I found an explanation in Spanish, sorry, but you can see the date...El pago se realizó en concepto de indemnización a una empresa privada, la Compagnie de Saint-Maló, por lo que no se trató de una compra de las islas a Francia.35 El reconocimiento francés a la soberanía española de las islas aumentó los derechos jurídicos de España sobre ellas.36

El primer día de abril de 1767 España recibió formalmente las islas en Port Saint-Louis, quedando los ciento quince colonos franceses bajo el gobierno de Felipe Ruiz Puente, que había arribado al archipiélago con las fragatas Liebre y Esmeralda, siendo acompañado desde Montevideo por Bougainville en la fragata La Boudeuse.37

Esta nueva colonia pasó a depender administrativamente del Gobernador y Capitán General de Buenos Aires, en aquel tiempo Francisco de Paula Bucarelli y Ursúa.38

To spido 1000, well, my answer will be polite and no rude like yours, if you have losses there we have more, and think, what would you say if Argentina gets an island 400 miles off from Britain shore? It is the distance between Argentina and Malvinas, how many miles are from Malvinas and Britain?

@gualok2

When the British expelled the illegal United Provinces military from the British Falklands in 1833 (26 men who had landed illegally a few weeks earlier) the Vernet civilian colonists remained and were not expelled because Vernet had permission for his settlement.

@gualok2 This is so boring. You Argetninians are so childish. The Falklands belong to Britain, they have been for nearly 200 years, and they will belong to Britain for another 200 years. Do you people think that we will just hand them over to you after losing over 250 servicemen back in 82?? I wish that ugly plastic faced Kercher of yours did have cancer! Then she'd shut the fuck up!

@AnonymousEmperor There were none just penguins

[gualok2]

To Anonymus, yes, British got off local people and after that they put people from Britain, in 1835 there were a few inhabitants there, .... I will look at a site where you can get that data....

Advice to Argentinians: Steal your nation's land from its first inhabitants Amerindians (it's OK to exterminate them a bit), then lecture the British about how evil and colonial they are by taking a nearby island from penguins.

@gualok2 I didn't understand that. Do you mean that we took the native people from the Falklands and moved them out?
