A greatly abbreviated history. One important point overlooked is that the United Kingdom never recognized the Spanish claim. The British claim is based on prior discovery, not on settlement after the Argentine garrison was evicted. It was actually the US Navy and Marines that evicted the garrison, because they had captured a US ship.

Another thing usually overlooked is that when Argentina tried to assert their claim by military force, they invaded South Georgia as well as the Falklands/Malvinas. There was no Spanish or Argentine history whatsoever in S. Georgia. That island wasn’t even in the Spanish zone defined by the Pope. The Argentine invasion of S. Georgia was purely a matter of conquest which they thought would not be resisted. It is proof that despite their attempts at legal justification, they are just belligerent.

Actually, I never argue for the South Georgia Sandwich Islands. I'm of the belief the Malvinas in all fairness should be divided in two. The Western Island to the Argentine. Same thing with the Antarctic territory, find a line and end these ridiculous bullying confrontations, and Sandwich South Georgia relinquished as part of that negotiation. That's what I think.

@F.B.I By they way. Argentina, being an equal country in right honor and integrity to the United States or any other nation on our planet, does not "whine" sir. Do you think America is capable at all o ever no longer being a delusionally supremacist bigoted nation about so many other societies and countries in the world? I personally believe that once nations acquire the cultural personality produced by having been a warring country which honed a condescending and often bullying people, it no longer has the ability of perceiving itself before normalcy and starts forgetting how to respect and honor other countries, their history and their destiny. Especially after processing and digesting the acceptance of having killed with fire thousands of truly innocent grandparents, babies and children with the single act of two bomb drops, for having its people shown explicit pictures of it. ... There comes a point where its no longer possible to maintain the normal human absolution of our own wrongdoings, and something gives way in order to save us from living in shame. As a result things like glorifying war and its cultural pageantries enrich and grow, or if there is a Hollywood industry, the country may do it there. We may become more despotic, less able to revisit our past injustices, where before we held more virtuous fairness towards other countries. So tragic isn't it? So tragic at least after having lived the illusion we had almost arrived! Almost became the "good leaders" until all those shots were fired, and the power of money became once more the protagonist of our decisions.

Once HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales are fully equipped with F-35B, it’s time to deploy them to the Falklands once in a while to remind those to the west of the islands who still harbour the dream of retaking the Falklands and to show that who is the boss in the south Atlantic.

Sorry to be picky, you are correct that there is 778 Islands but the square milage is 4700 miles (size of Northern Island or Belgium. Also the French did settle in 1764 and the Brits 6 months later in January 1765. It should be noted that Captain John Strong from the ship Welfare claimed the Islands in 1690.

So the British empire technically still exists, which also means the French empire still exists

Who would want to be part of Argentina anyway! Unstable and faild state. The Annual inflation Rate in Argentina skyrocketed by 115.6 percent in June 2023 following 114.2 percent jump in May of 2023. It marked the highest level since 1991 as the economy is struggling with hyperinflation

3 Islanders lost their lives due to bombardment of Argentine positions by British Ships, the rest of the lives lost were Argentinian and British Service Personnel.

The British were kicked out by the Spanish in 1778 and did not return until 1833 who were there since 1820. Since Argentina continously protested the British occupation since the invasion in 1833 gives Argentina claim to the islands. You argue about the UN Resolution? Well - look to who controls the UN.

Britain made the first claim and have defended their claim since 1690, albeit late in one or two incidents. Argentina’s only arguments are “it’s closer” (a legal argument already discredited by the ICJ) and by inheritance, despite Spain not controlling them when they became a country.

I think you need to read up on the Arana-Southern Treaty in 1850, once signed Argentina did not protest the British presence on the Falklands again until 1888. The Argentine government did not discuss the matter again until 1941 in the Argentine Congress. Further proven by the Latzina Map, published the Argentine Foreign Ministry in 1882 and clearly showing that the Falklands are not Argentine. The map was used to prove that the Beagle Islands belonged to Chile in a 1977 arbitration by the ICJ, and why Argentina has consistently refused British invitations to take the matter of the Falklands to the ICJ.

@@matthewburden9403 you seem to be grasping, which is understandable, considering Argentina's complete lack of any credible claim to the Falklands. The first point I would like to make is that the Arana-Southern Treaty shows that you are uneducated or actively lying in your comment; "Argentina continuously protested the British occupation since the invasion of 1833", that is not true and is proven to be not true. As I have previously stated, the Latzina Map has been used in court already, in a ruling by the ICJ in 1977. Clearly Argentina did not think the ICJ was "controlled" and biased then, just like you don't now. The reason Argentina refuses every British request for arbitration by the ICJ is because the Argentine government knows its claim will be proven to be false. Yet, the Argentine government has successfully used the Falklands to distract Argentines from government incompetence for years, and they do not want to lose such a useful distraction tool. As for your somewhat pedantic argument about flags, if the Russians had discovered, fought for and paid for it, and there were eight generations of Russians living on the North Pole then yes, they would have a right to be there. The ridiculous argument is Argentina's, 'the islands are closer to us so they are ours'. Childish and pathetic, proximity is not a case for ownership, if you leave your phone at my house it does not become mine because I'm closer. Moreover, this would mean that Ireland belongs to the UK as Ireland is closer to the UK than Argentina is to the Falklands, also France for the same reason, also Spain and Portugal, all of which are closer together than Argentina and the Falklands. Your inferiority complex is causing you to embarrass yourself, move on with your life.

@@jackwhitehead5233 Proximity to any physical mass has nothing to do with our so-called new term "geo-politics" unless you are referring to only the laws of gravity which you do not think beyond. Spain, France, and Britain all abandoned the islands for their own reasons with Britain absent for over a half-century since they could no longer defend or exploit it and then coming back in 1833 to take it from the weak and inferior Argentine inhabitants with the powers-to-be looking the other way to date, as they done with so many other injustices. You seem to like redundancies, as a continuous protest by a person or nation-state need not be constantly rehashed unless it is by a British politician. Also, as I was trying to say during several encounters with you - the UN and its ICJ are hardly unbiased institutions as we both know who controls them or should I educate you about that, then exposing your ignorance is hardly by one having an inferiority complex.

@@liberatoar The UN says lots of things, some of which make sense and some of which don't. This is no surprise, as it represents a diverse range of countries, including relatively stable liberal democracies like the UK, blood-soaked totalitarian dictatorships like China and Iran, and unstable would-be imperialistic powers like Argentina. The objective truth is that the Falklanders elect their own government and pass their own laws. It's also the objective truth that they had a referendum in which 99% of both native Falklanders and long-term residents voted to retain their current constitutional arrangements. It's a free country and they want to stay that way. And of course you're a potential menace - your benighted country openly wants to colonise the Falklands - it's even written into your constitution. You've invaded the Falklands once already in recent history, and left your dead in shallow graves all over the camp. Your children are indoctrinated with this mad imperialist dream, so your government will have plenty of cannon fodder available if they ever see a chance to have another go. And we know from past experience that the Argentine political class has no regard for the lives of their own troops - they just see them as expendable pawns. Argentina could be a great country - you've got plenty of natural resources, a reasonable sized population and you're in a good geographical position - but that will never happen until you get rid of the mad dogs who run your country, give up the imperial dream, recognise the Falklanders' right of self-determination and learn to get on with your neighbours like a civilised nation.

When your government does it, thousands gather in Buenos Aires to cheer them on. It might well have been before your time, but I remember the news coverage of all those thousands of goons cheering in support of Galtieri's war of aggression - they were just as guilty as the junta.

Every scumbag who supported the invasion of the Falklands has Argentine, as well as British, blood on their hands.

Very misleading, biased and misinforming . The Islands from the beginning were internationally considered to be within the "Spanish realm" of South America. Very likely sighted first not by a British, they were most likely discovered by Portuguese or Spanish sailors. Spain laid claim through treaties that were being effectuated among the colonial Empires at the time. ~ It is sad to see how Britain mocks and uses "device-ively" principals and instruments of democracy to create informal propaganda and mislead world public opinion, so successfully abusing our dominion of world communications; as one can plainly see reading the internet these days. I myself actually become very offended when I see the trickery of using easy to miss-rationalize and easy to applaud political campaign type "slogans", nearly, such as "the self-determination rights of a people are paramount", as if the context of the development of our 3000 year old civilization, or the emergence of constitutional nations in the Americas was meaningless and irrelevant. 1) The relationship between all our governments which lead and administrate their people, precede the "territorial wishes" of a people when they do not process that wish or in this case, the resolution of a 188 year old dispute, through their ruling government FIRST. We as a humanity have designed the world this way, and have put government as the people's instrument above ourselves, working into it steering and modifying, or changing means. But still the order of authority between one people, and another nation's people must pass through their respective governments, including the resolution of a conflict between them. Seems simple and basic enough, yes? Well, the ignorant stupidity we see on the internet these days regarding this particular aspect of this conflict IS A DIRECT result of British world propaganda against Argentina, through using the English language to define the conflict to the world in a way that makes Britain and the Islanders seem righteous victims of an abusive Argentina, when Britain was the first one to use fire power and military forcefulness in this dispute, thus starting the problem at a much greater scale in 1833. 2) The People on the Falkland/Malvinas islands are not separately sovereign, moreover they were intentionally brought to the islands AFTER AFTER AFTER, the Argentine governmental representation was forcefully removed off the islands by the British MILITARY in 1833, mainly to secure the Islands against what obviously was proving to be the natural and historical political and social "gravitational pull" for the Islands to be included in the Argentine territory since its conception and creation, through a period in which the British had decided to no longer stand up to challenge Spain over the islands. 55 years after they abandoned their settlement and saw the Argentine had been left alone and defenseless on the islands, without Spain's support any longer after that country had lost to Argentina's war of independence, they saw a window of opportunity they could not pass up as it was fairly certain Argentina would never be able to put up a fight against them anytime soon. Plus they were already involved in manipulative political relationships with 'some' political figures of that country, starting a two faced phony blackmailing scheme of "financial commercial favors for silencing the islands dispute", that has plagued to this day a constantly growing and wanting to catch up to Europe Argentina, in the classical manner in which Britain has always fueled and cost horribly taxing wars and wedges between and within countries in a peace desiring South America, since their wars of independence were over.

First of all, not before the French because actual living settlement is the only base for sovereignty that matters. Just because you spot something with a telescope or you set your foot down on a beach does not give you the right to possess land. So the French were the first rightful settlers. They later transferred fair and square to the Spanish and Britain was not even in the picture until Spain decided to protest Port Egmont based on old agreements about the So Hemisphere. Britain did not want to leave so they had a skirmish. Britain tried to return but then decided to honor Spanish right, recognized agreements, AND LEFT. End of story. Chapter two Argentina is not Spain, but Argentina was already in charge of running the Islands when Spain lost to the Argentine and left. France was not "OK" with the British being there, you just made that up. Always lying like a typical Brit. Argentina established an administrative office and people living on the islands, and that is the only thing that matters. Britain cowardly went and saw the opportunity now that Spain had left and more than likely promised in secret it would not defend the islands, to take them from the defenseless Argentine, after very likely Silas Duncan 's event was indirectly communicated to the British, leaving their work cut out for them. RATS "corrupt latinos" ??? Bigoted pig. Obviously prejudiced supremacist bigotry IS what is behind Britain's horrific record in its treatment of nearly every people's country in the world.
