    I just found out on Wikipedia that they also claim South Georgia and the Sandwich Islands as well as a slice of Antarctica. Argentine tyranny and aggression knows no limits.

      They also claim Taiwan!

        The Argentine claim is pretty weak if I recall.

        More importantly, the population is British, has been British for 175 years, and wants to remain British.

        Argentina needs to get over it.

          The islanders didn't.

            The Argentinians have no serious claim to the islands beyond relative geographic proximity.

              The brits and norweigans also claim slices of antarctica (along with Chile, Australia, New Zealand and a couple others IIRC)

                Well, the British and Americans did kick Luis Vernet out of the islands.

                  This. Honestly, I fail to see how Argentinians running the islands would be better for the Falkland Islanders than the British.

                  It's like an international dick size contest. Hate to break it to the Argies, but Britain wins that contest by a couple miles.

                    Why not? Can you add new information that hasn't been presented here by others to support your claim?

                      You gotta feel bad for the Argentinians, though. At the dawn of the 20th century, people saw Argentina as a very strong contender to be a world power in the future. Massive European immigration, plenty of free land, it was supposed to be the US of Latin America. Then History happened...

                        No, what happened was that the argies made a load of bad decisions for themselves.

                          Your posts in this thread are idiotic. Nobody's posted any meaningful "evidence" at all, nor can they be expected to on such a silly topic.

                            I'd just like to see if, for once, HC can back up his claims. But as usual, he relies on you to save him.

                                That's not "evidence for a claim". That's "random wiki link".
