In a 2013 referendum, like 99% of the residents in the Falklands voted to be under British rule, with only 3 voting to be under Argentine rule. If the people want it that way, leave it that way. They're happy with the British, so let the British rule them.
@@jcasma Brits didn't discover it, Spain did a 100 years before, and even before the british made it theirs, there were people before them, theres a list of people born in the island, before the british stole them in 1833. Before that year, it was Argentina's.
At the time Britiain was considered finished and no one abroad thought we'd do anything. Argentina imagined they could keep the islands forever as Britain was considered weak, but they were proved wrong.

Winston Churchill’s strategic and brilliant intelligence in leading lead Britain to victory, without him Britain and the rest of the world might be speaking German you twat!
lol her "friend" President Reagan? The same President Reagan that discussed supporting Argentina win the Falklands War? Your words are cute - but the United States is no friend of Great Britain.
Tony England do you not know the history of that war.The Only reason the US first started supporting Argentina was because they are in the part of the world where the United States needs to control that area. Secondly after the conflict was escalating the United States supported Britain because even they knew that what Argentina did was not good at all and also if the US continued supporting Argentina there would not have been any British ships on this side of the world because everyone knew who the real world power was at that time.
The USA, through Haig, wanted to give the impression they were supporting Britain while doing the exact reverse and camouflaging support for Argentina with the end result of the Falkland Islands being under Argentinian authority. Right down to the CIA giving Argentina details of where we were landing on the islands.
From Argentina I respect the United Kingdom, it hurts me as a single war already wasted the great respect and friendship that had been formed decades ago because thanks to the British, the Germans, the French, the Spanish and the Italians we were able to create our infrastructure. This is the fault of the dictatorship and Peronism that have only worsened our relations with other countries and also our country, socially and economically, greetings and strength to overcome the Covid
when you have Argentines bitching about Britain. I'm sorry you only lasted a month in a war with Britain who may I remind you had no help from NATO even though they offered it. The Falklands are British and are recognised by the UN as being British. Britain have the 4th most powerful military on the planet and the best trained troops on the planet. We don't even need to talk about nuclear weapons because we can destroy Argentinas armed forces with just our conventional forces. By 2020 the UK will have 2 Supercarriers in service able to project British power anywhere on the globe. Argentina have no hope of seizing the Falklands permanently because us British are too powerful for them.
pablo tacain resort to calling someone a Nazis because you can't back your statements up with facts. a better word to call me was an imperialist. it's not a matter of where the islands lie it's a matter of who lives on them. the citizens of the Falklands are British not Argentine and they have had a referendum under United Nations rules declaring their wish to remain a British overseas territory. with the election of Donald Trump relations with Russia will more than likely improve and currently British relations with China are very good. if only Argentina was still a colony. we've beat your Spanish masters countless times and we've beaten you with ease. Britain is a country is a country with a history of resilience and strength. Argentina is a country with a history of being beaten by Britain and a country that cries to the international community who quite frankly don't care because they'd rather have good relations with Britain than help you. Finally if South America was to be left in anyone's hands it would be Brazils but again Britain has no intention of leaving the Falklands so deal with it.
Hahaha what a load of codswallop! So you'd rather the British population of the Falkla- Wait I got an idea you want South Americans to control the Falklands, Lets make the islands go independent! Then the South Americans will control them! See how I can change the tide of your argument... Plus what does Argentina want it for other than the oil and uranium? Sounds like Imperialism if you look at it...
pablo tacain Britain don't want it for oil. The only reason we keep and defend the Falklands is because they chose in a referendum to remain an overseas territory of the UK. The moment they reject British rule is the moment Britain gives them up. I'm sorry if Argentine rule is so unattractive to them compared to British rule. The majority of nations side with the UK in this dispute so instead of being bitter about the fact Britain control the Falklands and we kicked your ass during the Falklands war, grow up and deal with it instead of singing the praises of a 4th rate power in Latin America thinking it comes close to the UK. News flash the UK is better. The Falkland Islanders know it and so does the rest of the world.
It's been said that at the Falklands victory parade Thatcher forgot to invite the Royal family. I heard at the time that actually she did invite them, but they declined.
The sad thing is, that a brutal Argentinian military junta started this conflict to stay in power. A junta which has murdered many more Argentinian civilians than military personel was lost in combat with the UK. Why most Argentinians saw the military aggression as some sort of patriotic enterprise is a riddle. Not only was it started by a brutal and illegitimate government, but Argentina's claim to the Falklands is no more reasonable than their claim to say, the Maldives would be. It is true, that the Falklands being British is the result of colonialism. Yet this is utterly meaningless, as Argentina is also the result of colonialism. And so is each and every other country in South and North America.
im Argentine and i agree with you until the last paragraph, guessing by your knowledge i guess you know that before the British invaded the islands in 1833, there was Argentine settlements in the islands, it doesnt have anything to do with what you said but just telling you to let you know (to a 1 year old comment heh), the war was pointless and it was an strategy of the Junta to try and see if they could stay in the government, it of course utterly failed and we lost the war, although im proud of the actions of our young men at the war, im disgusted by the war itself since it was like cavemen vs aliens or something like that

So many arguments going on about sovereignty of the Falklands. The fact remains the Argentinians never set foot on the islands prior to 1982 but still believed it had a right to own them due to how close they were. If that were the case the world map would change massively.

Avatar Ang Winston Churchill wanted to accompany British soldiers on the HMS Belfast on the D-day invasion to boost morale amongst the soldiers to make them feel as if the nation is with them but no one would allow it, not the king,not a single mp,generals and commanders etc didn’t even allow it and the reason behind that is because Winston Churchill was a leader not a fighter (he used to be a soldier but his fighting days were over as he was old) Winston Churchill was one of the main reasons we won WW2! Winston Churchill’s strategic and brilliant intelligence in leading lead Britain to victory, without him Britain and the rest of the world might be speaking German you twat!

May God Bless the Iron Lady. She was a great friend to the USA and her friend, President Reagan.
Yeah that's true, but the islands do belong to Argentina.
SaltyBastionMain No they fucking don’t, they are GBs.
lol her "friend" President Reagan? The same President Reagan that discussed supporting Argentina win the Falklands War? Your words are cute - but the United States is no friend of Great Britain.
Tony England do you not know the history of that war.The Only reason the US first started supporting Argentina was because they are in the part of the world where the United States needs to control that area. Secondly after the conflict was escalating the United States supported Britain because even they knew that what Argentina did was not good at all and also if the US continued supporting Argentina there would not have been any British ships on this side of the world because everyone knew who the real world power was at that time.
The USA, through Haig, wanted to give the impression they were supporting Britain while doing the exact reverse and camouflaging support for Argentina with the end result of the Falkland Islands being under Argentinian authority. Right down to the CIA giving Argentina details of where we were landing on the islands.
When I was young I was taught that Thatcher was an evil woman but since I have been red pilled I now know she was an absolute boss!
@RED RED Yup defo a cringe leftie
As a brazilian i can afirm: our neighbours still pissed off to this day.
Greatest female politician in modern western civilization！God Bless Margaret Thatcher！

God won't bless a war Lord. Argentinians respected the 6th commandment : the most important of all the ten ones.
@Alex Abbott facts spoken
From Argentina I respect the United Kingdom, it hurts me as a single war already wasted the great respect and friendship that had been formed decades ago because thanks to the British, the Germans, the French, the Spanish and the Italians we were able to create our infrastructure.
This is the fault of the dictatorship and Peronism that have only worsened our relations with other countries and also our country, socially and economically, greetings and strength to overcome the Covid
weren't the military agaisnt perons? so much so that they kept running around with Evita's body to not make it a rally point?
when you have Argentines bitching about Britain. I'm sorry you only lasted a month in a war with Britain who may I remind you had no help from NATO even though they offered it. The Falklands are British and are recognised by the UN as being British. Britain have the 4th most powerful military on the planet and the best trained troops on the planet. We don't even need to talk about nuclear weapons because we can destroy Argentinas armed forces with just our conventional forces. By 2020 the UK will have 2 Supercarriers in service able to project British power anywhere on the globe. Argentina have no hope of seizing the Falklands permanently because us British are too powerful for them.
A company of Gurkhas will do the job
What are the other 2 platoons going to do?
pablo tacain resort to calling someone a Nazis because you can't back your statements up with facts. a better word to call me was an imperialist. it's not a matter of where the islands lie it's a matter of who lives on them. the citizens of the Falklands are British not Argentine and they have had a referendum under United Nations rules declaring their wish to remain a British overseas territory. with the election of Donald Trump relations with Russia will more than likely improve and currently British relations with China are very good. if only Argentina was still a colony. we've beat your Spanish masters countless times and we've beaten you with ease. Britain is a country is a country with a history of resilience and strength. Argentina is a country with a history of being beaten by Britain and a country that cries to the international community who quite frankly don't care because they'd rather have good relations with Britain than help you. Finally if South America was to be left in anyone's hands it would be Brazils but again Britain has no intention of leaving the Falklands so deal with it.
Hahaha what a load of codswallop! So you'd rather the British population of the Falkla- Wait I got an idea you want South Americans to control the Falklands, Lets make the islands go independent! Then the South Americans will control them! See how I can change the tide of your argument... Plus what does Argentina want it for other than the oil and uranium? Sounds like Imperialism if you look at it...
pablo tacain Britain don't want it for oil. The only reason we keep and defend the Falklands is because they chose in a referendum to remain an overseas territory of the UK. The moment they reject British rule is the moment Britain gives them up. I'm sorry if Argentine rule is so unattractive to them compared to British rule. The majority of nations side with the UK in this dispute so instead of being bitter about the fact Britain control the Falklands and we kicked your ass during the Falklands war, grow up and deal with it instead of singing the praises of a 4th rate power in Latin America thinking it comes close to the UK. News flash the UK is better. The Falkland Islanders know it and so does the rest of the world.

The sad thing is, that a brutal Argentinian military junta started this conflict to stay in power. A junta which has murdered many more Argentinian civilians than military personel was lost in combat with the UK.
Why most Argentinians saw the military aggression as some sort of patriotic enterprise is a riddle. Not only was it started by a brutal and illegitimate government, but Argentina's claim to the Falklands is no more reasonable than their claim to say, the Maldives would be.
It is true, that the Falklands being British is the result of colonialism. Yet this is utterly meaningless, as Argentina is also the result of colonialism. And so is each and every other country in South and North America.
Your summary comment is the third world against a colonial and ancient power
im Argentine and i agree with you until the last paragraph, guessing by your knowledge i guess you know that before the British invaded the islands in 1833, there was Argentine settlements in the islands, it doesnt have anything to do with what you said but just telling you to let you know (to a 1 year old comment heh), the war was pointless and it was an strategy of the Junta to try and see if they could stay in the government, it of course utterly failed and we lost the war, although im proud of the actions of our young men at the war, im disgusted by the war itself since it was like cavemen vs aliens or something like that

1690 was the year the British colony was found
1833 was the year uk took back their rightful territory
1982 was the year when the uk secured it
the USA expelled the Argentines from the Island in around 1830 when the Argentines stupidly seized 3 American sealing ships - the captain of the US Warship Lexington declared the islands up for grabs after he destroyed their little colony and dropped them off back where they came from

@Vee But aren't we all striving now to make coal be a thing of the past by transitioning to green energies? In a way or the other, the dismantling of the coal industry is something that would have happened anyway.

@Vee the mining industry was dying and aren't we trying to make coal a thing of history? also just remember those prisoners thought smearing their excrement on walls was an decent thing to do.
@@greatbritain819 It isn't about why she did it, it's about the way she went about doing it. She caused loads of pain and suffering to the miners in the north by not providing alternative sources of income. If you want to shut down an industry, you don't starve the workers into quitting, you make them a better deal with other industries and let the previous industry naturally decrease in size.
So many arguments going on about sovereignty of the Falklands. The fact remains the Argentinians never set foot on the islands prior to 1982 but still believed it had a right to own them due to how close they were. If that were the case the world map would change massively.
