Re: Unpopular opinion, should Argentines be a Revolutionary or European civilization?
You need a history lesson. There is no "giving back". Islands were never Argentine except for short period of time during 1816-1833 when islands were left uninhabited by Europeans but they never gave up territorial claims. Referendum also overwhelmingly proved that islanders wanted to stay under British rule. Just because a chunk of land is close to you, it doesn't automatically grant you sovereignty over it.
Fine line to something great is a strange change.

I know my history thank you very much. I suggest you keep your arrogance in check.princeofcarthage wrote:You need a history lesson. There is no "giving back".

Those "islanders" are british colonists so of course they want to remain under British rule...
That does not mean the land belongs to them.
This is a highly controversial topic so I suggest that we stop talking about it and focus on the topic of this thread.
I hope you have a nice day

Re: Unpopular opinion, should Argentines be a Revolutionary or European civilization?
Why would it belong to you, being close to something doesn't mean it's yours. And 'highly controversial' means it's controversial with the one country that deems it's theirs, whilst the vast majority of the modern world belives in self determination.Jotunir wrote:I know my history thank you very much.

Re: Unpopular opinion, should Argentines be a Revolutionary or European civilization?
@Jotunir don't you think the people there should have the say what rule they wish? Or do you just want to annex these people?

How am I arrogant?

Yeah well, that island was uninhabited before those islanders settled, it is not like the killed the native populace or drove the argentine's (by the way which didn't even exist back then) away from the island and claimed it for themselves.
That does not mean the land belongs to them.
It technically does.

There is nothing controversial about this. Buenos Aires tried to steal/claim the lands when French, British and Spanish left in 1816 but failed to occupy/annex it and ultimately British took it back in 1833 (which was theirs anyhow) Barring these ~15-20 years and few months during the war, neither Argentina nor its predecessors held the land at any point. There is no claim here.
I hope you have a nice day

- be @EliteRifleman
- open a thread asking whether Ottomans should be Asian
- thread fills with propaganda and hate speech
- open new thread to distract from the original one
- take a random topic like Argentina
- people start talking about falkland war and post propaganda

We may have different points of view, but that does not imply that I do not know history.

Re: Unpopular opinion, should Argentines be a Revolutionary or European civilization?
The education system in Argentina is a failure if this is what you believe. When Europeans came to the Falklands it was an uninhabited Island. It was first claimed by the French in 1766 but was then transferred over to the UK in 1771 from Spain. The UK has had the Falklands ever since. Now tell me, what claim does Argentina have to the Falkland Islands? The people are all British and they do not want to join Argentina. Argentina has 0 right to the Falklands. No amount of screeching is going to change that. Is there a problem with settlers colonising a completely empty and uninhabited island?Jotunir wrote:Please stop talking about the war, it will only stir up controversy. You have to take into account that Argentina at the time was ruled by a military government. Our de facto military leaders at the time intended the war to be a distraction to stay in power for a longer period and thought wrongly that England was not going to retaliate, because they had misplaced confidence in their alliance with the USA (Their secret masters who betrayed them, I advice you to read about "Operation Condor").princeofcarthage wrote:UK actually agreed to a discussion about Falkland islands when decolonization was the trend before the war.

So my advice? Be very careful about throwing stones.
My point is that if they do not want to give us back the Islands now that we have been free from any kind of military dictatorship for quite some time and at peace with them, It just shows their true colours. They use them to extract resources from our homeland, that is the real reason why they wonât give them back any time soon.

Sovereignty of the islands was transferred to Argentina from Spain upon independence in 1816, a principle known as uti possidetis juris.InsectPoison wrote:The education system in Argentina is a failure if this is what you believe.

The establishment of British de facto rule on the Falklands in 1833 was illegal under international law, and this has been noted and protested by Argentina on 17 June 1833 and repeated in 1841, 1849, 1884, 1888, 1908, 1927, 1933, 1946, and yearly thereafter in the UN.
The principle of self-determination is not applicable since the current inhabitants are not aboriginal and were brought to replace the Argentine population.
The principle of self-determination does not apply to this sovereignty question because, the current inhabitants are a "transplanted population", of British character and nationality, not a distinct "people" as required by external self-determination doctrine.
That self-determination is further rendered inapplicable due to the disruption of the territorial integrity of Argentina that began with a forceful removal of its authorities in the islands in 1833, thus there is a failure to comply with an explicit requirement of UN Resolution 1514.
The UN ratified this inapplicability of self-determination when the Assembly rejected proposals to condition sovereignty on the wishes of the islanders.
Also, Great Britain was looking to extend its territories in the Americas as shown with the British invasions of the RĂo de la Plata years earlier which failed.

Re: Unpopular opinion, should Argentines be a Revolutionary or European civilization?
Well done, your own infographic proves my point. Argentina held the islands for a short period of time between 1815-1830 and even that occupation was illegal as it was still claimed by the UK as per the handover from Spain in 1771. Rightfully we got what was ours back. You are complaining that your backwards country didn't annex a territory that didn't even belong to it.

"Replace" Mate when British came Argentina didn't exist. There was no populace on the land.

Except the people are not transplanted. They settled.

United nation didn't exist back then. Buenos Aires tried to snatch the lands. British simply took what was theirs back.

UN resolution 1514 does not refer to the year 1514.

Re: Unpopular opinion, should Argentines be a Revolutionary or European civilization?
Obviously I am aware of that, my point is UN resolutions for 200 years old dispute should not be relevant. *I don't know the resolution 1514 so don't know if it allows for previous resolutions.

Re: Unpopular opinion, should Argentines be a Revolutionary or European civilization?
This may be a bit controversial but I think we should just accept the way borders are right now and stop all discussion unless its democratic referenda. The wars over borders will not bring any good to this world. Even if the situation is a bit messy (not the case with Falkland islands though, but for example with Gibraltar), it'd be nice if we just accepted things for what they are and move on.
