Geography means nothing. The channel would become French. Alaska would become Canadian. etc etc.
They say we are imperialistic pirates. Yet the Falklands were uninhabited when we arrived. Unlike Argentina, which had natives. We along with the French landed on the islands first. We settled before Argentina was even a country. Surely that fact alone should mean the islands are ours?
They should concentrate on their own poverty stricken country.
@gehenaus if they weren't uninhabitated how come a sort of domesticated fox was found? How is that possible? Also the islanders called it Warrah which sounds very much like AGUARA which means Fox in Guarani. Hence, Brits probably expelled the native population very much like Brits expelled the Chagos islanders out of Diego Garcia in the 1970s. Also if you'd read history you'd see that the British illegal settlement of the 1760s was rightfully expelled by Spain.
@111jasy111 Foxes were found? You are clutching at straws. For how long exactly in the last 300 years have you ruled the Falklands? Again, if you want us to leave, then you should return to Spain. That makes sense no?
Pretty much all of the islanders wish to remain British, therefore there is nothing to discuss.
@gehenaus Spain ruled the territory until Argentina became an independent nation at the early 1800s. In 1833 the territory was already argentine and it was unlawfully invaded by British forces. So it's less than 180 years since that invasion. But time doesn't matter in this case. If nazis had ruled for hundreds of years that doesn't mean you'd have stopped fighting them, wouldn't you?
@111jasy111 The United nations resolutions clearly refer to"the interests of the islanders". Sive the islanders are British citizens, loyal to the British crown and living under the protection of British law and administration than the islands will remain British. The British govt. is hardly going to expell British people from Britain against their wishes. The islanders have been loyal to Britain over the 60 year reign of the Queen. What has Argentina shown them over the last 60 years?
The wishes of the islanders are taken into consideration since the UK uses UN Resolutions that were created to free people from European and British oppression (irony?).
Were the "Falklanders" oppressed like Africans that were victims of the illegal aggression of Britain and Europe?
NEVER!! BECAUSE they were ALWAYS WHITE BRITISH citizens!!
Hence, the territory was never a colony but a colonial outpost.
"A special and particular case of colonialism" says the UN, which will be treated as so.
@111jasy111 Your missing the point, British citizens have rights because they're British; They are loyal to the crown and therefore live under the protection of British law and democracy. Thats what it means to be British. They have the right to veto any change in their laws and constitution as a birthright. If they wish to remain British then there is nothing the Government can do. Prime Minister Cameran is therefore correct in saying that sovereignty is for the islanders to decide.
@111jasy111 No, thats just how the British constitution has evolved over the centuries. For example, on becoming head of state at the coronation 2nd June 1953 the Queen swore an oath ..."to govern the peoples of the UK...and the other Territories(e.g.the Falklands)...according to their respective laws and customs". This does not mean to expel them from the Country against their wishes. That any change to the constitution of the Falklands requires their agreement is just self evident really.
@111jasy111 No Argentinian has ever explained exactly what they would do to the Falkland Islanders if they were ever to get their hands on the islands. Why not? It is now clear that had Argentina won the war they would have ethnically cleansed the islands by force and expelled them all. Is that still the policy?
@rupertbrooks0 You mean cleanse ethnically like the UK did in the 70s with the Chagos Islanders? Oh and still in the 21st century the UK goverment BANS them to return to their homeland! You tell me where is their self determination right. In the trashcan, right? And you know that's only because they are black native people, unlike white British invadors in Malvinas. UK = most racist and hypocrite country ever.
@111jasy111 Wrong. Britain is one of the least racist, most liberal and tolerant societies on earth. As my gay Argentinian friend says when he's walking along the streets of London holding hands with his black boyfriend "you can't do this in Corrientes" Even football supportors find it unacceptable to chant racist comments during matches. In the UK even the police are unarmed. They certainly don't throw nuns out of helicopters! or murder 30,000 of their own people!
@rupertbrooks0 "Britain is one of the least racist, most liberal and tolerant societies on earth." HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Tell me another joke please!!!
@rupertbrooks0 Your argentinian friend should be aware that he can get married in Argentina and have complete full rights unlike in the UK where only a loose discriminatory term called 'civil union' is possible. Argentina is the only Latin American country where same-sex marriage is completely equal as hetero marriage. The only countries like Argentina are Belgium, Canada, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Sweden.
Do you Brits really think you can keep with this flagrancy? You avoid talks like a spoiled brat who wants to keep something that did not belong to him in the first place. That's what Hillary is saying to you. In the name of freedom and democracy, also in the name of the first article of the UN Charter. Sovereignity talks between Argentina and the UK cannot be delayed anymore.
@111jasy111 The Islands were claimed for the UK by Capt. John Byron (Lord Byron-the poets grandfather) on 25th January 1765; i.e. before Argentina even existed! The UK govt can only negociate on behalf of the islanders who have made it clear they wish to remain British. Since any agreement between the UK and Argentina would be vetoed by the Islanders and their government any talks would be a waste of time. There is therefore no sovereignty issue to discuss.
@111jasy111 For your information please note the following: UN Resolution 1514 (XV). Declaration on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples: 14 December 1960. Article 2. "All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development". The people of the Falklands have freely expressed their desire to remain British in free association with the UK.
@rupertbrooks0 For your information please note that UN Resolution 1514 (XV) recognizes the desire the end of colonialism in all its manifestations. There hasn't been not even one governor in the islands that was from the islands, always from England. A colonial outpost in the 21st Century. The UN Decolonization Committee is aware of the irregular situation there, and like the OAS incluiding Chile, Brazil, Mexico and the US, and G77 + China, urges the UK to enter talks and solve the issue.
@111jasy111 As Oliver Cromwell said as recently as November 1647 in St Marys church durng the Putney debates....."We should have such rulers as those who govern in accordance with the ancient laws, liberties and customs of the land" I think that pretty much excludes having British citizens governed by the forces of Argentina against their expressed wishes. Since the islands have been British since 25th Jan' 1765 it's difficult to see what the Argentine claim is based on.
Respect to both sides of the war,being wrong or right they fought for their country.Many lost their lives in this war (maybe thinking it was wrong in the first place).Shame so many people mouth off on the internet about this sort of thing without firing a bullet in war or facing bullets in return.
Most of you posters haven't even been in the army ,let alaone seen active service:S
When WW3 starts (and it's just a matter of time ... the economic system is already collapsing again) I will help the Argentines to kick the ass of foreign invaders.
@apresesco When ww3 starts there will be so many nukes flying about you nor I will have anytime to help anyone, will be too shit scared for our own and our familys lives.
Both sides lost. The dead are remembered, and mourned. I was at the funeral of Pte S Dixon, 2 Para, and yet I named my boat Belgrano to remember the poor lads who died on the old Pheonix. And I cringe to hear Mrs Thatcher saying 'Rejoice'.
The Argentinas could of won the war IF they whent in latter aroud December when the whether was warmer becaues they sent most there conscrips there that where uest to warmer wether. Another thing was the Argentinans did not dig treches or dig in well, porbolbey because the ground was frozin solid but if they did thay could held out long enough for reinforcemets to get there and push the brits back. Sorrey to say but I have simpathey to the Argentinan side thay look like the US army.
Hey brits don't forget that Argentina, despite it's technological disadvantage to the english military, caused billions of dollars in loses to the royal armed forces, and reminded the english what the BISMARK did to the HOOD, when they sunk the SHEFFIELD, so in financial terms ENGLAND LOST, and don't forget it was just a battle, for they haven't lost the war yet.
Did you know the whole point of having an armed force is to win wars compleate Ojectives due to any cost. The British Navy compleated its landing and did not run away due to one casulty and the Argentians did not win one firefight. Your country also forgets that young men died for this country to 18 and 19 year old as well as Argentinas.
Money is a stupid factor making your comment very Stupid
@enriqueroman62 THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT MONEY,IT WAS ABOUT STANDING TALL AND TAKING BACK WHAT WAS OURS,THE ARGIES HAD WEEKS TO DIG IN AND PREPARE FOR BATTLE,BUT AFTER AN ARSE KICKING DECIDED TO SURRENDER,THEY LOST BOTH THE BATTLE AND THE WAR.
@enriqueroman62 You make an intresting comparison with your Hood and Bismarck analogy,we suffered a reverse by the forces of a fascist dictatorship but we didn't back down we destroyed those forces and the dictatorship(s) eventually fell to the benefit of both Germany and Argentina .
@enriqueroman62 You say the Brits "In financial terms lost" are you insane or just stupid? Do you realize that the Falklands are sitting on one of the richest oil and gas deposits in the world? That by owning the Falklands their Antartic claim overlaps Argentinas? and very soon they will start to exploit these. What are you gonna do then? fight them and get your arse raped again? you people are a disaster. Serves you right for having an Italian leader (Galtieri), they are lovers not fighters.
@enriqueroman62 Correction. Great Britain was in Debt way before the War broke out. And after the War we made a slow recovery. The Morale of the Nation grew Stronger, The Government grew favour. So in terms of Financial terms we Won. And in terms of Arse-Kicking we won. So tell me, What exactly brings a Brash American to this Video? Because it seems your Knowledge of this War is very poor. So im guessing it was becuase of slight Jelousy to our Armed Forces.
i think it really says something when england offered argentina to ship the bodies of its soldiers back to their mainland- argentina refused to take the bodies of their fallen soldiers
i think though that england should have buried the enemy bodies with honor at sea and not made memorials for them on the Falklands
afterall- there are no memorials for the nazi german dead soldiers in france or poland or anywhere else the nazi army decided to dominate- that would be silly
Britanicos de mierda hijos de puta, no valeis para nada. Borrachos, piratas, ladrones, maricones que mas se puede esperar de vosotros y vuesta puta reina
LAS MALVINAS SON ARGENTINAS Y LOS CHILENOS ESO LO TENEMOS CLARO, PERO AYUDAMOS CLARAMENTE A LOS INGLESES YA QUE EL HOCICÓN DE GALTIERI AVISÓ QUE TRAS LAS MALVINAS ATACARÍA A LAS ISLAS CHILENAS PICTON NUEVA Y LENOX... QUE ESPERABAN ? ERA OBVIO QUE DEFENDIERAMOS NUESTROS INTERESES PRIMERO EH?
@delphine199 - why "should never have happened"? I don't want to discuss the amount of real help, but it is a normal thing that during conflicts the warring sides look for help from other countries and even try to form coalitions. Nothing forbidden, nothing morally condemnable. It has not also been objected by the international law that Britain can have the Gurkha regiment. So tell me, what's wrong in having such an regiment or what's wrong in looking for the allies?
@delphine199 funny that,we had no help,some intel from Chile,use of a US airbase,and the gurkhas...( a British regiment for 200 years)... We had about as much help as Argentina had from Peru.
My father served in the falklands war with the SAS and i couldnt be more proud of what he did for the preservation of british lives. My pride for all british troops thaty served in the falklands is more than i thouhgt possible to feel. I guess the argentines didnt know what they were in for when they messed with the british! Lets hope they've learned their lesson and they dont try it again. And if they do try well they'd better have some damn good tricks up their sleeves because we'll be back!!!

@Flamorgan - I fail to see what that has got to do with my previous post and why would I disrespect the Irish when I am part Irish myself.
Not sure where you got your stats from re SAS membership but I have heard it said that the Scots are well represented plus the Parachute Regiment of course.
@Flamorgan totally agree about paddy Mayne,what a man,intelligent,accomplished rugby player,awesome soldier,where you get your stats as to most SAS come from N.I is interesting tho....the only true stat is that most SAS are recruited from the three battalions of the parachute regiment!
@delphine199 ,i think you are taught,what i believe,is an inaccurate version of history,that is the opinion i have come to,based on my research of events,you are not lying if you stand by your comments,that is just your opinion. I can however,tell you that your opinions on the British people being lied to about the Falklands,is untrue,the UK press discover the truth,and they sailed south with the task force,cover ups are very difficult!
@delphine199 you are wrong again,i'm afraid. In a democracy like ours,where the press can bring down a government if they uncover corruption,losses are something that most certainly cannot be covered up,organisations,such as the royal British legion,the soldiers families,none of these can be silenced! So if we do not believe YOUR opinion,we are "stupid".....you know nothing
people have a little bit of respect for both britain and argentinian veterans...My dad was in that war..i look up to him very much ..he got bombed june 14, 1982 , the last day of the war..a bomb fell right next to him..but thank god he survived..with a wound on his arm...the falkland islands will always be argentinian
What is the geographic, the political or economic explanation for England to be in Las Malvinas? Could it be because England is a permanent member of the UN's Security Council where they can do everything and the others nothing?
What would you think if China claimed part of your land because a group of 2nd or 4th generation of chinamen living in your country wanted to remain chineese?
@Arminevh A bit of a silly argument really. Chinese people moving to London (or Buenos Aires!) are moving into another national territory and therefore fall under their laws. The British immigrants (mostly Scots) who moved to the Falklands were moving to another part of Britain. The islands have never come under the jurisdiction of the Argentinian state and therefore the British inhabitants don't need their permission to leave it.
Saxe333 - HAHAHA...Malvinas are under ur power because u are USA's dogs..now I ask something to know : Today, is the UK so strong as in the 1982? Thanks..!
@pancho133 ,yes,technically,the UK is far stronger than 1982,the equipment much better,and the troops are amongst the most battle hardened in the western world. WE liberated the Falklands alone in 1982,but with the assets Argentina has,and the assets now stationed on the Falklands,Argentina wouldn't dare to invade again
@pancho133 Yours is an intelligent question. But don't expect an intelligent answer from the English. If you observe the obvious you will find you are correct It is a shame that the USA helped the English as they did with aerial reconnaissance against their fellow American neighbours to the South. Not all Gringo's are bad Poncho. Remember they kicked the English out of the US in 1776. Now when Mr. And Mrs. Mountbatten want to visit the US they have to come as Tourists like everyone else.
The Aerial Reconnaissance help that the USA shamefully gave to the English foreigners against the Argentine Malvinas Islands which was reported on international news reports, possibly not in England though, which would explain your ignorance about it. The type of help that the English always seem to be able to get from the USA, without which English wouldn't be able to function . Some English people make sense. Other than the vulgar expression Reichsfuhrer1979's comment is worth contemplating
@frbjoern ,it was probably not reported here,because it did not happen. Reagan was trying his hardest to stay out of the war,indeed,Anne Kirkpatrick was pressing to support Argentina,she was dinning with Galtieri as the invasion was taking place!!!! Sorry,but other than the use of Wideawake,some Avgas,and the speeding up of Sidewinder deliveries,US help was very limited....we got more intel from Norway!
@jonboy1973 Your use of the word "probably" is quite subtle and of course sort of contradicts the second part of your comment. But then of course you are representing a nation that is forever contradicting itself! Well at least you are getting closer to the truth and of course inadvertently you have answered your own question if somewhat grudgingly, minimizing the facts, almost like a disclaimer! But thanks for establishing the facts that I stated. P.S. US help was no limited at all!!.
@frbjoern ,no,the word probably is sometimes used in the English language to emphasise sarcasm.
And yes,the help was limited to that i described,interesting that US mercenaries were captured on Mt Longdon,fighting for Argentina,so their were US citizens involved in the fighting,just not on the side you claim!
@jonboy1973 Thank you for your personal opinion regarding sarcasm in the English language. My "claim" was based on what we heard and read from English language news media. By US mercenaries I imagine you mean United States of "America" fighting for Argentina South "America" against the English, a foreign invader. America pledged a long time ago to protect the Americas from foreign invaders such as the English. So if some Americans fought for their fellow Americans, they were faithful to America
@frbjoern ,not my personal opinion,it is my knowledge of the English language,something quite close to my heart.....if you wish to believe that the US help was such,and it makes you feel better,crack on,i can assure you it was not the case,i find that many Argentines,and quite clearly,you are one,find the thought of Britain mobilising a task force in 48 hours,sailing 8000 miles to defended islands,and liberating them,hard to take,and believing such bullshit eases the bitter pain of defeat.
@jonboy1973 It is indeed your personal opinion! I wish to believe in facts. And the facts are against the foreign English occupation of the Argentine Islas Malvinas. May I suggest also that you keep your comments clean. Even though we are on opposite sides, I do respect your fidelity to England, you are being faithful and loyal to your country and that is an admirable quality. You serve your country better by keeping your remarks clean. By the way, thank you for the complement !
@frbjoern ,no, the use of the word,in that context,is fact,not opinion. The "English",do not occupy the "Malvinas",however,the Falkland islanders,ninth generation settlers,live in the Falkland islands, a group of islands that Argentina formally gave up any claim,however thin the claim was anyway,on 15 may 1850,by ratifying the Convention of Settlement. Facts are,as you say,facts
frbjoern , what are you on about , shamefully give us help,, , do you really think that its all one way , you shamefully sat on the fence , us your closest ally,nato partner,cousins almost, and argentina, a right wing military junta, who were killing 10s of thousands of its own people at the time ,,
you got off the fence far to late, some photos ,big wow , we already had SAS undercover ,on the island ,plus some islanders were giving information to our forces, you did little mate
we asked for the loan of an awacs , did we get it,no, it would of saved a lot of men, the sidewinders were already bought and paid for weve always swapped secrets and equipment , more one way than anything, we gave you the latest radar in ww2 ,that was a godsend to you , we gave you the enigma codes ,the we broke,not you, and since ww2 youve had loads of latest technology , in the race for the sound barrier we were 2 years ahead of you ,the project was scrapped , and all info went to you
we had a prototype fighter in the 50s , which was far better than your starfighter , the germans had put in an order, when the design was finished, suprise suprise it was scrapped, no explination, your aero scientists then asked to see the plans, and when our head of the project asked his opposite over there ,how are you getting on , oh its classified your man said,, the US sold starfighter to germany which resulted in many german deaths in accidents,,
your space program and half your satallites had parts made over here ,, and heres you saying , that you gave us a few aerial maps , wow,, unless you originated from south america ,how could you side with that lot down there,, US thought we,d back down, and i bet they thought that they were in line for the contracts to expolore for oil around the falklands , and hey it was called the falklands a century before it was called the malvinas ,, we could of shared the islands but for their aggression
que alegria rollobritannia1 estas por aqui soltando tus falacias los britanicos sois una mierda contais la historia como os conviene las malvinas son argentinas nunca habeis ganado una guerra solos a nadie el soldado anglosajon es patetico por eso fueron los gurkhas que son tan pateticos como vosotros con esos cuchillos torcidos yo veo a esos chois de frente y me pongo a reir mirando pa sus cuchillos rollobritannia1 vamos cagon deja de mentir eso de falklands ¿que es? siempre seran malvinas
@1benedictinus conozco soldados argentinos que estuvieron en la guerra siempre esa mirada que te ponen al hablar de malvinas la guerra le cambio las vidas en sus mentes y aunque creen que la guerra no vale y quizas perderian de nuevo hirian a morir por su patria este amigo me presto un libro sobre malvinas escrito por un ingles fue muy conocido porque en el denuncia torturas me puse en la piel de la guerra lo vi en los ojos de excombatientes hoy llevo las malvinas en mi pecho tatuadas gracias!
@1benedictinus Las Islas Falkland/Malvinas son territorio britanicos. La tierra pertenece a los habitantes cuyos bisabuelos son habitantes de las islas desde el siglo 18. Las Islas nunca han pertenicido a Argentina. APRENDAN BIEN LA HISTORIA VERDADERA DE LAS ISLAS.
@david1gla no soy argentino, pero hasta donde se fueron descubierto por españoles, luego hubieron incidentes de invacion foranea inglaterra y francia, despues diplomaticamente españa lo recupero, y esa herencia se lo dejo al virreynato de buenos aires, inglaterra fue hidalgo en reconocerlo en ese entonces, .. despues no se que incidentes ocurrieon que tuvo larga posicion los ingleses.. pero historicamente, geograficamente le debe pertenecer, a la Argentina ..saludos
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
as malvinas são por direito inglesas, pois seus habitantes assim o querem isso se chama autodeterminação de um povo, eles querem ser ingleses ,não são bobos, ou voce acha que eles querem ser argentinos? claro que não
It's a shame our two countries were led to war by 2 nutters in a dick-waving contest. Lets be honest, the only 3000 people mad and stupid enough to live in a boggy Antarctic sheep farm are the one's who are there already. Leave them to it and if they choose to be British, fine. If they change their minds in the future, so be it.
Ingleses de mierda. Les ganamos en 2 guerras en la antiguedad asi que no se las den de los mas grosos !!! . Fue una pelea de mierda, que se perdio pero ya los vamos a hacer mierda !! putos

Que puta tiene que ver el pueblo chileno en ese conflicto de mierda, fue un general dictador como Pinochet a quién se le acusa de ayudar a los hooligans, y si así fue, eso no determinó en nada el destino se esa horrorosa guerra, provocada por otro general dictador alcohólico que mando niños argentinos a pelear a las Malvinas, los argentinos hicieron todo mal. El pueblo de Chile no le debe disculpas a nadie, los argentinos que no entiendan eso, seguirán con un dolor adicional en sus almas.
11.000 Argentine soldiers surrendered; 18 years old each one;one to six months military training. Old weapons, hungry.. Cold weather whith old clothes, one over one. Not proffesional war man, only boys with a gun. 112 Brithish Proffesional Soldiers surrendered, proffesional; do you see the difference?
That was a tactical war being so far from Britian. Argentina screwed up because of the political/military indecision within the country.
They had the means to deliver a severe blow to the British forces but failed to act decisive. Argentina isn't some tiny backward country. Preserverance would have prevailed but the Arg. populace was not as willing once the Belgrano was sunk. Arg forces inflicted a fair amount of damage.
it was a just war, the argentine people were very much pro war if not they would not have been throning the streets for days, they have been indoctirnated by their gov since birth to belive the falklands are their territoriy they wanted the war more than the generals did. argentina did a fair bit of damage but they were in a much better possition than we were, though we had trident the idea we would have used it is very slim
Yet another person unhappy about enemy's surrender ;) 112 British proffesional soldiers were simply outnumbered. Their decision was quite reasonable. Probably they suspected that some larger operation from the British side was going on. BTW some of them came back and participated in the operation of retaking the islands.
Er I think you will find that all your elite soldiers were there as well - The Royal Marines fought your special forces at Malo house and won. The Scots Guards attacked and defeated your marines on Tumbledown.
In the initial invasion the govenor ordered the marines to surrender to preserve civillian lives.
Face it you lost. There is no disgrace in that as you were up against some of the most highly trained and best led spearhead troops in the world, who had experience in Northern Ireland.
@Buggsy61 Argentina's elit soldiers left tumbledown, not in retreat, but to reegroup.The truth is British army never won that position.They left the place 2 days before the war ended, and your own troops were preying they don't counter attack.read more!!of course we lost,but we fought...
@chonniewalker - Sorry but thats utter nonsense chonnie - roughly 20 Scots Guards died taking that position which ended up as hand to hand fighting with bayonets.
Its was a strategic high position that had to be taken if Stanley was to fall so to call it a strategic withdrawal is bonkers. I think its yourself who needs to read more.
@Buggsy61 Scots guards died taking that position but they never could have done it,if the BIM5 had to withraw,as part of a bigger strategy,that was regrouping!!Read a little more about Almirant Robacio!!some of your own soldiers,many years after the war,recognized him that nor the Scots niether the gurkas,could get through there,and they were expecting a counter attak,because your troops were weakened in numbers and ammo!!!but of course,war is written by winners,so you will never read the truth.

@KGBfbiSECUpolitia - Can't even begin to understand the crap you have written. Seems to me that you are either mentally ill, or on drugs, or indeed both!.
jgc210482! Yes we do see the difference and you make a valid and very important point. Can you imagine the English seeing the difference? Although there are some English who are decent and honest!
I am deliberately trying not to be confrontational,but you have to understand,we have faced down much more powerful nations than Argentina,big or small,if it comes to it we will back up words with actions.
This is one lion you do not want to poke with a stick,it will turn round & remove your head.
Hope Argentina and UK can remain allies,and not walk all over the people of the Falkland islanders wishes,leave them alone,you have been warned.
With all due respect,the Falklands is British,it is the people that live there who decide,not England,or Argentina.
I would say this to you and your country,for a 1000 yrs we have not been pushed about,its not a warning,its a promise try it again,and you will regret the day you did.
We went easy last time,no attack on Argentina,what would you prefer a 100 cruise missiles into your country,perhaps a mushroom cloud over your capital,1982you lost,let it rest..
The Malvinas were French until he ceded sovereignty to Spain. In 1816 these islands were inherited from Spain to Argentina, until in 1833, invading the UK. We want peace but we can not allow injustice and that part of our land is invaded by England. We will continue to call ourselves. Malvinas are Argentinas
A simple example. Argentina claims that Britain expelled the settlers in 1833 replacing them with British settlers. Except that is a blatant lie, not only were they not expelled but were encouraged to stay. Britain didn't send settlers till 1841.
The Falklands are British simply because that is the clearly expressed desire of the inhabitants, it is guaranteed by Article 73 of the UN Charter and illogical irredentist claims will never change that.
Bullshit. You didnt "inherit" them at all. Your sole claim rests on the fact the the Falklands and argentina both used to be part of the spanish empire. On that basis we can claim france as we were both part of the roman empire. The Falklands are ours and you will just have to live with it.
chileno!!!! cuando decidas afrontar que tu pais fue cobarde al entregar la patagonia sin disparar un tiro, hablamos!!!!! asi que cerra el culo. Con respeto
callate ingles cobarde. Ustedes tuvieron el apoyo de usa , chile y la comunidad europea!!! y casi le ganamos igual!!! igualmente le rompimos el culo con unos avioncitos .
chileno la concha de tu madre nosotros le sacamos mitad pais cagones!! y ustedes se vengaron apoyando a los ingleses como buenos cagones q son DAS ASCO CHILE ASCOOO!!!
Tus datos son erroneos. GB movilizó la mitad de su flota de mar. Con respecto al "apoyo" se puede decir que sólo Peru lo brindó, Chile apoyó a GB y el resto se mantuvo "neutral". Nadie respetó el tratado de la OEA.
Haciendo referencia a la expresión "los hicieron mierda en un mes" es totalmente erronea. Está reconocido por el Alte. Woodward que si Argentina resistía 1 semana más él hubiera tenido que retirarse, pero como dijo el Sr Alte. "pero se cansaron primero".
no no no the aztecs ate dirt.....hahahahahahah us british rule the world.....first we will kill the irish, then the argies...then the rest of the world will help destroy the muslims, and gays....and 80% of the blacks...keep the rest on chains....good for sumthing i guess.....argie rats.....i love the way britain owns the world....hahahaha esp argentina and ireland....fuk the irish
Your people got caught in propaganda. It was a well known fact that you were in a state of economic and political crisis prior to war. So to divert your attention away from reality, the Military Junta invaded the Falklands.
Another thing you must ask yourself - How many Agentinians died in the hands of the Argentinian military?
The count is somewhat controversial. Reliable figures from independent third parties put the figure at 30,000. The official Government figure is less than 1000.
Youve just contradicted yourself,if it was as you state Spanish first then surely it should by your 'logic' belong to Spain,rather than a country that did not even exist when the treaties pertaining to it were ratified .
It was the Aztec, Maya, etc. They were the first people. Put it simply, South America belongs to them.
Another thing, falklands was empty when the British occupied the area. So, technically speaking it was not a invasion. Unlike the spanish conquistadores who killed and obliterate the way of life of the indegenous tribe of South America, which by the way qualifies as invasion and occupation.
Malvinas belong to Argentina. Original spanish-speaking people from the Island were kicked off by the British long ago. Whats the point if a couple of brits' live there? How far are the Islands from UK?
You British should look on your own country, filled with Radical Muslims and terrorists. Your pride is justified by the Brave Island History, but c'mon, 50 years from now and half the population will be of foreigners.
Flashgrim, the problem is, these people are brain-washed from an early age and are taught this propaganda about India & Kenya. I've seen similar comments from others from Argentina.
They think it's our Achilles but actually it's not because it's all lies, but it somehow suits their antagonistic purpose: to raise questions in OUR minds about the legitimacy of our claim over the Falkland Islands, which is BEYOND doubt; they are HISTORICALLY & CULTURALLY BRITISH and always will be.
The other reason is to give legitimacy to a war against the UK by pretending it was some anti colonial war on their part. Ironic as if they had been successful it would have been an act of colonialism on their part against the population of the Falkland Islands.
1) The Battle for England didn't distract the Germans from their targets in USSR. Had the UK surrendered, it wouldn't have changed danything: the Americans would have entered the war all the same, and the Reds would have resisted all the same; like they always do even if it means burning 3/4 of their country;
2) Stalin asked the other 2 to open a second front in the Balkans in 1943, Churchill refused vehemently.
3) How many, out of 38 million Argentines, are pro-Videla? 10,000?
Bullshit, one third of the Nazi war effort was against the UK according to Albert Speer and he should know.
Thats the difference between defeat and victory in the east. Also the US would have not been able to play any part in the European theatre without the UK. Obviously your history of WW2 is about as accurate as your history of the Falkland Islands and just as biased.
You just can't stomach the UK's achievements because of your self confessed resentment towards the UK.
1) Utter nonsense, the continued presence of the British meant the Germans deployed massive numbers of troops to defend France. Mass air raids cause the Germans to redeploy massive resources to counter.
2. Britain and America fought on two fronts against Germany for most of the war. First in North Africa later Italy as well as the invasion of France.
1) (b) the Royal Air Force dropped more bombs than the USAAF or Luftwaffe put together, and played a substantial part in crippling German industry & morale.
2) (b) Britain was actively involved in taking the fight to the other member of the Axis: JAPAN, which was definitely a THIRD front that British Forces were fighting to free the world from tyranny.
Where were the Argentinians? Sat in the dirt pickin' their noses...
1) Peron had many supporters, but also many opponents, even within the military.
2) About mass starvation in India in 1943: I read it in Indian sites; don't think we Argentines can influence the Indian. But I also happen to read The Guardian, that's how I learnt about some books about the british Empire and some of its "deeds" everywhere.
3) 50.000 Kikuyus and other Kenyan burned alive with napalm in 1950, same sources.
Oh my GOD you really are losing it. Don't you know the British Armed forces has never operated napalm or even had any stocks of napalm. Your sources are very suspect! but then why am I not surprised!
I suppose you will believe anything if it paints the UK in a bad light. You probably believe that HMS Invincible was hit in 82, what a laugh, it requires the complete suspension of reality which for you is not difficult QED.
Napalm in Kenya? The British absolutely did not use Napalm in Kenya. The only incidents involving people being burned alive occurred when the Mau Mau attacked members of the Home Guard.
Speaking of Napalm, it was Argentina that stockpiled Napalm at Goose Green and attempted to drop Napalm on British soldiers from its Pucara Aircraft.
There is a good write up of the Bengali Famine of 1943 in Wikipedia. It wasn't deliberate, though incompetence played its part, and ended when the British imported 1,000,000 tons of grain to Bengal. The causes include a cyclone, the loss of Burma which supplies 20% of rice to Burma, incompetence, panic buying, over exporting food in the lead up to the famine and a lackadaisical attitude in the Bengali Civil Service (though perversely the British military did do a lot to alleviate the famine).

What case does Argentina have for the Falklands?
Geography means nothing. The channel would become French. Alaska would become Canadian. etc etc.
They say we are imperialistic pirates. Yet the Falklands were uninhabited when we arrived. Unlike Argentina, which had natives. We along with the French landed on the islands first. We settled before Argentina was even a country. Surely that fact alone should mean the islands are ours?
They should concentrate on their own poverty stricken country.
gehenaus 8 months ago
@gehenaus if they weren't uninhabitated how come a sort of domesticated fox was found? How is that possible? Also the islanders called it Warrah which sounds very much like AGUARA which means Fox in Guarani. Hence, Brits probably expelled the native population very much like Brits expelled the Chagos islanders out of Diego Garcia in the 1970s. Also if you'd read history you'd see that the British illegal settlement of the 1760s was rightfully expelled by Spain.
Respect UN Resolutions, Britain.

Pretty much all of the islanders wish to remain British, therefore there is nothing to discuss.
gehenaus 8 months ago
@gehenaus Spain ruled the territory until Argentina became an independent nation at the early 1800s. In 1833 the territory was already argentine and it was unlawfully invaded by British forces. So it's less than 180 years since that invasion. But time doesn't matter in this case. If nazis had ruled for hundreds of years that doesn't mean you'd have stopped fighting them, wouldn't you?

@111jasy111 The United nations resolutions clearly refer to"the interests of the islanders". Sive the islanders are British citizens, loyal to the British crown and living under the protection of British law and administration than the islands will remain British. The British govt. is hardly going to expell British people from Britain against their wishes. The islanders have been loyal to Britain over the 60 year reign of the Queen. What has Argentina shown them over the last 60 years?
rupertbrooks0 8 months ago
The wishes of the islanders are taken into consideration since the UK uses UN Resolutions that were created to free people from European and British oppression (irony?).
Were the "Falklanders" oppressed like Africans that were victims of the illegal aggression of Britain and Europe?
NEVER!! BECAUSE they were ALWAYS WHITE BRITISH citizens!!
Hence, the territory was never a colony but a colonial outpost.
"A special and particular case of colonialism" says the UN, which will be treated as so.

@111jasy111 Your missing the point, British citizens have rights because they're British; They are loyal to the crown and therefore live under the protection of British law and democracy. Thats what it means to be British. They have the right to veto any change in their laws and constitution as a birthright. If they wish to remain British then there is nothing the Government can do. Prime Minister Cameran is therefore correct in saying that sovereignty is for the islanders to decide.

This does not mean to expel them from the Country against their wishes. That any change to the constitution of the Falklands requires their agreement is just self evident really.

@111jasy111 No Argentinian has ever explained exactly what they would do to the Falkland Islanders if they were ever to get their hands on the islands. Why not? It is now clear that had Argentina won the war they would have ethnically cleansed the islands by force and expelled them all. Is that still the policy?

@111jasy111 The Islands were claimed for the UK by Capt. John Byron (Lord Byron-the poets grandfather) on 25th January 1765; i.e. before Argentina even existed! The UK govt can only negociate on behalf of the islanders who have made it clear they wish to remain British. Since any agreement between the UK and Argentina would be vetoed by the Islanders and their government any talks would be a waste of time. There is therefore no sovereignty issue to discuss.
rupertbrooks0 8 months ago
@111jasy111 For your information please note the following: UN Resolution 1514 (XV). Declaration on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples: 14 December 1960. Article 2. "All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development". The people of the Falklands have freely expressed their desire to remain British in free association with the UK.
rupertbrooks0 7 months ago
@rupertbrooks0 For your information please note that UN Resolution 1514 (XV) recognizes the desire the end of colonialism in all its manifestations. There hasn't been not even one governor in the islands that was from the islands, always from England. A colonial outpost in the 21st Century. The UN Decolonization Committee is aware of the irregular situation there, and like the OAS incluiding Chile, Brazil, Mexico and the US, and G77 + China, urges the UK to enter talks and solve the issue.

Since the islands have been British since 25th Jan' 1765 it's difficult to see what the Argentine claim is based on.

I don't want to discuss the amount of real help, but it is a normal thing that during conflicts the warring sides look for help from other countries and even try to form coalitions. Nothing forbidden, nothing morally condemnable. It has not also been objected by the international law that Britain can have the Gurkha regiment.

The Aerial Reconnaissance help that the USA shamefully gave to the English foreigners against the Argentine Malvinas Islands which was reported on international news reports, possibly not in England though, which would explain your ignorance about it. The type of help that the English always seem to be able to get from the USA, without which English wouldn't be able to function . Some English people make sense. Other than the vulgar expression Reichsfuhrer1979's comment is worth contemplating

By US mercenaries I imagine you mean United States of "America" fighting for Argentina South "America" against the English, a foreign invader. America pledged a long time ago to protect the Americas from foreign invaders such as the English. So if some Americans fought for their fellow Americans, they were faithful to America

11.000 Argentine soldiers surrendered; 18 years old each one;one to six months military training. Old weapons, hungry.. Cold weather whith old clothes, one over one. Not proffesional war man, only boys with a gun. 112 Brithish Proffesional Soldiers surrendered, proffesional; do you see the difference?

That was a tactical war being so far from Britian. Argentina screwed up because of the political/military indecision within the country.
They had the means to deliver a severe blow to the British forces but failed to act decisive. Argentina isn't some tiny backward country. Preserverance would have prevailed but the Arg. populace was not as willing once the Belgrano was sunk. Arg forces inflicted a fair amount of damage.

it was a just war, the argentine people were very much pro war if not they would not have been throning the streets for days, they have been indoctirnated by their gov since birth to belive the falklands are their territoriy they wanted the war more than the generals did. argentina did a fair bit of damage but they were in a much better possition than we were, though we had trident the idea we would have used it is very slim

Yet another person unhappy about enemy's surrender ;) 112 British proffesional soldiers were simply outnumbered. Their decision was quite reasonable. Probably they suspected that some larger operation from the British side was going on. BTW some of them came back and participated in the operation of retaking the islands.

Er I think you will find that all your elite soldiers were there as well - The Royal Marines fought your special forces at Malo house and won. The Scots Guards attacked and defeated your marines on Tumbledown.
In the initial invasion the govenor ordered the marines to surrender to preserve civillian lives.
Face it you lost. There is no disgrace in that as you were up against some of the most highly trained and best led spearhead troops in the world, who had experience in Northern Ireland.

@Buggsy61 Argentina's elit soldiers left tumbledown, not in retreat, but to reegroup.The truth is British army never won that position.They left the place 2 days before the war ended, and your own troops were preying they don't counter attack.read more!!of course we lost,but we fought...

@chonniewalker - Sorry but thats utter nonsense chonnie - roughly 20 Scots Guards died taking that position which ended up as hand to hand fighting with bayonets.
Its was a strategic high position that had to be taken if Stanley was to fall so to call it a strategic withdrawal is bonkers. I think its yourself who needs to read more.

@Buggsy61 Scots guards died taking that position but they never could have done it,if the BIM5 had to withraw,as part of a bigger strategy,that was regrouping!!Read a little more about Almirant Robacio!!some of your own soldiers,many years after the war,recognized him that nor the Scots niether the gurkas,could get through there,and they were expecting a counter attak,because your troops were weakened in numbers and ammo!!!but of course,war is written by winners,so you will never read the truth.

The Malvinas were French until he ceded sovereignty to Spain. In 1816 these islands were inherited from Spain to Argentina, until in 1833, invading the UK. We want peace but we can not allow injustice and that part of our land is invaded by England. We will continue to call ourselves. Malvinas are Argentinas
leproso2008 3 years ago
A simple example. Argentina claims that Britain expelled the settlers in 1833 replacing them with British settlers. Except that is a blatant lie, not only were they not expelled but were encouraged to stay. Britain didn't send settlers till 1841.
The Falklands are British simply because that is the clearly expressed desire of the inhabitants, it is guaranteed by Article 73 of the UN Charter and illogical irredentist claims will never change that.
tootiredtobeoriginal 3 years ago
Bullshit. You didnt "inherit" them at all. Your sole claim rests on the fact the the Falklands and argentina both used to be part of the spanish empire. On that basis we can claim france as we were both part of the roman empire. The Falklands are ours and you will just have to live with it.

Your people got caught in propaganda. It was a well known fact that you were in a state of economic and political crisis prior to war. So to divert your attention away from reality, the Military Junta invaded the Falklands.
Another thing you must ask yourself - How many Agentinians died in the hands of the Argentinian military?

tootiredtobeoriginal 3 years ago 2
It was the Aztec, Maya, etc. They were the first people. Put it simply, South America belongs to them.
Another thing, falklands was empty when the British occupied the area. So, technically speaking it was not a invasion. Unlike the spanish conquistadores who killed and obliterate the way of life of the indegenous tribe of South America, which by the way qualifies as invasion and occupation.
theunholysoul 3 years ago
In that case you should be complaining to the spanish about how they let us have them. Argentina was not Spanish when the Falklands were invaded.

Malvinas belong to Argentina. Original spanish-speaking people from the Island were kicked off by the British long ago. Whats the point if a couple of brits' live there? How far are the Islands from UK?
You British should look on your own country, filled with Radical Muslims and terrorists. Your pride is justified by the Brave Island History, but c'mon, 50 years from now and half the population will be of foreigners.

Flashgrim, the problem is, these people are brain-washed from an early age and are taught this propaganda about India & Kenya. I've seen similar comments from others from Argentina.
They think it's our Achilles but actually it's not because it's all lies, but it somehow suits their antagonistic purpose: to raise questions in OUR minds about the legitimacy of our claim over the Falkland Islands, which is BEYOND doubt; they are HISTORICALLY & CULTURALLY BRITISH and always will be.
;O)
Jonny2Jags 3 years ago
The other reason is to give legitimacy to a war against the UK by pretending it was some anti colonial war on their part. Ironic as if they had been successful it would have been an act of colonialism on their part against the population of the Falkland Islands.
flashgrim 3 years ago
Flashgrim,
1) The Battle for England didn't distract the Germans from their targets in USSR. Had the UK surrendered, it wouldn't have changed danything: the Americans would have entered the war all the same, and the Reds would have resisted all the same; like they always do even if it means burning 3/4 of their country;
2) Stalin asked the other 2 to open a second front in the Balkans in 1943, Churchill refused vehemently.
3) How many, out of 38 million Argentines, are pro-Videla? 10,000?
Guachito1970 3 years ago
Bullshit, one third of the Nazi war effort was against the UK according to Albert Speer and he should know.
Thats the difference between defeat and victory in the east. Also the US would have not been able to play any part in the European theatre without the UK. Obviously your history of WW2 is about as accurate as your history of the Falkland Islands and just as biased.
You just can't stomach the UK's achievements because of your self confessed resentment towards the UK.

1) Utter nonsense, the continued presence of the British meant the Germans deployed massive numbers of troops to defend France. Mass air raids cause the Germans to redeploy massive resources to counter.
2. Britain and America fought on two fronts against Germany for most of the war. First in North Africa later Italy as well as the invasion of France.
tootiredtobeoriginal 3 years ago
I would also add:
1) (b) the Royal Air Force dropped more bombs than the USAAF or Luftwaffe put together, and played a substantial part in crippling German industry & morale.
2) (b) Britain was actively involved in taking the fight to the other member of the Axis: JAPAN, which was definitely a THIRD front that British Forces were fighting to free the world from tyranny.
Where were the Argentinians? Sat in the dirt pickin' their noses...

1) Peron had many supporters, but also many opponents, even within the military.
2) About mass starvation in India in 1943: I read it in Indian sites; don't think we Argentines can influence the Indian. But I also happen to read The Guardian, that's how I learnt about some books about the british Empire and some of its "deeds" everywhere.
3) 50.000 Kikuyus and other Kenyan burned alive with napalm in 1950, same sources.
Guachito1970 3 years ago
Oh my GOD you really are losing it. Don't you know the British Armed forces has never operated napalm or even had any stocks of napalm. Your sources are very suspect! but then why am I not surprised!
I suppose you will believe anything if it paints the UK in a bad light. You probably believe that HMS Invincible was hit in 82, what a laugh, it requires the complete suspension of reality which for you is not difficult QED.
flashgrim 3 years ago 2
Napalm in Kenya? The British absolutely did not use Napalm in Kenya. The only incidents involving people being burned alive occurred when the Mau Mau attacked members of the Home Guard.
Speaking of Napalm, it was Argentina that stockpiled Napalm at Goose Green and attempted to drop Napalm on British soldiers from its Pucara Aircraft.

There is a good write up of the Bengali Famine of 1943 in Wikipedia. It wasn't deliberate, though incompetence played its part, and ended when the British imported 1,000,000 tons of grain to Bengal. The causes include a cyclone, the loss of Burma which supplies 20% of rice to Burma, incompetence, panic buying, over exporting food in the lead up to the famine and a lackadaisical attitude in the Bengali Civil Service (though perversely the British military did do a lot to alleviate the famine).
