  • To our Argentine friends who insist on their territorial claims. It isn't yours and Great Britain made that perfectly clear to you a while back. So sod off.

  • @111jasy111

    Just because the Pope takes a bloody pencil and divides a continent NOT YET SETTLED between Portugal and Spain in the fifteenth century does not mean that anyone cares.

  • LAS MALVINAS SON ARGENTINAS !!!

  • argentina faught us, and lost

  • @111jasy111

    I'm sure the Spanish did claim all of South America at some point in history, the British used to claim all of the British Isles. It's not relevant to the islands today.

  • @Medeasbiggestfan You are not mentioning the Spaniards for obvious reasons... You don't want to admit Spain claimed the whole region including the islands, long time before Mr Strong... 

  • @111jasy111

    There's no evidence that any of those people set foot on the islands (John Strong definitely did). The Italians, Dutch and Portuguese have never claimed the islands, which they probably would have done if they thought one of their people had landed on them.

    This type of uncertain is a good reason why claiming territory for historic events is problematic. It would be far better for everyone involved to just allow the people of the islands to keep their freedom.

  • @Medeasbiggestfan That's pretty much different from saying he was the first human that landed there. It could have been Americo Vespuccio, Fernando de Magallanes, Sebald de Weert, Camargo, and a long long etc. Do you think none of them had set foot on the islands before? The first map that showed the islands was drawn by Portuguese cartographer Pedro Reinel in 1522. So 170 years later John Strong landed there, thanks to the Portuguese and Spanish maps definetly.

  • @111jasy111

    The first recorded landing on the islands was made by John Strong, Captain of HMS Welfare, on 27 January 1690.

    There is no evidence of any other humans being on the islands before then.
