Those who, for example, live in the Falklands determined by a vote that they wanted to remain a British Protectorate. They do not want to be subjected to be Governed by Argentina. Similarly, the Gibralteese do not want to be governed by Spain who have continually asked for the Rock back. However, the Spanish in turn will not listen to the natives in the part of Morocco they Govern, and refuse to give in to the locals - who don't want Spain as their 'Governor.'
As I understand it, there are certain islands just off of the French coast which do not want to be a part of France. The island of Formosa (just off of the coast of China - where the none Communists fled to during the rise of the butcher, Mao Tse-tung ) do not want to be a part of China (which I think historically also once laid claim to Japan!).
Both Spain and Russia (to name but two of a number) once owned parcels of America (which they sold to the US), and should they decide the value was 'under-valued' (or they were 'tricked' into selling their parcels of land), what would happen if they tried to claim them back? And what would happen if the American 'Aborigines' wanted to claim all their lost lands back?
I'm not saying that there are claims (such as the Tibetans have towards China, for example) are not 'right,' I'm also just wondering where all these people would go who do not want to live under a new Government / Regime / Authority!
eg: If all those who claim to be 'Irish' went home (as a result of repatriation), Ireland would (metaphorically) 'sink.'

And beside geographical proximity, why would the Malvinas belong to the Argenentineans? Is Argentine going to cede Tierra del Fuego to Chile because they already own most of the place, and lands East of the Parana to Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil because the river is a natural border and it is not right they should own both sides?
So they fell into the English pocket by right of conquest... and Argentine proved unable to take them back in '82... Really a good case for them giving the islands back out of the goodness of their hearts.

I seem to remember us well and truly kicking Argentina's bottom for it a few years back, which sort of settled the argument.
Besides that, we dont have much else anymore. Mostly just commonwealth countries, like Canada, which are pretty much autonomous.

Too bad, The UK has them, and they remain british commonwealth until such time as the country decides to leave, not when some other country wants to take over, and start raping the countryside.

Please lets not have another war over a piece of land, who cares who it belongs to, it is just land.
