The falklands are British. It dont matter spaniards were there long time ago, The english defeated them 150 years ago. The will of the people are that they want to be british nationals and they have been living there for hundreds of years so.....
@ClassicSuperSongs brilliant logic...english defetead spaniards 150 years ago so , by your logic, if the Argentines had won the fight means that falckand should belong to them :D LOL
Best Argentina can hope for is a long game PR strategy aiming towards an eventual "one country, two systems" approach used by China. Even with that, unless and until they win over the islanders, nothing's going to change. That said, everyone has their price - I'd imagine it would be rather interesting to see the results if every islander was offered two million USD in exchange for their votes in any future referendum. Looking at around 6 billion USD to pay off the 3,000 or so islanders.
@sjgl8032 That is a good idea - in fact there was a proposal in Japan on the Kurile Islands along those lines. I would like to see some compensation for the war first though, so far Argentina has not paid a penny.
argentinos .. les digo de todo corazon que dejen a los habitantes de las malvinas en paz, ellos quieren seguir siendo ingleses no argentinos. es como el problema de colombia y nicaragua a pesar de que nicaragua esta mas cerca son tierras colombianas simplemente por que sus habitantes quieren ser colombianos no nicaraguenses. nota : colombia nunca apoyara a la argentina ya que se estaria poniendo la soga al cuello .
Argentinos... deberían aprender de nosotros. Cuando nosotros les "regalamos" la patagonia , nos quedamos callados , no se hablo mas del tema y nos evitamos un montón de problemas.
Hagan lo mismo con los Británicos y sucederá lo mismo. ;)

I AM ENGLISH AND WHAT THE FUCK DO WE GOT TO DO IN SOUTH AMERICA??? I HATE MY GOVERMENT! FALKLANDS ISLANDS IS CLOSEST TO ARGENTINA AND BELONGS TO ARGETINA! ENGLAND GET THE FUCK OUT OF ALL YOUR THE FALKLANDS!
@Paralyzer why should we hand back a soverign territory when the people who live there want to be british. And before you reply saying that its closest to argentina ect, how about the spanish and portugese invaders give back south america to the amerindians then we will give it back to them aswell. The fact of the matter is argentina has no right to the falklands, argentina didnt even exsist when the british took over the falklands.
@Paralyzer so if Canada/US decide they want to take over St. Pierre & Miquelon they are well within their right to do so because it's 'closer' to that homeland? GROMMET, Y U GET ON INTERNET AND MAKE UNEDUCATED COMMENTS
@MrOldPenguin england IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN! THE FALKLANDS ISLANS IS CLOSEST TO ARGENTINA! IT BELONGS TO ARGENTINA! why did the brittish leave hong kong a few years ago. because they had no business being there!
@Paralyzer Not very smart are you? The Falklands are hundreds of miles from Argentina, hardly close. Plus, they can't claim land by geographical proximity. It's like saying the UK should claim Paris. A few years ago?! The transfer of sovereignty to China happend in 1997! And the reason the sovereignity was handed back over to China was because Britain only leased it for 99 years and those 99 years were up. Get your facts right, moron.
@MrOldPenguin now I am conviced you are a moron, what you wrote to me was this and I quote you "The Falklands are hundreds of miles from Argentina, hardly close." WELL ITS CLOSER TO THE FALKLANDS THAN ENGLAND ISNT IT. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FUCKING ATLANTIC OCEAN" god youre dumb as a horse backs side
@ezefal The Falklands aren't part of Argentina. I think Argentina's education system needs to include history that is actually true. The Falkland islanders want to remain British and it is their right to choose their future. Argentina is not included in it's future.
@MrOldPenguin the UN will decide that not 100 hundred kelpers or a British Empire who have people camping begging for jobs in the streets... while the prime minister send a 1 billion battleship, that is incredible, and I don´t know really why the people there allow this. So I must to say "you are right"? while I saw that in your country? are you more sane than us in the UK? you talk about perfect democracies while still have a queen who lives for free from your taxes? I don´t think so.
@ezefal Last time I checked, it was the Argies that were the ones begging in the street. As for our Queen, she is part of our heritage and does a fair bit for our country. Even in here twilight years she still works tirelessly unlike you I'll wager.
@Fisurame Si tu no eres responsable podrias hacer algo por los aborgines. Devuelve su tierra a los nativos. Pagales compensacion por tu ocupacion. Vuelve de donde vienes.
@Fisurame Si, se termino el colionialsmo, pero las tierras de America del Sur estan todavia ocupados por los colionialistas que vinieron de sobre todo Italia y Espańa que las robaron de los indigenos. La poblacion de las Malvinas, por contrario, no robaron di nadie. Uruguay no es tu tierra, es la tierra de los indigenos, asasinados por tus abuelos. Vuelve a tu casa en Europa - Uruguay no es tu tierra, es la tierra de los americanos.
@alanheath3 con todo respeto te digo que estás equivocado. Americano es aquel que nace, crece, trabaja y da su vida por América, seas de origen indígena o europeo, además, caray, ya somos todos mestizos.

@Novapersei Los aborgines no lo vean de esta forma y entiendo su punto di vista. Los europeos vinieron y robaron su tierra. Hay muchos mestizos en Peru, Ecuador, Colombia ecc pero hay pocissimos nativos en los paises del sur de America del Sur.
@KiwiTomCrawford Here you can hear very clearly the imperialist conception. The word used is 'recuperación' - recapture. As he goes on to explain, brainwashing begins at infant school. This argument is because a German adventurer formed a colony there and the government of the United Provinces appointed him governor - although this 'governor' recognised British sovereignty.
One thing we can be certain of is that the ancestors of Carlos Busser were somewhere in Europe at the time.
@Andreazor And what other word would you consider correct for those attempting to increase their national territory by force and subjugating the natives of those territories?
@Carbonite2008 I agree. The territories occupied in south America by imperialists who came mainly from Italy and Spain. I think the native Americans do not think much of this European imperialism.
@alanheath3 by technicallity the current inhabitants of the falklands are the indigenous inhabitants they are descended from the first people of the area, we know from census records that some are even directly decended from crew of the 1592 john davis expidition, the un recognizes that even temporary settlement, as much is seen through out the pacific where an island will simply be useds to resupply, the first people there are still the indigenous, and we know that is the british!
@KiwiTomCrawford Yes, they are the indigenous inhabitants. Unlike those who live in Argentina who are colonial settlers who displaced the native inhabitants.
@alanheath3 and of course as indigenous peoples, the UN grants them certain rights, including the right to self determination, and the falkland islanders have determined that they are as much britain as bristol or york, they wish to remain british.
@alanheath3 they have also self determined that they are not a colony because they have full parliamentary representation, and they are not a dependance because they are not dependant on the uk mainland, indeed the falklands are one of the few areas of the united kingdom that operate at a surplus, if anything the rest of the UK is a dependancy of the falklands, but of course the falklands do not see it like that, they simply see it as them being a part of britain.
@alanheath3 defence spending is at the cost of the falklanders, they maintain their own defence force, and the MOD rents farm land in the falklands for 1200 troops to train on, because in the uk, such vast expanses of land are hard to come by, so they are actually at a surplus, quite a large surplus. even if you keep in defence spending they are at a large surplus.
@purewaves1 What does 'snag' mean in this context?
This was one of the first documentaries I converted from VHS to digital. The computer was not up to it unfortunately. Nor was my knowledge on how to do it.
@purewaves1 There were four programmes. I did not tape the third. I must have missed it! I 'rediscovered' a pile of VHS cassettes from 1988 - 1992 and I will post as much of what is there as I can - some have been published here!

@rightfredsdead If Churchill did not like you, it would not give him the right to slander you. The same applies to you. Because you don't like him, does not give you the right to lie - although in the perverted world of the haters maybe it does.
@rightfredsdead Churchill was not the Prime Minister when war was declared upon Germany - it was Neville Chamberlain. I hope it was just a lapse of memory rather than shameful ignorance...
@gluepot66 It must be. The UK is on the same continental shelf as France I think you would agree. And you can travel from France to Thailand by bicycle if you were so inclined. Therefore following the imperialist logic that if part of another country is on the same continental shelf as your country, you have the right to invade it.
Churchill (1942, in response to the planned invasion of the Falklands by Pro-German Argentina): "If necessary, we must call the Americans in"...
This man should finally be regarded worldwide as what he really was: an aggressive war criminal. I bet he, with US help, would have razed Buenos Aires to the ground by bombs if Argentina had taken the Malvinas back in 1942
@nordstern1981 Someone is a war criminal for defending national territory from an invasion? The only people I have ever heard say that before were Hitler apologists.
The Nazi regime was a horrible dictatorship, no doubt about that. My point was to say that nobody is 100% perfect or innocent, and that even the oh-so-good Allies did their fair share of crimes during WWII.
Regarding the Falklands issue, I guess I'm more or less neutral, problably with a slight bias towards the British point of view. The Falklands may be strategically important, but otherwise they are merely remote, grassy, stormswept rocks with more sheep than people lving on them.
@Sibs1990 Sent back by who? Your argument reminds me of the Serbs during the Bosnian war. Life maybe cheap in Argentina but it isn't in Britain. These people are British, loyal to the crown, their fathers and grandfathers fought for this country in 1939-45, they live under the protection of British law and administration. There is no way the House of Commons will vote to expell them from the country against their wishes.
Of Brazil. Argentines are an irrational people. Do not take care of their own territory and aconomia in crisis or have rational and honest government. Galtieri wanted due attention to the economic crisis. Solution, take the Falklands. They took a beating and is now impossible. It is easier for Argentina to win the 3rd World Cup than take over the islands. At Mount Pleasant, a base full of SAM missiles, an air defense radar and a 3D squad Panavia Tornado ADV. always outside the nuclear submarine
@KeepEuropeWhite Oh, so that means the Malvinas are ours then, since the first settlement there was Argentine! Thanks for supporting our logic, LOL! Are you even trying?
@ShiningNow The first settlement was French, than British. There were possibly Dutch settlements as well, plus a short lived American settlement. Surely the point is we don't live in 1833, We live in 2011 and any decision must have the support of the people who were born on the islands. To disregard their wishes because of a dispute over what happened in 1833 just sounds crazy and inhuman to British ears.
@rupertbrooks0 And if we are going to go back to 1833 then surely nearly all of those living in Argentina will have to go back to where they came from and give the country back to the native Americans. Of course one does not hear that in the imperialist camp.
@Sibs1990 I suppose that is a better option that the native Americans who lived there were given by the Spanish, Italian (and some British) colonists that lived there.
Basically I think it is they who should go back to where they came from and give the land back to its rightful owners.
Do you all know that yesterday an islander born in Malvinas, son of an islander who fought in the conflict of 1982, became an Argentine citizen? He was born in the islands in 1968 and as you know, the islands are Argentine territory and are part of the Government of Tierra del Fuego so naturally, he applied for the argentine nationality since he is an argentine citizen after all. One day we will celebrate all together. Cheers.
@Sibs1990 Cant you see how ridiculous your own arguments are. It is OK for Alaska to belong to the US because the US bought it (without asking the natives) even though it is closer to Canada and the Faroe Islands are closer to Denmark than the Falklands are to the UK.
Furthermore, the population of Argentina comes mainly from Europe - almost 80% from Spain and Italy.
The population of the Falklands are British and they do not want to be part of Argentina.
@Sibs1990 What has geographical location got to do with it? The Faroe Islands are closer to Britain than they are to Denmark but no-one in the UK claims them because they are not brainwashed from an early age into believing that. Nor do Canadians or Russians claim Alaska.
What I do know, is that the colonists who occupy Argentina today or thousands of km away from where they come from.
many thanks for the videos. A great supplement to the old sunday times team book i am currently reading. i was 13 at the time and the conflict is indelibly seared in my mind.
ive read an argentine novel and several british accounts. many thanks again for your efforts.
@gregorykahndc I sadly agree because our conscript were sent to fing and fend for themselves instead of getting real training (something that the Junta didn`t seem to consider)
@03nj No it is not. And as for wishing death to English dogs, I am sure my Rex is not going to be happy when you said that about him. In fact he may bite you.
@03nj Oh dear, my Rex is really going to get angry with you. And don't think that because you are a pathetic coward hiding behind a false name that you are going to get away with it. He will sniff you out. Cowards like you need to be careful!
Boring, read history, come and take it if you ard hard enough.... i'm too old and fat now to kick your arse as i did in 82, but i am sure a younger fitter version of me will ensure the same result !
@ozoneuser300668 I think he is a native American and he thinks the Spanish and Italian colonists are going to give him his land back. I don't fancy his chances too much.
@alanheath3 As far as I can recall, Italy never colonized Argentina. True, there are lots of people of Italian heritage there, but they got there primarily from fleeing Italy war crime tribunals in 1944-1945.
Leave the Brits alone. The French are in French Guiana, a subject nation of France, so why must the British leave the Falklands? For that matter, what of the Italians, Germans, Portuguese, Spanish and other European descended citizens of South American nations? Shouldn't they leave as well, following the same freakin' logic? What right has Argentina to re-name Islands which have been solidly under British ownership since 1833? None.
@Planetar17 This is a very good point. The natives of the Falkland Islands are British, the natives of Argentina have been hounded into near extinction by the Italian and Spanish settlers who stole their land from them.
@TheRODRIGO3110 You are wrong on that one. The Falkland Islands are not from Argentina nor are the people living there. Curiously enough, the people living in Argentina are from Europe and it is a pity that some of them do not go back to where they came from.
@TheRODRIGO3110 You can insult us all you want, what matters is that a smaller British force kicked the shit out of the Argentine military and held our territory.
@TheRODRIGO3110 You know, you Argentinians, and supporters, really have your heads stuck in the ground. It doesn't matter where a claimed territory is. As long as someone has the power to claim and hold territory they have the full right to hold it. For you Argentinians it is supremely foolish to go against such principles. To defy it like you fools did is like a chicken trying take an island from a pack of lions. But thanks to the same principles you are just in putting down uprisings.
@willitstimothy2 for your information I am Brazilian, I do not know FOLKLANDS this territory in Latin and we will take a day or that Brazil and the rest of South America will help the Argentines, British and arrogant you guys think they rule the world but not so
@TheRODRIGO3110 Actually, we can, we can rule rule the world. EASILY! We can utterly DESTROY anyone who gets in our way. Try fighting when the air is so hot that your body, bones and all, is vaporized.
Since dictatorship was the problem which I aggre . Well Argentina is not a dictatorship anymore, this islanders can live there as british minority in their homeland of Malvines they will have all their propertys and everything but the islands will be Argentinian which makes a lot of sense and international law backs this too .
I bet 7 out of 10 british citizens knows nothing about this Islands
@MeMo5682 The islanders do not want that though and they are the ones that matter. International law backs thier right to self determination.
I expect you are wrong with that stat at the end too, the war in 1982 has made any handover of sovereignty to Argentina political suicide for any party in the UK, even if they were willing to turn thier backs on the islanders.
@MeMo5682 Seven out of ten British do know now but that is only because of the aggression in 1982. People in this country are not brainwashed into imperial ambitions, we do not claim the Faroe Islands and anyone who did would rightly be the subject of laughter.
I know of no international law which backs the imperialist claim on the Falkland Islands and the error was made in the invasion in the first place which has made any Argentinian annexation in the future politically impossible.
As a socialist it makes me vomit to see how many "comrades" would have happily let the islanders lose thier homeland, and possibly thier lives to a military fascist dictatorship who murdered thousands of thier own citizens.
As for Dr Mendez, it is not a mystery, the people THAT LIVE THERE wish to remain as they are, international law backs that wish, so please with great respect, fuck off.
If you reply to my message at list say something about it.........unless you got nothing to say ............I understand you, its a bit hard to deny all that ......
and by the way im not muslim .but even if I was, am I suposed to be embarrassed by that ..? we dont judge ppl from their religion in Albania. Religion tolerance make total sense here, thats something you must know..
Im not against British ppl or anything ,but the imperial policy must come to an end.U Cant play chess with ppl lives
Britan is responsable for most of world conflicts ,They drow lines in worlds map like they owned every place they stept on ,They left behind endless conflicts.
Why wasn t it an option to devide the islands betwen this countries.........?
Because Maradaona didnt liked you guys so much .........Duuuhhhhh............do you really need my explaining on that..? but since you talking about invasion, explain why your empire invaded half of the world in first place........your empire it got big by invading places just like Malvinas.....
@MeMo5682 err........actually we annexed most of the world because no-one was there-are you saying that if no-one was in the falklins you wouldn't annex it ?
that happend over 500 years ago there was no international law, UN ,NATO, or what so ever in that time ,There were only powerful empires which invaded,slaved killed stole whatever they could. To me this is understandable , 500 years ago this was totaly normal . What i dont understand is why some english folks think this imperial policy is normal even 500 hundred years later.?
Britan is responsable for most of world conflicts ,They drow lines in worlds map like they owned every place they stept on ,They left behind endless conflicts.
Why couldn t they devide the Falkland islands with Argentina ...? Ohhh yea i forgot the Queen got nukes ....
this is just stupidity, argentina should have realised that uk has nuclear powered submarines that use powerful trident missiles and nukes that is able to destroy their country

@alanheath3 defence spending is at the cost of the falklanders, they maintain their own defence force, and the MOD rents farm land in the falklands for 1200 troops to train on, because in the uk, such vast expanses of land are hard to come by, so they are actually at a surplus, quite a large surplus. even if you keep in defence spending they are at a large surplus.

@KiwiTomCrawford No that is not true. The Falkland Islands are only self sufficient if the cost of defence is taken out.

@purewaves1 There were four programmes. I did not tape the third. I must have missed it! I 'rediscovered' a pile of VHS cassettes from 1988 - 1992 and I will post as much of what is there as I can - some have been published here!
Now I know how to do it, I will do it myself rather than send it out!

This man should finally be regarded worldwide as what he really was: an aggressive war criminal. I bet he, with US help, would have razed Buenos Aires to the ground by bombs if Argentina had taken the Malvinas back in 1942

@alanheath3
The Nazi regime was a horrible dictatorship, no doubt about that. My point was to say that nobody is 100% perfect or innocent, and that even the oh-so-good Allies did their fair share of crimes during WWII.
Regarding the Falklands issue, I guess I'm more or less neutral, problably with a slight bias towards the British point of view. The Falklands may be strategically important, but otherwise they are merely remote, grassy, stormswept rocks with more sheep than people lving on them.

@Sibs1990 Sent back by who? Your argument reminds me of the Serbs during the Bosnian war. Life maybe cheap in Argentina but it isn't in Britain. These people are British, loyal to the crown, their fathers and grandfathers fought for this country in 1939-45, they live under the protection of British law and administration. There is no way the House of Commons will vote to expell them from the country against their wishes.

Of Brazil. Argentines are an irrational people. Do not take care of their own territory and aconomia in crisis or have rational and honest government. Galtieri wanted due attention to the economic crisis. Solution, take the Falklands. They took a beating and is now impossible. It is easier for Argentina to win the 3rd World Cup than take over the islands.

@KeepEuropeWhite Oh, so that means the Malvinas are ours then, since the first settlement there was Argentine! Thanks for supporting our logic, LOL! Are you even trying?
ShiningNow 8 months ago
@ShiningNow The first settlement was French, than British. There were possibly Dutch settlements as well, plus a short lived American settlement. Surely the point is we don't live in 1833, We live in 2011 and any decision must have the support of the people who were born on the islands. To disregard their wishes because of a dispute over what happened in 1833 just sounds crazy and inhuman to British ears.
rupertbrooks0 7 months ago
@rupertbrooks0 And if we are going to go back to 1833 then surely nearly all of those living in Argentina will have to go back to where they came from and give the country back to the native Americans. Of course one does not hear that in the imperialist camp.
alanheath3 7 months ago
@KeepEuropeWhite Actually those natives you speak of came to the Americas through the Bering Strait and are Asian in origin. Epic fail plz.
ShiningNow 8 months ago
@Sibs1990 I suppose that is a better option that the native Americans who lived there were given by the Spanish, Italian (and some British) colonists that lived there.
Basically I think it is they who should go back to where they came from and give the land back to its rightful owners.

Do you all know that yesterday an islander born in Malvinas, son of an islander who fought in the conflict of 1982, became an Argentine citizen? He was born in the islands in 1968 and as you know, the islands are Argentine territory and are part of the Government of Tierra del Fuego so naturally, he applied for the argentine nationality since he is an argentine citizen after all. One day we will celebrate all together. Cheers.

@Sibs1990 Cant you see how ridiculous your own arguments are. It is OK for Alaska to belong to the US because the US bought it (without asking the natives) even though it is closer to Canada and the Faroe Islands are closer to Denmark than the Falklands are to the UK.
Furthermore, the population of Argentina comes mainly from Europe - almost 80% from Spain and Italy.
The population of the Falklands are British and they do not want to be part of Argentina.
alanheath3 8 months ago
@Sibs1990 What has geographical location got to do with it? The Faroe Islands are closer to Britain than they are to Denmark but no-one in the UK claims them because they are not brainwashed from an early age into believing that. Nor do Canadians or Russians claim Alaska.
What I do know, is that the colonists who occupy Argentina today or thousands of km away from where they come from.

Leave the Brits alone. The French are in French Guiana, a subject nation of France, so why must the British leave the Falklands? For that matter, what of the Italians, Germans, Portuguese, Spanish and other European descended citizens of South American nations? Shouldn't they leave as well, following the same freakin' logic? What right has Argentina to re-name Islands which have been solidly under British ownership since 1833? None.

To defy it like you fools did is like a chicken trying take an island from a pack of lions. But thanks to the same principles you are just in putting down uprisings.

Since dictatorship was the problem which I aggre . Well Argentina is not a dictatorship anymore, this islanders can live there as british minority in their homeland of Malvines they will have all their propertys and everything but the islands will be Argentinian which makes a lot of sense and international law backs this too .
I bet 7 out of 10 british citizens knows nothing about this Islands
MeMo5682 1 year ago
@MeMo5682 The islanders do not want that though and they are the ones that matter. International law backs thier right to self determination.
I expect you are wrong with that stat at the end too, the war in 1982 has made any handover of sovereignty to Argentina political suicide for any party in the UK, even if they were willing to turn thier backs on the islanders.
Anan7777 1 year ago
@MeMo5682 Seven out of ten British do know now but that is only because of the aggression in 1982. People in this country are not brainwashed into imperial ambitions, we do not claim the Faroe Islands and anyone who did would rightly be the subject of laughter.
I know of no international law which backs the imperialist claim on the Falkland Islands and the error was made in the invasion in the first place which has made any Argentinian annexation in the future politically impossible.
