FALKLANDS CONFLICT - Falkland islanders

[DaveWBedford]

These videos really are tremendous. Thanks!

[agaichapter25]

what the government is currently doing to our armed forces is treacherous and action that we will long live to regret ..sooner or later the test will come somewhere in the world and we will be called to defend our honour .The question will be...will we be up to the task? How shameful to see our forces reduced so carelessly.

[olistaeuble]

Like he said in the Video, it might have been possible to see a spy there :) The video seems to be rather irrelevant and long though

Interesting to see a 25 year old Fern Britton reporting @ 1.03.00

We should have just asked the Argies to leave in a very gentle and polite way. Then dropped a nuclear bomb on one of their cities then asked then again more firmly but with the same level of politeness.

[mclarenn93]

@truckerfromreno You're my kind of diplomat. What is the point of having nuclear weapons if we don't use them? We will need to use the big stick soon as civilisation is about to be over run, then we will have a whole world over populated, underfed and unable to supply enough water, food and shelter with the whole world going third world rather than first, or even second

[paulspydar]

the biggest mistake the Argentinians made was to humiliate the Brave British Paras after there defense of the Governors house by making them lay down on the ground And take photos, it was unnecessary & unforgivable & left the UK no other option but to kick the invaders out & humiliate them in return, I will say though that the Argentine Air force pilots were brave & professional & deserving of respect.

[OlenkaWagner]

@paulspydar - Royal Marines, not Paras. I agree with the rest.

[paulspydar]

@OlenkaWagner Thanks for the correction , sorry for my mistake, its not often I make an error like that as i am very much into my history. Thanks again,

[OlenkaWagner]

@paulspydar - No problem. You are right that the "photo-session" left the UK no other option. Argentinians say that the whole thing lasted only a few seconds and was not agreed with the supreme commander, but one of the photographers managed to take photos, which were published and we all know the rest...

[olistaeuble]

@OlenkaWagner you seem to be very informed are you a spy? btw I hate spies.

[OlenkaWagner]

@olistaeuble - If I were a spy I wouldn't write my comments on YT. And I would be more interested in current events than in past events ;) BTW. Your profile says "Switzerland". Spies from different sides liked coming to Switzerland...

Responder a este vídeo... 

[nahuel941]

británicos piratas su isla les esta quedando chica y están buscando otros lugares donde irse

[nahuel941]

@Eddieposted España ejercía soberanía sobre ella desde antes de 1600 por que pertenencia al virreinato del Perú y la tierra de las islas son iguales al paisaje del sur argentino por que es una continuación geográfica del suelo argentino que termina en la Antártida ademas el mar de alrededor de ellas pertenecen a argentina por que tiene una profundidad de 200 millas según los tratados internacionales

[nahuel941]

estan en suelo y mar argentinos

[nahuel941]

@Eddieposted no matter who are also islands because deshabitadaslas still belonged to Spain

you only saw estabn desahabiatadas but within the jurisdiction under the treaty Spanish

[nahuel941]

@Eddieposted En

1765, una expedición inglesa llegó a las islas y las denominó Falkland Islands. En 1770, las fuerzas de ocupación inglesas fueron

desalojadas por España, que reclamó a soberanía de las islas por vía diplomática. Cuando se creó el Virreinato del Río de La

Plata, las Malvinas pasaron a depender de la gobernación de Buenos Aires. Desde 1774 hasta 1810, España nombró sucesivos

gobernadores para el archipiélago.

[nahuel941]

@Eddieposted En 1764 hubo una ocupación francesa por parte de Luis de Bougainville, quien fundó el puerto de San Luis en la isla oriental. Los

franceses llamaron a las islas Malouines, porque ése era el nombre dado a los nacidos en Saint Maló, el puerto francés de donde

procedían. Los españoles obtuvieron el puerto de San Luis tras una sede de protestas y transformaron Malouines en Malvinas.

[nahuel941]

Las Malvinas fueron descubiertas en 1520 por Esteban Gómez, tripulante de la nave San Antonio, uno de los barcos de la

expedición de Magallanes. según la delimitación de tierras de las bulas papales, las islas pertenecían a España. Sin embargo,

navegantes ingleses, holandeses y franceses llegaron a las islas en diversas oportunidades.

[nahuel941]

nosotros los argentinos teníamos esas islas en nuestro poder mucho antes de que ustedes la invadieran fueron a pasar al territorio argentino desde que nos independizamos de España

antes pertenecían a Francia pero los franceses se lo regalaron a España ustedes son los usurpadores

[salo504]

@nahuel941  exacto en 1833 con la fragata clio los piratas expulsaron a los residentes argentinos

[Harkenish]

Coz theyre british

[Lachausis]

Falklands are better off with the Brits.

[joebenevides]

Thanks for uploading all these Falklands conflict videos! I was glued to the TV in America at the time, but had to leave on holiday to Hawaii in early June, so I missed the final battle scenes and liberation.

I was lucky enough to visit the Falklands in January 2007. The woman who answered the phone when she was a little girl when UK forces called Fitzroy to ask if Argie troops were around, served us lunch in the Stanley cafe she now owns.

[Strompy82]

Nice upload. Thank you.

[wingnut208]

loved the voice of the governer "i'm not surrendering to the bloody argies i'm not".

Very British!!

[wingnut208]

you don't really know english do you. It's quite strange what the argentinians did, no real reason to invade.

[OlenkaWagner]

@wingnut208 - I have noticed pabloandrescom's comments are quite similar. I think he uses an automatic translator - this construction "English of ****" is copied from an Spanish grammar construction "..... de m*****" ;) He also never goes into any serious discussions :(
