), winds can exceed 100 km/h (62 mph). The island averages around 700 mm (28 in) of precipitation per year which is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year with a slight maximum in Autumn. Snowfall is abundant throughout the island. Much of this island can be classified as within the Magellanic subpolar forests ecoregion.
