Islands malvinas belong to inglaterra??

Question

It seems to me to my but we are stealing a property that us does not belong...

That think?

Answer 1

Firstly, I wouldn't get too worked up about it. There was, indeed, a war fought over these islands, and a shameful, embarrassing episode it was. As usual a bunch of young people, mostly men, got killed and maimed over a nonsensical piece of wilderness in the middle of the South Atlantic.

Just before the Argentine invasion there had been a coup planned by junior officers of the armed forces, fed up with the excesses of the old guys 'Junta'. The British were imminently about to hand over the control of postal services to Buenos Aires, which might not sound like anything much, but it was actually indicative of the intention to eventually hand over sovreignty to Argentina.

So the invasion was launched not to re-acquire lost territory, which was a b*llshit xlaim anyway, Argentina had never had any territorial claim on these islands, theirs was based on a much earlier claim of Spains, which had lasted a few years in the 19th century. The first colonists had been French, who had given them up as being too cold, too wet, and too smelly. It was launched to pre-empt the coup.

Everything that followed was a Maggie Thatcher does the 'War Leader', not dissimilar to the cr*p performances by Bush and Blair over recent years, and young people die.

Who owns the islands ?

Good point, when did 'God' write all these title deeds to land ?

It's odd, but the older I get the more sense Karl marx makes to me, and the more rich people I encounter the simple truth is clearer and clearer :

Property is theft.

I.E. If we could just wean ourselves off the fixation with owning stuff then we wouldn't have any thieves anymore.

There's plenty of land in the world for 60 billion people, let alone 6. What's all the fuss about ?

Answer 2

The answer is simple just ask the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands (or Malvinas) which country they want to be associated with.

I think there was a referendum on this a while ago and they chose the UK.

No one has asked though if they want Independence.

Answer 3

Until it was discovered by Lord Falkland, the Argentinians and their Spanish rulers did not even know of it's existence.
Further clue is that it is well outside Argentinian territorial waters.
Before the war the islanders had a free vote, on being independent or throwing their lot in with Argentina. They lobied parliament with the slogan "We are British."

Answer 4

Falkland islands were UK property since XIX century. They just got and abandoned place and colonize it.

Talk about it is the same to talk about Europeans (now its descendants) invading americas or discuss actual european borders or discuss about actual south asia borders.

There are rights and 2 battles to prove its property.

Answer 5

er, we stole nothing. Its a British Colony. if you wanted it so badly then prehaps you should have fought better and not surrendered.

Las Malvinas... its the Falkland Islands, and enjoys the rights privelidges and protection of her brittanic Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2nd, and her armed forces.

Answer 6

I see that you are back stirring the Falklands thing, they are British will stay British and that is an end to it. the locals do not wish to be part of Argentina so stop coming back with this subject.
