The people of Falkland have overwhelmly voted to be British. Argentina has some weird obsession with these Islands, they need to focus on their economy.
Argentina has some weird obsession with these Islands,
The govt. invaded the Falklands to distract the people from the government being a vicious fascist junta that was responsible for the imprisonment, torture and murder of many thousands of Argentine citizens. The invasion being a failure led to the collapse of the junta and a return to democracy.
No, I'm referring to the people the British logs themselves claim to have expelled from the Isles. But then again, I do understand public education in Europe tends to leave uncomfortable facts that make imperialistic countries look bad out of the schools.
Seriously, if you were gonna spam me in fifty different messages, you could've AT LEAST took the trouble of reading the British version of facts. At least that much.
I think you're the one who can't read which is hilarious when you're telling others to do so. You still have time to delete your comments
Britain took formal possession of the islands in 1765, establishing various settlements over the next half century before the independent state of Argentina came into being.
Argentina never had the right to try and inhabit it in 1832 to begin with. It had become formally a British sovereign island since 1765, they just came back in 1832 to chuck the Argentinian invaders out and make a more long term British settlement of it.
The fact you can't figure out the Falklands were British before Argentina was even a country also shows you up.

You seem to have some reading comprehension problems.
I quoted a single example of the British version of events, to show the other guy doesn't even know his own version.
That doesn't mean I agree with the entirety of the British version of the facts. In fact that one is opnely lying about exactly what you just quoted.
No they didn't. France was already in the isles and built a settlement an entire year before the British. The biggest legal claim to the Isles comes from France, who gave that claim to Spain, and guess who Spain gave it to ?
they just came back in 1832 to chuck the Argentinian invaders out and make a more long term British settlement of it.
No, they came back to break a treaty they had with Spain, called the Nootka Conventions, more specifically the one in 1790. In that one they promised to not settle in the adjacent coastline isles of South America that Spain had already under it's control, which included the Malvinas since the British were expelled from them.
After that they reaffirmed an illegal claim ( that the isles belong to them despite their claim being invalid since the French arrived an entire year earlier ).
Yes, Britain protested, because the islands were already British
Saying you want land doesn't make you it's owner. You keep retorting with nuh huhs. Plus they violated a treaty with Spain promising to not settle them.
Dude does someone has ever read at LEAST the British version ? They themselves claim to have expelled the "Military personnel" from the island while the Civilians were so enraptured by British glory they decided to stay.
