definetely are Argentine's and let me correct you, they are and must be called not only in Argentina but also all over the wolrd :ISLAS MALVINAS!
Argentine people and british have different concepts of sovereignty. Argentina is completely clear saying and proving that it is the legal owner of the Malvinas territory. Britain says that as they invaded them once and stayed some years administrating them, they are the owners.
The british government should know that argentina also governed the islands for many years ( so are owners) but the british invasion interrupted this administration.
so i arrive to the conclusion that, from britain's point of view, Malvinas are their property because they stole them form Argentina! Next to this i write the Malvinas March:
Tras su manto de neblinas,
no las hemos de olvidar.
"¡Las Malvinas, Argentinas!",
clama el viento y ruge el mar.
Ni de aquellos horizontes
nuestra enseña han de arrancar,
pues su blanco está en los montes
y en su azul se tiñe el mar.
¡Por ausente, por vencido
bajo extraño pabellón,
ningún suelo más querido;
de la patria en la extensión!
¿Quién nos habla aquà de olvido,
de renuncia, de perdón? ...
¡Ningún suelo más querido,
de la patria en la extensión.
¡Rompa el manto de neblinas,
como un sol, nuestro ideal :
"Las Malvinas, Argentinas
en dominio ya inmortal"!
Y ante el sol de nuestro emblema,
pura, nÃtida y triunfal,
brille ¡oh Patria!, en tu diadema
la perdida perla austral.
Coro
¡Para honor de nuestro emblema
para orgullo nacional,
brille ¡oh Patria!, en tu diadema
la pérdida perla austral.
un abrazo amigo y compatriota argentino!
LAS MALVINAS SON Y SERÃN SIEMPRE ARGENTINAS Y nunca de los piratas ingleses! |

Did you know that Argentina belongs to the native Americans?
Argentinans = territory thieves. |

Really!! Then why are all of those British flags flown everywhere on the islands? |

NO! Falklands are British.
Why is it there are so many people in this world that like to use history to justify the claim to a territory?
Shouldn't Argentina belong to the Indians? |

Who says?
They are not in the territorial waters of Argentina. Nowhere near!
Land belongs to whoever occupies and controls it, and that's Britain. Argentina has NO claim to them. (I note you didn't even use their term, the Malvinas ...) NO claim whatsoever! |

If it was, you'd own it right now. BTW, after you silly invasion a few years back I think you should have learned your lessons. |

To be honest, it never really belonged to the Spanish/Italian colonial pirates who hijacked it the first place.
Two colonial powers went to war and we spanked their little bottoms.
Simple. As. That. |

sorry mate but the rest of the world agrees with the UK on this one, Brits live there, Argentines dont, its not even that close to Argentina. Your claim is based on what exactly? some Argies landed there a few hundred years ago, so what? on that logic Argentina should be run by Native Americans. You tried to take the islands back by force, failed miserably when in reality you should have won given all the advantages you held, so now you will never ever get them back. tough luck find something else to cry about |

The Argentinians weren't interested in the barren, windswept islands until Britain made a claim upon it. From that point it was a matter geopolitics.
Personally I don't think England needs the Falkland Isles, but after stupidly allowing a few generations of families to thrive there, they have to defend them as British citizens. |

Somebody made this comment in 1982 and look where that got the argies. To my knowledge they are still British. |

Irrespective of where they are, they are under British rule...same as various islands in the INdian OCean under US rule.
Someone a while ago thought the same as you and we kicked their butt too. |

The British first landed on the Falklands in 1690, when Captain John Strong sailed through Falkland Sound, naming this passage of water after Anthony Cary, 5th Viscount Falkland, the First Lord of the Admiralty at that time. The British were keen to settle the islands, as they had the potential to be a strategic naval base for passage around Cape Horn. In 1765, Captain John Byron landed on Saunders Island. He then explored other islands' coasts and claimed the group for Britain.
Argentina's claim for sovereignty dates to 1816 when Argentina declared independence from Spain. Spain had a colony on the Falklands at that time with the permission of the British Government.
I leave you to make up your own mind now that you have the correct historical information. |

Argentina has NEVER owned the Falklands. We took them from Spain. |

I think you'll find they belong to england. Argentina thought they could take them, but got put in their place when they tried!
March 1982 - After combat resulting in 258 British and 649 Argentine deaths, the British eventually prevailed and the islands remained under British control. |

Argentina did not exist as a country at the time the British settled the Falklands.
The population is almost all of British descent and the islands were uninhabited when the British claimed them.
If you think that being 300 miles away from Argentina is a valid reason for claiming the islands, how come Argentina does not lay claim to Chile, Paraguay or Uruguay. They are a damn sight closer!!! |

just because you say so does not make it so. |

Oh go away. Since when did being close to somewhere mean you own it?
Argentina's claim is dubious in the extreme as a cursory glance over history books would show you... if you bothered to read one instead of coming on here saying you don't like something because it's 'wrong.' |

Mmm, "occupation of Falklands". Interesting concept, since Argentina only decided it was a serious issue when its Junta needed something to deflect attention away from the fact that they couldn't run their country!
Anyway, if it's that big a deal, why don't they take it back? Oh, wait, they tried that in the 80s and got their arses kicked! |

to put things in perspective,there is a little fish and chip shop not to far from me that is run by an argy and as far as i know,like the Falklands,he dosent own that either,my point being,i was there in 82,when spankings were being issued to your special forces(not to sure what was so special as they cried the same as the rest) and the end result was us waving you goodbye,no change there then |

Oh that's right, just you and a few of your childish student friends who can't get jobs...
You're not doing your country or compatriots who fought for the Falklands in 1982 any service by wasting our time on YA with drivel like this...
If you truly believe this, why not go into Politics? |
