Can see both sides in relation to Falklands but democracy has to be respected and the islanders want to remain British.
Argentina did not exist as a nation when the UK took possession of the Falkland Islands. They have no claim on them whatsoever.
Hope they had a safe and successful career

You absolutely should not ask for death to happen
Kids thesedays think you fire a gun using an app on a smartphone so no I think you sit this one out
What to possibly die in a war? 😂😂😂
Most of those lads wouldn’t have gotten to the Falklands, but they’d have made it to the gulf war and beyond
Even though I get pissed when Argentinians say the islands are theirs. I respect both sides. Any lad who's brave enough to pick up a gun is a hero. No matter what side their on
The Japanese brag about the Liancourt Rocks even though it belonged to South Korea and it is called Dokdo, yet as the Japanese calls them Takeshima the same as the Argentinians call the Falkland Malvinas.
Yet Colombia has issues with Nicaragua but the solution is their it is that Korea should be unified under the British Crown so the letter on the statement could say that British Korea opposes Japan over the ownership of the Liancourt Rocks and under British Law if Japan where to gain back the Liancourt they go to war against Britain and British Korea.
Same to what Argentina did with the Falklands as to me I felt that the JSDF will make a share base with the US Armed Forces in Costa Rica and the reason I don’t want Colombia to have rocky relations with Japan.

This is such a horrifically awful take.

When did we start believing that willingness to kill is itself a good thing?

Genuine genuine question for English ppl! Is the island important militarily or economically wise? Or did you guys give full autonomy to people of the island years later?
As for the Argentine people, what would you guys have used the island for years later? During the dictatorship and like modern times around now would it be a vacation spot, new provinces? Or military training centers?
Thanks!
From the uk- the islands have had full autonomy for quite a long time. Although there is a govenor, this is a ceremonial position. The uk remains on the islsnds due to that being what the islanders want, wheras they want as little contact with Argentina as possible.
The plans the junta had were basically evicting, or dissapearing, the islanders, moving a large amount of Argentines to the islands, and proceeding to exploit the resources the islands hold

Seems like you're projecting your own garbage and assumptions onto them.
Its a shame how the English youth of today have turned out compared to these gentlemen. Nowadays the youth label these great men as racists and colonists. Easy times make soft men I suppose.
Because its true! They have been brainwashed and institutionalised to be racist and think they can travel the world and claim land that originally belonged to the native people of the land that already occupied it. England were evil colonist bullies! Thieving British Government and greedy Royal family where power got to their heads 🙄
I don’t know if the English are particularly racist or not, but English/British are definitely colonists at heart. They had the largest empire the planet ever saw for several centuries, and were very territory-hungry until the modern-age.
_Pax Britannica_ somewhat alleviates the amount of damage they caused in comparison to how other countries acquired their territory (such as the UNited States, Germany, Russia, and particularly Spain) but they’re not without their evils too; India suffered greatly under British rule.

First and foremost, the people on the island _wanted_ to remain British. Secondly, you ket one go the second it's claimed, the rest will soon fall. You give an inch, they'll take a mile.

Haha why hold on to your colonial ways. Thats why nato didn't help because its a colony that didn't belong to the uk
It has always belonged to the UK it was uninhabited rocks they have a legit claim to it
@@vampireodyssey5075 the Malvinas belonged to Spain, that's why the UK was asking for permission to Spain for centuries to send "scientific expeditions" there, when they really wanted a piracy base on that side of the world. Spain denied and England cancelled the plans. Simple.
Spain had 32 governors continuously on the islands. England sent a group of settlers anyway, Spain kicked them out, and then Spain and England signed the Nootka Conventions, by which England would NEVER try to settle again in the islands.
Soon later, in the 19th century after Argentina's war of Independence against Spain (Argentina won), Argentina inherited the islands and kept a garrison there. England sent a warship and the islanders (Argentinians, not Spaniards anymore) couldn't fight back and left. England claimed the islands English.
After that Argentina has tried several routes to recover the islands, but still colonized by thieves from 13,000 Km away.
There are UN resolutions on this matter telling England to decolonize.
@@j0hnd0e16 I have seen various peoples attempts at history. This is definitely a poor one
The uk took possession of the falklands in 1690, with them appearing in the world atlas as british as early as 1702. or 65 years before spain would arrive
Spain protested an exhibition, not because it thought the islands were theirs, but because they were scared of the UK
This is why after attacking the UK settlement on the falklands in 1770, they backed off, rebuilt it, and restocked it.
The same happened in 1790. Spain tried to press their claim, failed, and backed away, due to being scared
After argentina declared independence, it explicitly stated in 1824 that the falklands were not theirs, and that they didnt have a claim on it. This is why Vernet asked permission in 1826 and 1828.
Also no law of inheritance would grant Argentina the islands
@@littleshep5502The another guy is correct, you're wrong, and the falklands were discovered by Spain first in an expedition in 1534, the british came to the islands almost 150 years AFTER Spain discovered them and claimed the islands 😂😂😂, colonisation in 2023...
@@hbrl2075 no, Spain didn't discover the islands, and there isn't any evidence of it doing so. Regardless, they failed to land, map, or claim them, meaning the UK claim in 1690 is the first one
