      @@pabloorqueraisa8898 This is a lie. The Falklands were already owned by the British at that time. A foreign businessman based in the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata established a settlement in the Falklands with the permission of the British government. The UP government then illegally gave this businessman the title of governor, and he took to committing acts of piracy against American sealing ships, presumably to enforce his monopoly on that industry. The US Navy retaliated, and a small Royal Navy force restored law and order in 1833. They wanted to keep a viable settlement there, so they paid the South American workers to stay. The only people expelled were a UP military force that had illegally established themselves there - and that was mostly made up of British mercenaries. Argentina has no valid claim.

    As an Argentinian, there is one way to know the owner of the islands. The one who obtains them by war, colonization, interchange or money. And England is there from 1830, Argentina wasn't even a nation. The fact that the Islands are closer to Argentina than the uk isn't an argument. There are plenty of cases around the world like Canarias Islands, St Helena, Easter Islands, the virgin islands, etc. And here in Argentina we have a colonization history as well, the Patagonia was full of natives and we just started going down and killing those people, and same with Paraguay. But what else can we wait from cheap nationalism?
    The people are British. Period.

A su ves los isleños no son un pueblo preexistente, son súbitos del Reino Unido y muchos ciudadanos de la metrópolis. Decis que fue supervisado por observadores, si es verdad, de paises a los que se les convenció para que asistan tras la visita del primer ministro británico y fueron muy pocos , los de siempre, mas algunos que se agregaron, como uno se puede imaginar.La consulta fue dirigida por Brad Smith de EEUU ( el principal aliado de G,B en la guerra de Malvinas) y solamente asistieron observadores de Canadá, Chile ( otro aliado de G,B. al que la reina le dio gracias por la ayuda prestada tras la detención de Pinochet en Londres) , Uruguay, Paraguay y Nueva Zelandia. Votaron solamente 13 argentinos que estan trabajando allá y lo hicieron por una necesidad económica, nada mas (ver declaraciones de varios de ellos en visitas a Argentina cuando se les preguntó al respeto) En cuanto a guerreros imperialistas, me parece que no te conviene meterte en este terreno, si hay un pais imperialista, colonialista, que ocupó gran parte del mundo y aún mantiene colonias, que hizo del tráfico de esclavos algo habitual, que sometió a sus conquistados es Gran Bretaña, y no Argentina, pero bueno se nota que tenes una visión muy parcial de la historia y no te juzgo.

      @joe caterman it was a series of unfortunate events. It wasn't that the British sent mixed signals, it was that the British never really cared about the islands way before that. It is said that during WW2 Churchill said that if the argentines occupied the islands, islanders were on their own, because the UK wasn't going to go all the way down there to defend a few shepherds. The thing was that Thatcher's popularity was so low at the time that she needed that boost, she had been doing horribly and people started to hate her. And in Argentina it was sort of the same, people didn't really give a crap about the islands but the government tricked to do so through propaganda, because they too needed a popularity boost and thought the islands would be an easy and quick way of reassuring themselves.
      You could say the British ended argentine dictatorship, and argentines should be thankful for that.

Talking about politics, both the argentinean and the british government are making amazing progress to identify the fallen soldiers in the war and bring them back to their countries. So far, they achieved to repatriate the body of an argentinean soldier buried in the islands since the war's end. I hope this is the first of many collaborations between Argentina and the UK.

      I'm British and old enough that I grew up at the time the war happened and it's aftermath. Here in the UK the Falklands are still a pretty hot topic and when May spoke with your president, people were getting very worried she was going to give them up like she has pretty much done with Gibraltar the week before.
      When ever I have spoken to any British servicemen who served during the war, they all talk of the bravery of your soldiers and are disgusted how their officers left them to rot and die. I admit I have a very strong dislike towards the attitude of your previous governments at using the islands as a way to distract you when things are going really bad. I hope one day that all the family members who lost their loved ones in the war, can get them back on their home soil.
      I'm just glad that another attempt on the islands is not impossible, as the loss of life would be so pointless. Our countries are better off just moving on from the past (and the cheating in the 86 world cup) and let these people live their lives in peace.

La Guerra empezó meses antes cuando un contingente británico tomó las Islas Georgias poco antes de la guerra. Las islas estaban bajo control efectivo de la Argentina desde los setentas. Reporteros de guerra de la BBC de Londres llegaron a Buenos Aires un mes antes del desembarco de abril del 82 en Malvinas. Evidentemente hay cosas que no se están contando en su totalidad. Sería bueno que los ingleses suelten el archivo de Estado sobre esa guerra que ya se debería haber liberado después de 30 años pero prorrogaron por algunas décadas más. ¿Porqué será?

    Argentina never had the islands, they have no claim to them either. The people on the island are 100% British because the British are the only people to have colonised them. The Islands were British before Argentina ever existed.
    Argentina has no claim whatsoever over these Islands and have no right to make such claims. It is insulting beyond belief to Britain, when Argentinians even so much as talk of this matter.
    Britains have died over Argentina’s ignorance and arrogance. It is inconceivable that any of them would still dare to bring this matter up again. They should know that Great Britain will ruthlessly fight them if they ever try to return again. It is British soil.

    The section about the conflict was pretty inaccurate. The British didn't "show up 3 days later" but they sailed off to the Falklands (which was pretty quick already) after roughly that time and took several weeks for the voyage.
    And the fighting was not "mainly around Stanley" but in many places in and around the archipelago.

      I don't see this as a valid reason.
      The locals who run those islands with high autonomy want no such sharing. And looking at the Argentinian economy, Argentina can't even manage herself properly - which was the reason why the junta chose the Falklands as a distraction from their awful repressive policies and stagflationary misery.

    As an argentinian I just wanna say, that some of my people feel very agitated about the islands because it was a real tragedy to our people. They forced 18 year olds to go to war, and the others who volunteered were lied to, they were told they were going to win, that they had all the equipment necessary for the cold temperatures, and they didn't. They had to drink their own piss cause they didn't even have water. The president was telling everyone at home that we were winning, we were defeating the british... it was truly devastating.
    But I as an Argentinian understand that territories are mostly decided by conflict, so we can only try with diplomacy to get them back, and I know we'll never get them back, and that's fine. We need to respect both sides, Argentinian soldiers were massacred and lied to, and nowadays there are residents who represent as falklanders, so even if my coutnry wants the islands back, we can't kick all the population, it's simply not right.

    I am from Argentina. It is worth to mention that the war broke out when Argentina was ruled by a dictatorship who went to war so people could focus on something else rather than what was going on, also to unite the Argentinians by giving them a common goal, to win the war. It was stupid to fight the war, but it wasn't a clear victory for England. Everyone knew they were gonna win but they were about to surrender since this crappy island were not worth the trouble. Kids from ages 18-25 were forced to fight in the war without having any experience and houndreds died. Margaret Thatcher also benefited from this since she was having a bad government so this helped her to gain more popularity. The father of a friend of my father fought there and he was in charge of the submarines. He was captured but was never mistreated in any way, he was given food and water and even ate with the English. The amount of respect shown by the English struck him and after the war ended some Argentinians and English went and congratulated each other, since they knew this happened for 2 crappy governments. Anyways, I have a lot of stories about The Falklands or Islas Malvinas. Nice day everyone.

      Actually it´s more complex than that. The UN doesn´t validate souverignty from that. In any colony. They are british because in 1833 the Brits invaded it and threw out the argentine settlers and governor. And the islands stayed british because they won the 1982 evitable war. If the UK and the US wouldn´t run the west with their bully-like colonisation policy the war wouldn´t have even existed, cause the UN recognized a conflict in 1965, asking the UK to solve it with Argentina. Which, of course, it never happened. Brits are so superior and entitled to invade and colonise...

    Argentina's strongest claim to the Falklands is... the Falklands are closer to Argentina than the UK. That's it. That is the whole of their claim. It was NEVER Argentinian and, get this, The Falklands were settled by the British BEFORE ARGENTINA EVEN FRICKING EXISTED. In a local referendum in 2013 only THREE PEOPLE voted against the Islands remaining British. ONLY THREE PEOPLE on the islands voted against British sovereignty. 99.8% of the population voted to remain British. Argentina is high on its own supply. This is none of their business, end of discussion.

      The colony was actually developed in the 19th Century to provide damaged ships with a safe harbour and place to make repairs after being damaged going round Cape Horn (a common occurrence before the Panama Canal). It also became a centre for the whaling and sealing industries (both thankfully now gone). The main industry by the 80s was sheep farming. Since the war, the economy has become more diversified, with revenues coming in from fishing rights and tourism, and prospect of quite a lot of money coming in from the oil industry in the near future. But yes, the Falklands does look a lot like the British Isles - and it has the sort of climate only a Brit could feel at home in!

    Lets put it this way, the Islanders are more British than the British. If Argentina wants those Islands they would basically have to commit mass displacement of the natives, i.e a lesser form of genocide, to get it.
    And on that note, I find you calling them settlers extremely insulting. It's like calling Native Americans settlers. Not a single indigenous group had lived on the Island, the British were the first people to settle the Island which makes them the natives.

      I'm an archive librarian whose main area is 19th/20th century UK societal and pop culture history. Hate to burst your bubble but the idyllic Britain your Grandad talked to you about absolutely did not exist for all bar the wealthier middle classes in the UK. People lived under a hugely suffocating regime of intolerance and compliance to an unwritten code of lifestyle. In working class areas, a young man with any ambition of an education would rarely be encouraged and would be viewed by the residents of his street has having fancy notions above his station. A father of such a young man would be 'encouraged' by the neighbours to 'bring him down a peg or two' while any young woman who went that bit extra with her appearance, trod a very dangerous line of being labelled a hussy. Once that badge was applied, it could haunt a woman for the rest of her life. Indeed, up until the 1920s in many working class communities in the UK, a woman would be expected to cover her hair with a shawl. Only a harlot would wear her hair loose. People most certainly weren't friendlier either. In most working class communities, violence was such a common occurrence that the police didn't intervene unless someone was killed or close to it. Disputes were frequent and were usually settled through violence. If a neighbour gave you a beating, you sucked it up and the next time you met them on the street, you doffed your cap and showed that 'friendliness' your Grandad told you about. It wasn't uncommon for the matriarchs of the street to advise a young newly wed husband to 'let his young bride know whose boss' from an early stage. And yes that meant beating her into shape just for things like not washing the front step or wearing her hair in a fancy style, or having a hemline just that little bit shorter. Basically anything that made the middle aged women of the street frown with disapproval. Any rebellious young couple who tried to defy such restrictions could find themselves homeless and jobless if they weren't careful. Any glance through the pages of the local newspapers held in the British newspaper archive would shock any 21st century reader fed on notions of how wonderful community life was in pre 1955 Britain.

      @@TheGiantKillers I should probably give some background on my family to counter your argument, We're bumpkins mate! what you are referring to sounds like a major city issue and not so much a countryside thing, it was the farm and then the pub for family entertainment for us working class and rarely you had an asshole come along like the ones you mentioned above. I can assure you there was far less domestic abuse than you claim! I think what you are referring to actually describes the upper classes and drunkards better than the average brit pal, not all of our ancestors were violent women beaters, in fact I'd argue the majority were not. There is no way you can convince me the mass building of estates and retail premises has made my little part of Britain a better place, with it has come far more violence, "Diversity" and crime.

      @@jason6848 Indeed, there is no way any individual can convince another that nostalgia impacts our perception of history. And I suspect you wouldn't be interested in any documentary evidence I could present to support my counter argument. As with any opinion, the onus rests with the individual themselves to challenge the strength of their belief through research of the subject matter. No opinion on any subject carries any value until it has been studied to see if it 'stacks up' so to speak. If you genuinely want to test the weight of your opinion, my recommendation would be to research the papers of Margaret MacMillan whom, I've found to be the leading and most knowledgeable 20th century historian of any I've had the pleasure to study under.

    The reason they seem more British than Britain itself is because they are Victorian citizens: one of the only Victorian settlements left in the world that still have their old traditions and interaction with each other.

      @@specialunit0428 ahhh I get you. Sadly that isn't true, we don't sound or act victorian. Just that woman in the video does. There's a very specific 'kelper' accent. I don't know how to describe it. It's quite nasally, and subtly a mix of English, Scottish and slightly kiwi sounding at times.
