France: "So, we need someone else to resolve this dispute..." Netherlands: "Yes, someone who wouldn't favor one over another..." Russia: "Umm, I hate you both equally, sooo..."
France and Russia were pretty good friends at the time. This was right before they created an alliance due to their mutual enemies in Germany and Austria
@@tesnacloud Yeah, those two also despised eachother passionately and would probably start a war themselves... And if they didn't it would be in the interest of the Netherlands as both the Spanish and British would've had more to gain from a weak France. It's not just about sentiments, but also about strategy.
The UK will probably get its slice since it has the power to enforce its claim, Chile will probably get a deal with the UK and Argentina will get nothing.
As a Brazilian I must say. The border disputes that we have with are neighbors are nothing serious at all. Both islands are uninhabited and have 0 resources. And towns are built between Uruguay and Brazil all the time and no one cares anyway. You can basically walk freely between Uruguay and Brazil.
@@SamuelChac0n No such thing as Uruguay. That is the occupied territory of Cisplatina. One day we shall drive the Castilians back to their land just like our ancestors did with the moors. Many of you will die but this is sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Uruguayan here! Greatly explained (some things about our independence are slightly wrong tho). Here, nobody cares about those disputes because we get on really well with Brazil, so those two uninhabited regions are not drifting us apart. For the record, Brazil does most of the maintenance of Masoller. I'm not saying it should be theirs, but they seem way more interested than us hahaha
I'm brazilian, and I didn't know about that territory dispute hahah I wouldn't mind if Uruguay actually gained the dispute, neither would I if Brazil did. Anyway, despite our history of occupation, greetings from a neighbor and hermano
@@gustavodeoliveira5254 yeah, I see how disputes in other countries can get super intense, and when I tell foreigners that Uruguay has a dispute they are like "omg so you guys are at war!?!". It seems like here in South America, border disputes are mostly meaningless... Nothing can ruin our friendship anyways, irmão 🇧🇷🇺🇾
@@JuanbianchibOP exactly, most of them is just for convinience, like resolving who's the owner of some island. I love our continent, we are very united and friends with one another

Ecuador and Peru had one of the longest territorial disputes in history. Basically starting after independence with Gran Colombia and ended in 1941 with the treaty of Rio

The last war was in 1995 and they signed a peace agreement in 1998. After that there wasn't any dispute between Perú and Ecuador, and both countries have very good relations since then.
Chile's border disputes: 1) Bolivia's coastline, which has been part of Chile for about 2 centuries now so probably isn't going to change any time soon. 2) Some ice.
@@randomguy-tg7ok Bolivia does still have a Navy up on Lake Tititcaca and on a number of rivers in the Amazon basin. Also even though Bolivia is landlocked a new series of dams and locks on the Rio Maderia and Rio Mamore means that sea going ships can now reach Bolivia!
200 years, 130 years, doesn't matter, its a long-ass time anyway and it's dispute is closed by both countries and an international court, so it's quite settled. Plus Bolivia is maybe the weakest country when it comes to militar power in South America, after maybe those 3 small countries to the north of Brazil
I'm from Suriname... And It's all The Netherlands' fault. We don't lay our claims as strongly as we did before, although it's still taught to be our land in school. And plus, we have astronomically good relations with Guyana and French Guiana (France) despite the border disputes.
Will you make one of these for Oceania? There are a few little curiosities, rather than disputes. The Norfolk Island issue is quite interesting, they were essentially their own country and descendants from the Bounty mutineers (they were moved to the island from Pitcairn). During the 2008 economic crisis, they asked to join Australia, which they did. However, they hate having to pay tax (they didn't before) to access Australian government services like healthcare and welfare. Now New Zealand is also looking at its sea boundaries because of the Zealandia microcontinent, which could result in re-drawing of boundaries with Australia, although the prospect of war breaking out between Aus and NZ for territory is zero. Plus Australia has a billion micro-nations as our constitution states that anyone with any royal blood can declare their own country, and basically every Anglo-Saxon can trace their heritage back to a king at some point, so Australia is full of people claiming their own house is a seperate country.
Malouines itself comes from the port town of St Malo in France, and St Malo was established by a Welshman called Maclou, who later was Sainted, so both names are of British origin.
To add to what's said in the video: "Îles Malouines" (aka Malvinas aka Falklands) were given this name by Bougainville to honor the city of Saint Malo, in Brittany. That city is famous for having been the home port of the "corsaires" (sort of king-licensed pirates) and also of many sailors from the discoveries era.
In the 70's there was actually a near resolution to the Chile/Bolivia conflict. Both countries had military dictators at the time, and there were talks between both governments to grant Bolivia a small strip of coast near the Chile/Peru border (a la DR Congo), but the Peruvians objected to it and it failed. :(
I wouldn't call it a near "resolution", though, since the dispute was resolved with the 1904 Peace Treaty. Everything afterwards has been a long tradition of Bolivian governments supporting irredentism as a way to distract Bolivians from their own domestic problems. And they have been so vocal, that even though there's no actual territorial dispute to be solved, Chile has been open to negotiations a couple times.
@@Bronze_Age_Sea_Person - In the 1883 treaty between Chile and Peru, it was agreed that Chile would need to get the approval of Peru if they wanted to cede former Peruvian territory to any other nation. Some think they added that clause in order to spite Bolivia. Read - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Ancón

Yes, and St. Malo is Breton, and the Bretons are Cornish who fled the Anglo-Saxons, so via St. Malo (being of Bretons i.e. Britons) we can all see that however you slice it, the Falklands are British.

In relation to Chile and Bolivia in 1879 I have to make some corrections: - Bolivia had access to the sea well before 1866, it's just that due to the fact that the border between Chile and Bolivia had never been clearly defined before AND due to the discovery of guano deposits defining a border became an important matter. I should also add that in 1843 Chilean Pres. Manuel Bulnes declared the 23rd Southern parallel as being the northern most border of Chile. Bolivia protested against that and several negotiations were attempted, hence the treaties of 1866 and 1874. - Chilean troops landed in Antofagasta on the 14th of February 1879 and Bolivia declared war first in March 1879. It was during that interval, in march/beginning of April that negotiations were attempted; Chile was not officially at war against Bolivia and Peru until the 5th of April 1879. Peru and Bolivia were Allied, being bound by a secret defensive treaty. MY SOURCES: -- Farcau, Bruce W., The Ten Cents War.

Hello Guyanese here😊 about the dispute between Guyana and suriname is not that serious anymore and I think everyone forget about it. Guyana and suriname are very close now unlike Venezuela and Guyana🙄. So uhmm if I could remember correctly, the previous Guyana government didn't want to start a war but this new one is different. But I hope in the future, Guyana and Venezuela can have a good relationship.
Paraguay has been involved with a couple of doozies of border disputes...the one with Uruguay and Brazil touching off the War of the Triple Alliance (South America's bloodiest conflict, resulting in the death of half of the population of Paraguay), and the Chaco War with Bolivia, which was the last real war between South American nations to date...the notorious Camino de la Muerte is a relic of that conflict.
This isn't a border dispute or anything but it's kinda related. So when I travelled to Uruguay I visited this place called Chuy, the main avenue of which is in the border with Brazil, effectively splitting the town in half. It was very funny and wacky. If you wanted to buy something in the other side of the street, you nedded to find a place to exchange currencies to do so. I suggest you make a video on these situations.
So you have to exchange currencies? When I went to Paraguay, they would accept the brazilian currency very easily, didn't know that in uruguay things wouldn't be so easy haha
Using the words invasion and occupation of Argentina, is to choose a part. Because we Argentines call it recovery. In addition to the fact that he did not speak of the Treaty of Friendship and Trade between Argentina and the UK in which the British government did not make any claim on the islands governed by Buenos Aires, and of the Political and Military Command and the Argentine government and people that the British expelled in 1833, among them the first person to be born in the islands, Argentine daughter of Governor Vernet. And not to mention that the islanders do not have the right of self-determination recognized by the UN, as they are British settlers.
@@Osoemicba Legal claims aside it's soon to be 200 years under British control at some point Argentina may have to accept its long distance relationship ended some time ago.
Do you know about the Beagle Conflict? It was between Chile and Argentina and almost endend in a war. That conflict was the main reason for chile to spy on Argentina during the Falklands War
@Default Profile Picture I've never heard of that. As far as I know, Chilean support was limited to providing British officers access to a Chilean military air radar in Punta Arenas. Which is a small thing, but some argue was a decisive factor in winning the war, as having the carrier air groups providing 24/7 air cover was impossible. With the Chilean radar, the British knew when Argentine planes took off, so the carrier air groups could take off only when they were needed. The British task force sailed from Britain, and their bombers operated from Ascension Island in the Atlantic, so free passage and fuel doesn't sound like something Chile could provide.
@@a2falcone The radar was supplied by the UK, Chile got to keep it after the war. RAF Nimrods and perhaps Canberras (in Chilean markings) were operating from Chile over the South Atlantic. Read about Wing Cdr Sidney Edwards' time in Santiago during the war, he was the 'fixer' with the FACh.
@Default Profile Picture El Reino Unido ayudó a Chile por destruir mucha de la FAA y parte de su armada. La guerra acabó con una Argentina pacífica, últimamente una cosa buena para ambos países.

Regarding land, the last one was settled with Ecuador on 1998 after a military conflict on 1995 over the Cenepa's River Basin. Regarding sea, the last one was settled with Chile on 2014 through diplomacy and a sentence from the International Court of Justice.
I've once heard that, in french, the "s" is almost never pronounced, or never at all, it seems like the case haha (forgive me if that's completely wrong)
We had many border disputes with Chile but most of them were resolved in the 90s, I was not aware that the "hielos continentales" region was still in dispute, but I guess that as long as both leave it alone there's no reason to do nothing about it. Really, I mean, it makes to sense to struggle for something that no one really even has the intention to use or populate.

@@lovelybridge546 I have to agree, I'm Venezuelan and the government doesn't care about them nor give them any right as citizens born in Venezuela (as how our constitution consider the territory)
12:15 NO, NO, NO! Bolivia does NOT claim any sovereignty or legal right over the lost territory. However bitter they may be about losing it, the 1904 Peace Treaty is too solid to be challenged, even by the likes of Evo Morales. What they do have is a political aspiration to gain a sovereign access to the ocean. Since there were inconclusive negotiations on that issue more than once during the 20th century (which involved a corridor next to the Peruvian border, in former Peruvian territory), they claimed in court to have a gained "right to NEGOTIATE a sovereign access to the sea"... which is legal nonsense, as the ICJ ruled. On a side note, Bolivia decreed the expulsion of Chilean citizens the same day it declared war on Chile, so that wasn't a cause of the war. Apart from that mistake, it's a good summary of the direct causes, though.
Love the video, I just wish it didn't make it out to be Chile immediately declaring war and steamrolling Bolivia out of the coast. Chile occupied one port on the border to stop Bolivia from auctioning off properties they seized from the chileans they exiled. This lead to a brief period of negotiations that ended when Bolivia declared war first and peru was obligated to join them due to a secret military alliance. At the time the allied countries were expected to win the war due to having a larger combined force, however this force was inexperienced and mismanaged while the Chilean forces were more experienced and competently managed. I don't mind people supporting Bolivia's claim to the coast, I just wish they'd acknowledge Bolivia started the war
The Falkland / Malvinas dispute is poorly described. Teatris between Spanish and England, the effective occupation of Argentina until 1830, the usurpation by force of England, etc. isn´t mentioned. Today the principal argument of the british is the local desire to be part of england (Argentina ignore that argument because they think that is en artificial population, not native). The principal argument of Argentina is the inheritance from Spain and the effective control of the area until british invade it. In your video you don´t mention that Magallanes discovered the islands in 1520 under Spanish flag, that the french established in 1764 but they abandoned in 1769 when they recognized spanish authority, and they mantain it until 1810, when was transferred to the Argentine authority. A very unfair video.
There is something terribly wrong in the Question of the Falkland Islands: the right of peoples to self-determination is not applicable because the United Kingdom annexed the territory from Argentina by the use of force in 1833 and the relevant United Nations resolutions and the International Court of Justice have already made absolutely clear that colonies that exist due to a gross violation of the principle of territorial integrity are not entitled to an exclusive right to self-determination, the self-determination of the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands is one and the same with that of the Argentine people over the entire Argentine territory including the archipelago, they are limited to participating of the democratic life of the Argentine Republic, but they are not entitled to serve as arbitrators in a territorial dispute of this nature where usurpation is present, that would not only deprive an entire people of its territorial rights, but it would establish dangerous precedents for the mechanism of international law. If you are going to do a video that has this kind of topics, then at least try to make it accurate, please. This case is a manifestation of colonialism and the United Nations has compromised to erradicate that evil from the world. By not explaining the correct functioning of self-determination you are just spreading British propaganda to your audience and thus supporting colonialism.
@@Spartan-jg4bf That's an extremely weak argument that, moreover, has no place in a juridical discussion. Spain gained the territory from conquest, not Argentina. Argentina, as well as every state in Hispanic America, is the result of the efforts of a creole people, this is, a people birthed from European and precolonial American metissage, fighting together against its colonial captor. Saying that Argentina has no right to its territory because it was a Spanish colony is like saying that African, Asian and Oceanian states do not have a right to their territory because they were colonies. The truth is that the only difference between these is that Argentina freed itself from colonialism through might, while African, Asian and Oceanian states freed themselves from colonialism through right, thanks to the decolonization process started by the United Nations. The case of the Falkland Islands is not comparable to that of Argentina. There is a crucial difference between both. Spain gained the territory by colonialism, Argentina regained the territory from Spanish colonialism. On the other hand, British colonialism gained the territory from Argentina, thus, comparing both colonial situations is not comparable in the least, in fact, it is absurd. You also mention German, Italian and other European descendants that live today in Argentina. This is completely irrelevant for international law because the same does not depend on ethnicity, that would certainly be controversial to say the least. However, if that means so much to you, then you need to know that the Argentines that founded Argentina were a creole people, meaning that they were a new people birthed from European and precolonial American metissage, as well as most peoples in Latin America, from Mexico to Chile, the fact that Argentina has more European population is not due to colonialism, but to the massive immigration wave that did not become part of the picture until the first half of the 20th century, an European immigration that was second only to the United States of America. So, again, there is simply no comparison there.
@UCWYRYL_E2tLPB7_HeXJs3UQ Simple fact is Argentina was established on land obtained by conquest even after independence from Spain you continued to steal native land in Patagonia, it a country that harboured Nazi war criminals, killed tens of thousands of its own citzens and defaults on its national debts every few years. Maybe you should focus on organising the territories you have already stolen into a successful state, rather than trying to steal more? The bottom line is no British government will ever had the Falklands to Argentina after all the blood and treasure spent on defending them and recapturing them..
@@Captain_Yorkie1 He is not referring to the Falkland Islands themselves, he is referring to the entire Argentine territory, but that's correct. The first civilian population of the Falkland Islands were French, then they left the territory when France ceded its rights to Spain and then the islands were populated by Spanish authorities only. The next civilian population of the islands was the one placed there by Argentina. Half of this population fled due to the American attack of 1831 and the other half was criminally evicted by British authorities or had no other choice but to leave the territory when the British took control of the Falkland Islands that same year in 1833.
I never understood why big countries like brazil care about some random uninhabited island with 10 trees while they have a massive rainforest within their borders. Like what is the point. Why would you spent energy and time on something like this.
Dude, we don't care actually. I'm pretty sure 99,999% of Brazilians wouldn't mind if Uruguay and Bolivia took those islands, since they have no inhabitants nor anything interesting there, and we won't fuss over these things. Brazilians don't want to go on a war with no one in this world, not even with the shitty dictator of Venezuela. I'm pretty sure we wouldn't even fight against Hitler if they didn't sink our ships back in the 40s.
@@Bronze_Age_Sea_Person I know there is not going to be a war over some random uninhabited island. It is just strange to me that governments of these countries care so much about basically nothing. Youre blowing things way out of proportion by talking about war. But that was not my point.
Haroen Eissa The border dispute is just a little claim, it’s not like both governments even give a shit. South Americans have like zero hostility with each other’s.
I remember hearing that Ecuador was once a much larger country with access to the Amazon rain forest before Peru stole their land. Not sure how true this was but they almost had a war back in the 90s.
Ecuador was not a larger country, it was part of a larger country. Gran Colombia comprised Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Panama. However TLDR big territory horrible geography and poor government communication (due to horrible geography)made Venezuela and Ecuador peace out of Gran Colombia, so Gran Colombia was no more. Apart from that, the only major loss was when daddy Roosevelt decided he wanted a canal. Colombia didn’t want one or _something_ so the US said “fuck isolationism, fuck you Washington” and invaded the territory, ‘liberating’ it and voilà the birth of Panama, which was technically going to happen anyway (probably) because the government wasn’t doing such a swell job administrating Panama _(due to horrible geography)_ so they just made it happen quicker. Unless something else happened that I’m blindly unaware of, it was poor geography, bad luck and nationalism that made Ecuador lose access to the Amazon. At least a significant part, because even today they still have (though limited) parts of the forest in the country.
@@General.Knowledge Paraguayan here, Bolivia never had effective control over the Chaco region, they only based their "claim" over old maps. Paraguay won the war, but ended-up giving an small portion towards the north for some reason (which I assume was to grant Bolivia access to the Paraguay River).
In our country is taught that there was a war with Peru back in the 40s, but a clear border was not settled, then in the 90s Peru's military invaded the territory and a conflict was started. During this war, the president of Peru, visited the zone and the forces of Peru told us that if something happens to the president, they will bomb out capital, Quito. At the end of the war, there were more Peruvian casualties, but international courts decided that the territory belongs to Peru. Now we kinda hate those guys.

Queen Elizabeth II (and a panel she appointed) arbitrated it in 1978, the Argentine Junta rejected it and nearly went to war. The USA told them to stop it or else, and got the then Pope to intervene as a 'peacemaker' to save the Junta's face. The Pope had virtually jack to say when Catholic Argentina was killing non-Catholic British.

The hard thing for an outsider to figure is why the Portuguese part of South America remained a single country on independence, while the Spanish part fractured into a host of often mutually-hostile countries. Why no United States of New Spain?
@Conrad Bröeder I was puzzling more about why the Spanish empire broke apart, rather than why the Portuguese one remained intact. As an Australian, it's as if the six British colonies in Australia refused to federate in 1900 and remained six independent and possibly hostile countries.
This article answers that same questions, you can translate this with Google, from the BBC: www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-45439574 I'm trying to translate a video about it: 1. Cities in hispanic-america were too far from each other, unlike Brazil, they were closed and were mutually dependent, economically and culturally 2. Brazil didn't have any single university, they had to study in Portugal, in hispanic america there were 23 universities, so, every city developed diverse ideologies. 3. The independence was different, Brazil was a kingdom in the Portuguese empire, they were about to be separated and they fought to keep together, not to be independent, their war lasted two year, meanwhile in hispanic america when Napoleon defeated the king of Spain there was no power over the colonies, so each major city formed temporary governments, one independently from the other, the wars of independence in these countries lasted +20 years. This is the video I translated: ruclips.net/video/Wh-rizIpB3Y/видео.html There's a more detailed video from the latin american BBC: ruclips.net/video/W3yHdmZ_rF8/видео.html
@@allenjenkins7947 Bolivar predicted 'Tyrants will rise from my tomb.', i.e. those who sought power in South America were too power-crazed for an Australian-style federation to emerge, but it looks like in Victoria, things have finally turned out as Bolivar feared for South America.
There are many reasons. 1. The territories were divided into different vice royalties under the Spanish Empire. The distances from Colombia to say Argentina or Chile are huge, specially in pre-steam powered times. 2. As those territories population evolved, there was mixing between Spanish, criollos, natives and freed slaves.That mix happened differently in each place. 3. The independence wars did happen in a short time period, but not simultaneously. So, when a territory was liberated, another one was under Spanish rule. Also the movement started due to the collapse of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain. While some territories declared outright independence, others claimed they were still loyal to Supreme Central Junta or Cortes. While the Independence national heroes are some in Argentina or Chile, there are others in Venezuela or Colombia. 4. Geographic boundaries. Aside from being a vast territory, the continent's geography doesn't help to connect a single goverment institutions. The Andes are a high wall which slows down human movement. There also are dense jungles, large deserts, wide rivers. The first road to connect the entire continent was finished in the mid 20th century. 5. British intervention. The UK was the hegemon of the period. It didn't fancy having another US sized non-European ruled country to deal with near its colonies (British Guyana, the Caribbean, etc). So they provided funds, weapons and encouragement to each state that wanted to secede from another. 6. Local ruling classes. A large part of South American elites weren't that nationalistic. Once they didn't have to pay taxes to the Spanish, they showed no problems in trading food produce for consumer goods and manufactures with the British and fitting into their schemes for the region.
Because the Portuguese lands were less settled, the population was centered on the coastal regions, so it was culturally cohesive. rainforests don’t dispute anything-So upon independence Brazil was united culturally which allowed for political unity-Unlike Spanish America. Spanish America gained its freedom by war, Brazil gained its by a slight of hand, a switch of crowns, and a benign treaty with Portugal 🇵🇹 🇧🇷
I think Venezuele also argues that Aruba Bonaire and Curacao should be part of their territory, and not part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Pretty sure the locals would not be a fan of becoming part of a failing state though.
As an Argentinean i approve the fact that the UK (One of my favorite countries) rule the Islands. They are better with you than with us. Also i expect that nothing wrong happens between Chile and us. We are Brothers since ours independents and we have to work and progress together.
Perú and Chile still have a minimal territorial dispute between the Triángulo Terrestre, a strip of land of around 300m² in the coast of their border. I don't know if it has already been fixed, but none cares about it so it does not matter that much. Yes 300m²,thats why

This is related to your future videos of dispute. Eastern Malaysia. I do not know if Indonesia has a dispute on Sarawak against Malaysia but I am really sure that my country (Philippines) will revive (probably they are doing it right now) our Dispute on Sabah. A back story. In late 1630's, Sulu Sultanate helped Borneo Sultanate (now Brunei) in a battle (I do not know where in Borneo island it was) and they both won it. Now the Brunei was so happy that someone helped them and gifted Sabah to the Sulu Sultanate. Now when the British Empire occupied Malaysia, the Sulu Sultanate RENTED Sabah (to possibly avoid war). And when Malaysia was liberated in 1963 and the British PASSED the rent responsibility (CEDED according to Malaysia) to them. Now Marcos had a Operation called MERDEKA which is to claim Sabah with force after Macapagal sent some Philippine Tribal Groups to Sabah trying to diplomatically claim Sabah from the British / Malaysia. Now back to MERDEKA. Marcos was about to claim it but a Man sang Marcos' plan towards Malaysia. And it turned out to be Ninoy Aquino. And now the Mainstream Media reported a "Jabidah Massacre" which was a propaganda against Marcos. Now after some time/years that Marcos felt that our country is starting to be unstable, Marcos declared Martial Law to stop the force of Communism because from his early years, there are some attacks by CPP-NPA-NDF forces to the Philippines. Now the Mainstream Media did not expose the real problem but made propagandas to the Marcoses with the last second help of a US-CIA group to bring the Marcos fam to Hawaii instead to Paoay, Ilocos Norte. And when Corazon Aquino took over the palace without and official election, there was the moment that Philippines stopped the claim on Sabah. Now the Duterte Admin is trying to revive it because of the previous history. So in short. The Ninoy Aquino commited treason for helping CPP-NPA-NDF, and Malaysia
@@joshuaosullivan2761 They claim they inherited it from their former colonial governors, Spain because Pope Alexander VI issued the Papal Bull inter Caetera in 1492, dividing the globe up between Portugal and Spain. It is the same reasoning they use for their claim to Antarctic.
There were already natives living in the Falkland Islands when the English arrived and occupied the islands, the English were Argentines, the English will never tell that part of the story because it does not suit them, and in the United Nations they recognized that the islands are Argentine for many reasons. What stands out the most is its proximity to our country and that they are linked by the marine platform
Not directly related, but Guyana is the worst trade in history. See, the part of the USA called New York was actually owned by Dutch, and was called "New Amsterdam", the Dutch actually traded Guyana for New York basically, because they believed that plantations and such would be the future of business. The USA is mostly all one joined country because of how smart they were with trading land.
The Dutch weren't daft to make that trade. Plantations were where the big money was at back then. For instance, during the American Revolution, Britain sent a big chunk of its military power to the Caribbean rather than to America. That today seems like lunacy, but back then the Caribbean was a money making machine of far more value to the 18th century UK economy than the 13 colonies. Britain's primary fear was the French or Dutch pinching them! Just as the British had no way of knowing that retaining the 13 colonies should have been the higher priority, the Dutch had no way to know that New Amsterdam would one day become one of the world's most important cities. And since we're into alternate histories with these speculations, even if New Amsterdam had remained Dutch, it's quite possible that it would never have become anything like the metropolis we know today.

The argentinian claim of the Malvinas/Falklands is based on the fact that, after the independence, the United Provinces asserted sovereignty by founding a settlement that was then taken by the british in 1833. This claim is backed by historical documents such as letters between the government of Buenos Aires and Vernet, the appointed governor in the Malvinas. There's aswell a formal petition made by an english whaler to the government of Buenos Aires asking for permission to fish in the island waters in 1813 and so. I don't mean to settle an issue which i'm obviously biased about, but rather to correct the information given in the video.
Old treaties and political gymnastics does not change the fact the people living on the Falklands wish to remain British and probably will for a long time
@@reddyshreddy5050 again, i'm not trying to start a debate over here, but, since you mention the right of selfdetermination guaranteed by the UN, that right isn't applied to "implanted population", such as the one in the Malvinas/Falklands. This is not my opinion, but rather a ressolution of the UN committee regarding the situation of the Malvinas/Falklands.
@@spidos1000 having read (I assume) that I don't wish to start a debate in the comments, why do you instigate? Why do you feel the need of insulting? I just need to clarify the information given in the video, because It's not right. For Argentina, the Malvinas/Falklands issue is a major historical injustice. And, moreover, It's unresolved. Every single supranational organism said "Argentina and the UK MUST talk in order to get a solution". This has not happened, due to the fact that the UK doesn't have the will to talk. For the last time, I don't have the right to say who is correct and who isn't, my possition on the issue is super biased. And, for that, I don't wish to start any debate.
I'd just like to say, also for the sake of adding information: The British were the first to discover the uninhabited islands, and the second to set up a settlement after the French. The French handed their settlement over to Spain, and eventually both Britain and Spain had to leave the islands, but Britain left behind a plaque with their claim on the islands. So that's all the basis for our claim on the islands. And about Vernet's settlement: It was originally set up as a business venture to fish and farm on the Falklands, it had the permission of both the Argentinians and the British, Vernet even asked the British for protection if they decided to re-settle the islands. But later, the Argentinians appointed Vernet as the governor of the islands, thereby claiming possession of the islands, which actively went against Britain's existent claim on the islands. Then Vernet used his position to stop American ships from fishing in the area, capturing three ships, which caused the Americans to attack the settlement in retaliation and clear the islands of Argentinian control, until they returned later to set up a garrison. 80% of that garrison's soldiers were British mercenaries. When Britain decided to take control of the islands again (which, to them, was their right, as they had the oldest existing claim to the islands. And because the settlement had been going against both the British and the Americans), the British garrison refused to fight the British soldiers, which resulted in a surrender, and a bloodless capture of the islands. It's also worth mentioning that the remaining Argentinian settlers weren't expelled, only the soldiers, in fact the settlers were encouraged to stay, even paid to. Also about the "implanted population" of the islands. It's worth keeping in mind that the islands were uninhabited when they were discovered, they had no natives, and the British were the second nation to make a settlement there in recorded history. Unlike Australia which was settled around the same time, the Falklands had no natives, so it's hard to say that the Falklands had an "implanted population". Plus, implanting a population is the same thing that the Argentinians were trying to accomplish when they built settlements. Of course I'm biased too, but I just wanted to add the other side of the story, as it were
i wonder who is the 3 person that voted to be an indpendent falkland. edit: also imagine if you live in a country which most of the area are just disputed.
Well, they voted against the "Falkland Islands to retain their current political status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom". As far as we know, they could've voted to change that status for further integration with the UK.

Why there's not a single video in english about Malvinas/Falklands dispute that mention Luis Vernet, the governor sent by Argentina in 1824 to take position of the islands when were unclaimed and without population. Every country has a different version of the facts
@@peterfireflylund What about never? We gave martyrs & shed blood for saving the pressed Turks in there. Don't look at the topic just from 1 side, read Turkish archives too...
You forgot to mention that before 1833 there was an Argentinean settlement and there was an argentinean governor for the island too, and the British came and invaded them throwing out the people that lived in there
Vernet had a trading licence from London and the only people expelled were the military installed by the United Provinces (proto Argentina) and the civillians remained, all but three whom didn't go back to UP. The Argentine state also signed away the rights to the Spanish claim in a treaty with GB in 1850.

Will you make one of these for Oceania? There are a few little curiosities, rather than disputes. The Norfolk Island issue is quite interesting, they were essentially their own country and descendants from the Bounty mutineers (they were moved to the island from Pitcairn). During the 2008 economic crisis, they asked to join Australia, which they did. However, they hate having to pay tax (they didn't before) to access Australian government services like healthcare and welfare. Now New Zealand is also looking at its sea boundaries because of the Zealandia microcontinent, which could result in re-drawing of boundaries with Australia, although the prospect of war breaking out between Aus and NZ for territory is zero. Plus Australia has a billion micro-nations as our constitution states that anyone with any royal blood can declare their own country, and basically every Anglo-Saxon can trace their heritage back to a king at some point, so Australia is full of people claiming their own house is a seperate country.
Wasn't Norfolk a prison island in the XIX century? under Australia's (or maybe UK's direct) control?

You saw my comment on the other video
Avery the Cuban-American is in every comment section. You can’t change my mind.
To add to what's said in the video: "Îles Malouines" (aka Malvinas aka Falklands) were given this name by Bougainville to honor the city of Saint Malo, in Brittany. That city is famous for having been the home port of the "corsaires" (sort of king-licensed pirates) and also of many sailors from the discoveries era.
In the 70's there was actually a near resolution to the Chile/Bolivia conflict. Both countries had military dictators at the time, and there were talks between both governments to grant Bolivia a small strip of coast near the Chile/Peru border (a la DR Congo), but the Peruvians objected to it and it failed. :(
If this was made on Chile's territory, why did the Peruvian government think they had any saying on the matter?
I wouldn't call it a near "resolution", though, since the dispute was resolved with the 1904 Peace Treaty. Everything afterwards has been a long tradition of Bolivian governments supporting irredentism as a way to distract Bolivians from their own domestic problems. And they have been so vocal, that even though there's no actual territorial dispute to be solved, Chile has been open to negotiations a couple times.
@@Bronze_Age_Sea_Person - In the 1883 treaty between Chile and Peru, it was agreed that Chile would need to get the approval of Peru if they wanted to cede former Peruvian territory to any other nation.

In relation to Chile and Bolivia in 1879 I have to make some corrections:
- Bolivia had access to the sea well before 1866, it's just that due to the fact that the border between Chile and Bolivia had never been clearly defined before AND due to the discovery of guano deposits defining a border became an important matter. I should also add that in 1843 Chilean Pres. Manuel Bulnes declared the 23rd Southern parallel as being the northern most border of Chile. Bolivia protested against that and several negotiations were attempted, hence the treaties of 1866 and 1874.
- Chilean troops landed in Antofagasta on the 14th of February 1879 and Bolivia declared war first in March 1879. It was during that interval, in march/beginning of April that negotiations were attempted; Chile was not officially at war against Bolivia and Peru until the 5th of April 1879. Peru and Bolivia were Allied, being bound by a secret defensive treaty.

@Default Profile Picture I've never heard of that. As far as I know, Chilean support was limited to providing British officers access to a Chilean military air radar in Punta Arenas. Which is a small thing, but some argue was a decisive factor in winning the war, as having the carrier air groups providing 24/7 air cover was impossible. With the Chilean radar, the British knew when Argentine planes took off, so the carrier air groups could take off only when they were needed.
The British task force sailed from Britain, and their bombers operated from Ascension Island in the Atlantic, so free passage and fuel doesn't sound like something Chile could provide.

@@lovelybridge546 I have to agree, I'm Venezuelan and the government doesn't care about them nor give them any right as citizens born in Venezuela (as how our constitution consider the territory)
What are you talking about? The dispute has more than 120 years
12:15 NO, NO, NO! Bolivia does NOT claim any sovereignty or legal right over the lost territory. However bitter they may be about losing it, the 1904 Peace Treaty is too solid to be challenged, even by the likes of Evo Morales.
What they do have is a political aspiration to gain a sovereign access to the ocean. Since there were inconclusive negotiations on that issue more than once during the 20th century (which involved a corridor next to the Peruvian border, in former Peruvian territory), they claimed in court to have a gained "right to NEGOTIATE a sovereign access to the sea"... which is legal nonsense, as the ICJ ruled.
On a side note, Bolivia decreed the expulsion of Chilean citizens the same day it declared war on Chile, so that wasn't a cause of the war. Apart from that mistake, it's a good summary of the direct causes, though.
Love the video, I just wish it didn't make it out to be Chile immediately declaring war and steamrolling Bolivia out of the coast. Chile occupied one port on the border to stop Bolivia from auctioning off properties they seized from the chileans they exiled. This lead to a brief period of negotiations that ended when Bolivia declared war first and peru was obligated to join them due to a secret military alliance. At the time the allied countries were expected to win the war due to having a larger combined force, however this force was inexperienced and mismanaged while the Chilean forces were more experienced and competently managed. I don't mind people supporting Bolivia's claim to the coast, I just wish they'd acknowledge Bolivia started the war
Oh man I've been waiting this video for so long
Just give Bolivia their coast back smh you don’t need that much coast
Great lesson! Always learning with you ☺️
The Falkland / Malvinas dispute is poorly described. Teatris between Spanish and England, the effective occupation of Argentina until 1830, the usurpation by force of England, etc. isn´t mentioned. Today the principal argument of the british is the local desire to be part of england (Argentina ignore that argument because they think that is en artificial population, not native). The principal argument of Argentina is the inheritance from Spain and the effective control of the area until british invade it. In your video you don´t mention that Magallanes discovered the islands in 1520 under Spanish flag, that the french established in 1764 but they abandoned in 1769 when they recognized spanish authority, and they mantain it until 1810, when was transferred to the Argentine authority. A very unfair video.
I love the fact that my country is relaxing between the territorial disputes
There is something terribly wrong in the Question of the Falkland Islands: the right of peoples to self-determination is not applicable because the United Kingdom annexed the territory from Argentina by the use of force in 1833 and the relevant United Nations resolutions and the International Court of Justice have already made absolutely clear that colonies that exist due to a gross violation of the principle of territorial integrity are not entitled to an exclusive right to self-determination, the self-determination of the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands is one and the same with that of the Argentine people over the entire Argentine territory including the archipelago, they are limited to participating of the democratic life of the Argentine Republic, but they are not entitled to serve as arbitrators in a territorial dispute of this nature where usurpation is present, that would not only deprive an entire people of its territorial rights, but it would establish dangerous precedents for the mechanism of international law.
If you are going to do a video that has this kind of topics, then at least try to make it accurate, please. This case is a manifestation of colonialism and the United Nations has compromised to erradicate that evil from the world. By not explaining the correct functioning of self-determination you are just spreading British propaganda to your audience and thus supporting colonialism.
Argentina annexed its territory from the natives, so you guy's should maybe go back to Germany, Italy etc...
@@Spartan-jg4bf That's an extremely weak argument that, moreover, has no place in a juridical discussion. Spain gained the territory from conquest, not Argentina. Argentina, as well as every state in Hispanic America, is the result of the efforts of a creole people, this is, a people birthed from European and precolonial American metissage, fighting together against its colonial captor. Saying that Argentina has no right to its territory because it was a Spanish colony is like saying that African, Asian and Oceanian states do not have a right to their territory because they were colonies. The truth is that the only difference between these is that Argentina freed itself from colonialism through might, while African, Asian and Oceanian states freed themselves from colonialism through right, thanks to the decolonization process started by the United Nations.
The case of the Falkland Islands is not comparable to that of Argentina. There is a crucial difference between both. Spain gained the territory by colonialism, Argentina regained the territory from Spanish colonialism. On the other hand, British colonialism gained the territory from Argentina, thus, comparing both colonial situations is not comparable in the least, in fact, it is absurd.
You also mention German, Italian and other European descendants that live today in Argentina. This is completely irrelevant for international law because the same does not depend on ethnicity, that would certainly be controversial to say the least. However, if that means so much to you, then you need to know that the Argentines that founded Argentina were a creole people, meaning that they were a new people birthed from European and precolonial American metissage, as well as most peoples in Latin America, from Mexico to Chile, the fact that Argentina has more European population is not due to colonialism, but to the massive immigration wave that did not become part of the picture until the first half of the 20th century, an European immigration that was second only to the United States of America. So, again, there is simply no comparison there.
@@Spartan-jg4bf the original would be the British. Technically the French but they didn't document/claim it.
@UCWYRYL_E2tLPB7_HeXJs3UQ Simple fact is Argentina was established on land obtained by conquest even after independence from Spain you continued to steal native land in Patagonia, it a country that harboured Nazi war criminals, killed tens of thousands of its own citzens and defaults on its national debts every few years. Maybe you should focus on organising the territories you have already stolen into a successful state, rather than trying to steal more? The bottom line is no British government will ever had the Falklands to Argentina after all the blood and treasure spent on defending them and recapturing them..
@@Captain_Yorkie1 He is not referring to the Falkland Islands themselves, he is referring to the entire Argentine territory, but that's correct. The first civilian population of the Falkland Islands were French, then they left the territory when France ceded its rights to Spain and then the islands were populated by Spanish authorities only. The next civilian population of the islands was the one placed there by Argentina. Half of this population fled due to the American attack of 1831 and the other half was criminally evicted by British authorities or had no other choice but to leave the territory when the British took control of the Falkland Islands that same year in 1833.
I never understood why big countries like brazil care about some random uninhabited island with 10 trees while they have a massive rainforest within their borders. Like what is the point. Why would you spent energy and time on something like this.
Dude, we don't care actually. I'm pretty sure 99,999% of Brazilians wouldn't mind if Uruguay and Bolivia took those islands, since they have no inhabitants nor anything interesting there, and we won't fuss over these things. Brazilians don't want to go on a war with no one in this world, not even with the shitty dictator of Venezuela.

I remember hearing that Ecuador was once a much larger country with access to the Amazon rain forest before Peru stole their land. Not sure how true this was but they almost had a war back in the 90s.
Yea they had a war in the 40s
Ecuador was not a larger country, it was part of a larger country.
Gran Colombia comprised Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Panama.
However TLDR big territory horrible geography and poor government communication (due to horrible geography)made Venezuela and Ecuador peace out of Gran Colombia, so Gran Colombia was no more.
Apart from that, the only major loss was when daddy Roosevelt decided he wanted a canal. Colombia didn’t want one or _something_ so the US said “fuck isolationism, fuck you Washington” and invaded the territory, ‘liberating’ it and voilà the birth of Panama, which was technically going to happen anyway (probably) because the government wasn’t doing such a swell job administrating Panama _(due to horrible geography)_ so they just made it happen quicker.
Unless something else happened that I’m blindly unaware of, it was poor geography, bad luck and nationalism that made Ecuador lose access to the Amazon.
At least a significant part, because even today they still have (though limited) parts of the forest in the country.
Bolivia lost a lot to Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil as well
@@General.Knowledge Paraguayan here, Bolivia never had effective control over the Chaco region, they only based their "claim" over old maps.
Paraguay won the war, but ended-up giving an small portion towards the north for some reason (which I assume was to grant Bolivia access to the Paraguay River).
In our country is taught that there was a war with Peru back in the 40s, but a clear border was not settled, then in the 90s Peru's military invaded the territory and a conflict was started. During this war, the president of Peru, visited the zone and the forces of Peru told us that if something happens to the president, they will bomb out capital, Quito. At the end of the war, there were more Peruvian casualties, but international courts decided that the territory belongs to Peru. Now we kinda hate those guys.

There was another dispute between Chile and Argentina over Tierra del Fuego. I can’t remember if it was the pope or the president of Notre Dame that mediated that one.
Queen Elizabeth II (and a panel she appointed) arbitrated it in 1978, the Argentine Junta rejected it and nearly went to war. The USA told them to stop it or else, and got the then Pope to intervene as a 'peacemaker' to save the Junta's face. The Pope had virtually jack to say when Catholic Argentina was killing non-Catholic British.

The hard thing for an outsider to figure is why the Portuguese part of South America remained a single country on independence, while the Spanish part fractured into a host of often mutually-hostile countries. Why no United States of New Spain?
@Conrad Bröeder I was puzzling more about why the Spanish empire broke apart, rather than why the Portuguese one remained intact. As an Australian, it's as if the six British colonies in Australia refused to federate in 1900 and remained six independent and possibly hostile countries.
This article answers that same questions, you can translate this with Google, from the BBC: www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-45439574
I'm trying to translate a video about it:
1. Cities in hispanic-america were too far from each other, unlike Brazil, they were closed and were mutually dependent, economically and culturally
2. Brazil didn't have any single university, they had to study in Portugal, in hispanic america there were 23 universities, so, every city developed diverse ideologies.
3. The independence was different, Brazil was a kingdom in the Portuguese empire, they were about to be separated and they fought to keep together, not to be independent, their war lasted two year, meanwhile in hispanic america when Napoleon defeated the king of Spain there was no power over the colonies, so each major city formed temporary governments, one independently from the other, the wars of independence in these countries lasted +20 years.
This is the video I translated: ruclips.net/video/Wh-rizIpB3Y/видео.html

@@allenjenkins7947 Bolivar predicted 'Tyrants will rise from my tomb.', i.e. those who sought power in South America were too power-crazed for an Australian-style federation to emerge, but it looks like in Victoria, things have finally turned out as Bolivar feared for South America.
There are many reasons.
1. The territories were divided into different vice royalties under the Spanish Empire. The distances from Colombia to say Argentina or Chile are huge, specially in pre-steam powered times.
2. As those territories population evolved, there was mixing between Spanish, criollos, natives and freed slaves.That mix happened differently in each place.
3. The independence wars did happen in a short time period, but not simultaneously. So, when a territory was liberated, another one was under Spanish rule. Also the movement started due to the collapse of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain. While some territories declared outright independence, others claimed they were still loyal to Supreme Central Junta or Cortes. While the Independence national heroes are some in Argentina or Chile, there are others in Venezuela or Colombia.
4. Geographic boundaries. Aside from being a vast territory, the continent's geography doesn't help to connect a single goverment institutions. The Andes are a high wall which slows down human movement. There also are dense jungles, large deserts, wide rivers. The first road to connect the entire continent was finished in the mid 20th century.
5. British intervention. The UK was the hegemon of the period. It didn't fancy having another US sized non-European ruled country to deal with near its colonies (British Guyana, the Caribbean, etc). So they provided funds, weapons and encouragement to each state that wanted to secede from another.
6. Local ruling classes. A large part of South American elites weren't that nationalistic. Once they didn't have to pay taxes to the Spanish, they showed no problems in trading food produce for consumer goods and manufactures with the British and fitting into their schemes for the region.
Because the Portuguese lands were less settled, the population was centered on the coastal regions, so it was culturally cohesive. rainforests don’t dispute anything-So upon independence Brazil was united culturally which allowed for political unity-Unlike Spanish America.
Spanish America gained its freedom by war, Brazil gained its by a slight of hand, a switch of crowns, and a benign treaty with Portugal 🇵🇹 🇧🇷

This is related to your future videos of dispute. Eastern Malaysia. I do not know if Indonesia has a dispute on Sarawak against Malaysia but I am really sure that my country (Philippines) will revive (probably they are doing it right now) our Dispute on Sabah. A back story. In late 1630's, Sulu Sultanate helped Borneo Sultanate (now Brunei) in a battle (I do not know where in Borneo island it was) and they both won it. Now the Brunei was so happy that someone helped them and gifted Sabah to the Sulu Sultanate. Now when the British Empire occupied Malaysia, the Sulu Sultanate RENTED Sabah (to possibly avoid war). And when Malaysia was liberated in 1963 and the British PASSED the rent responsibility (CEDED according to Malaysia) to them. Now Marcos had a Operation called MERDEKA which is to claim Sabah with force after Macapagal sent some Philippine Tribal Groups to Sabah trying to diplomatically claim Sabah from the British / Malaysia. Now back to MERDEKA. Marcos was about to claim it but a Man sang Marcos' plan towards Malaysia. And it turned out to be Ninoy Aquino. And now the Mainstream Media reported a "Jabidah Massacre" which was a propaganda against Marcos. Now after some time/years that Marcos felt that our country is starting to be unstable, Marcos declared Martial Law to stop the force of Communism because from his early years, there are some attacks by CPP-NPA-NDF forces to the Philippines. Now the Mainstream Media did not expose the real problem but made propagandas to the Marcoses with the last second help of a US-CIA group to bring the Marcos fam to Hawaii instead to Paoay, Ilocos Norte. And when Corazon Aquino took over the palace without and official election, there was the moment that Philippines stopped the claim on Sabah. Now the Duterte Admin is trying to revive it because of the previous history. So in short. The Ninoy Aquino commited treason for helping CPP-NPA-NDF, and Malaysia

Spain had control of the esequibo then england stole it Venezuela is own of the esequibo
Not directly related, but Guyana is the worst trade in history. See, the part of the USA called New York was actually owned by Dutch, and was called "New Amsterdam", the Dutch actually traded Guyana for New York basically, because they believed that plantations and such would be the future of business. The USA is mostly all one joined country because of how smart they were with trading land.
The Dutch weren't daft to make that trade. Plantations were where the big money was at back then. For instance, during the American Revolution, Britain sent a big chunk of its military power to the Caribbean rather than to America. That today seems like lunacy, but back then the Caribbean was a money making machine of far more value to the 18th century UK economy than the 13 colonies. Britain's primary fear was the French or Dutch pinching them!
Just as the British had no way of knowing that retaining the 13 colonies should have been the higher priority, the Dutch had no way to know that New Amsterdam would one day become one of the world's most important cities. And since we're into alternate histories with these speculations, even if New Amsterdam had remained Dutch, it's quite possible that it would never have become anything like the metropolis we know today.

The argentinian claim of the Malvinas/Falklands is based on the fact that, after the independence, the United Provinces asserted sovereignty by founding a settlement that was then taken by the british in 1833. This claim is backed by historical documents such as letters between the government of Buenos Aires and Vernet, the appointed governor in the Malvinas. There's aswell a formal petition made by an english whaler to the government of Buenos Aires asking for permission to fish in the island waters in 1813 and so.

@@reddyshreddy5050 again, i'm not trying to start a debate over here, but, since you mention the right of selfdetermination guaranteed by the UN, that right isn't applied to "implanted population", such as the one in the Malvinas/Falklands.

Why don’t you people just grow up and move on? Pathetic.
@@spidos1000 having read (I assume) that I don't wish to start a debate in the comments, why do you instigate? Why do you feel the need of insulting? I just need to clarify the information given in the video, because It's not right. For Argentina, the Malvinas/Falklands issue is a major historical injustice. And, moreover, It's unresolved. Every single supranational organism said "Argentina and the UK MUST talk in order to get a solution". This has not happened, due to the fact that the UK doesn't have the will to talk. For the last time, I don't have the right to say who is correct and who isn't, my possition on the issue is super biased. And, for that, I don't wish to start any debate.
I'd just like to say, also for the sake of adding information:
The British were the first to discover the uninhabited islands, and the second to set up a settlement after the French. The French handed their settlement over to Spain, and eventually both Britain and Spain had to leave the islands, but Britain left behind a plaque with their claim on the islands. So that's all the basis for our claim on the islands.
And about Vernet's settlement: It was originally set up as a business venture to fish and farm on the Falklands, it had the permission of both the Argentinians and the British, Vernet even asked the British for protection if they decided to re-settle the islands. But later, the Argentinians appointed Vernet as the governor of the islands, thereby claiming possession of the islands, which actively went against Britain's existent claim on the islands. Then Vernet used his position to stop American ships from fishing in the area, capturing three ships, which caused the Americans to attack the settlement in retaliation and clear the islands of Argentinian control, until they returned later to set up a garrison. 80% of that garrison's soldiers were British mercenaries. When Britain decided to take control of the islands again (which, to them, was their right, as they had the oldest existing claim to the islands. And because the settlement had been going against both the British and the Americans), the British garrison refused to fight the British soldiers, which resulted in a surrender, and a bloodless capture of the islands. It's also worth mentioning that the remaining Argentinian settlers weren't expelled, only the soldiers, in fact the settlers were encouraged to stay, even paid to.
Also about the "implanted population" of the islands. It's worth keeping in mind that the islands were uninhabited when they were discovered, they had no natives, and the British were the second nation to make a settlement there in recorded history. Unlike Australia which was settled around the same time, the Falklands had no natives, so it's hard to say that the Falklands had an "implanted population". Plus, implanting a population is the same thing that the Argentinians were trying to accomplish when they built settlements.
Of course I'm biased too, but I just wanted to add the other side of the story, as it were
Thanks for the schooling dude!

@@vininassau4656 - Did someone mention the island of Reggaeton Puerto Rico. Even in Spain they are singing and dancing to Reggaeton. See for yourself - ruclips.net/video/K_4aTJXuRws/видео.html - Ha Ha.
But it is the only Portuguese speaking country in South America! Holy #InriCristo would be pissed, too!
Why there's not a single video in english about Malvinas/Falklands dispute that mention Luis Vernet, the governor sent by Argentina in 1824 to take position of the islands when were unclaimed and without population. Every country has a different version of the facts
Big loves from Turkey to all S.American countries!

When are you leaving Cyprus?
@@peterfireflylund What about never? We gave martyrs & shed blood for saving the pressed Turks in there. Don't look at the topic just from 1 side, read Turkish archives too...
You missed Ecuador and Peru, that fought a series of wars over disputed territory.
You forgot to mention that before 1833 there was an Argentinean settlement and there was an argentinean governor for the island too, and the British came and invaded them throwing out the people that lived in there
Vernet had a trading licence from London and the only people expelled were the military installed by the United Provinces (proto Argentina) and the civillians remained, all but three whom didn't go back to UP. The Argentine state also signed away the rights to the Spanish claim in a treaty with GB in 1850.
