How British Are THE FALKLAND ISLANDS? 

"white people can't have culture" - SJW

So the french who first established are the indigenous? edit: I no longer give a fuck so don't respond.

The French settlement at it's peak had 75 people and civilian and even if it didn't have them, the French soldiers would count, the Montevideo convention says that the population must be permanent not civilian edit: I no longer give a fuck so don't respond.

@@joaquinaugusto625 The french settlement was a whaling outpost that was only manned half the year. In the winter they went to Guyana

its owned by whoever can take them. if the french want them (or Argentina) feel free to try.

Where in the UK? It's more of an English accent. Welsh and Scottish accents are also British, but this one is clearly English. Great Britain together with Northern Ireland forms the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, abbreviated to the UK, to which you can add Irish to the aforementioned accents. Hope this helps.

@@pussypostlethwaitsaeronaut8503 Thanks for the education lol. English is also British. Hope this helps! (You can’t say it’s not British because it’s English - think about how little sense this makes!). I’m English, but I’m ALSO British!

whats a british accent??? no such thing.

@@2595220 yes, there is actually. I think you are saying because the accent varies throughout the Britain. All of those variants are still British accents.

There is a distinct Kelper accent. But many islanders come to the U.K. for secondary school education. They once went to Argentina but their illegal 1982 occupation put paid to that.

@@oscarbosio9881 Tal vez hacen las cosas de manera diferente en Argentina, pero en los territorios británicos, incluidas las Falklands, tenemos boletas secretas. Y en el caso del referéndum de las Falklands, fue supervisado por observadores de varios países diferentes que certificaron que la votación fue justa. No todos los argentinos son guerreros imperialistas, algunos de ellos claramente prefieren el estilo de vida libre y civilizado de las Falklands.

@@greedycapitalist8590 Mira yo no discto que hayan decidido permanecer en Malvinas.es lógico el 99% son britanicos o descendientes de británicos. Lo que digo es que dicho referéndum es ilegal ya que no se acepta en un territorio que las Naciones Unidas consideran colonia y en disputa.aparte de tener la gran mayoría ciudadanía británica.ni en este ni en otros casos. Es sentido común. Apsrte busca el padrón y decime cuantos argentinos votaron y que hacen en Malvinas. Por mad que insistan esa consulta popular solamente existe para Gran Bretaña.no para el resto del mundo. Para terminar fijate de que paisrs eran los observadores internacionales.no hay que ser muy inteligentes para saberlo.Para terminar hace años que vivimos en democracia el voto es secreto y universal y no mantenemos una monarquía.

@@greedycapitalist8590 Te contesto. Acá en Argentina vivimos en democracia desde hace décadas, el voto es secreto y universal.En el caso del referendun vos sabes bien que no es ilegal, ya que la Organización de Naciones Unidas considera a las islas un territorio en disputa, por eso y otros motivos no reconoció ese referendun, No corresponde el derecho a la libre determinación ya que la población de la isla fue trasplantada en su totalidad por el Reino Unida tras su ocupación por la fuerza en 1833.siendo controlados los movimientos migratorios, cuya demografía crece por las necesidades económicas y administrativas del gobierno colonial. A su ves los isleños no son un pueblo preexistente, son súbitos del Reino Unido y muchos ciudadanos de la metrópolis. Decis que fue supervisado por observadores, si es verdad, de paises a los que se les convenció para que asistan tras la visita del primer ministro británico y fueron muy pocos , los de siempre, mas algunos que se agregaron, como uno se puede imaginar.La consulta fue dirigida por Brad Smith de EEUU ( el principal aliado de G,B en la guerra de Malvinas) y solamente asistieron observadores de Canadá, Chile ( otro aliado de G,B. al que la reina le dio gracias por la ayuda prestada tras la detención de Pinochet en Londres) , Uruguay, Paraguay y Nueva Zelandia. Votaron solamente 13 argentinos que estan trabajando allá y lo hicieron por una necesidad económica, nada mas (ver declaraciones de varios de ellos en visitas a Argentina cuando se les preguntó al respeto) En cuanto a guerreros imperialistas, me parece que no te conviene meterte en este terreno, si hay un pais imperialista, colonialista, que ocupó gran parte del mundo y aún mantiene colonias, que hizo del tráfico de esclavos algo habitual, que sometió a sus conquistados es Gran Bretaña, y no Argentina, pero bueno se nota que tenes una visión muy parcial de la historia y no te juzgo. No te ceras que por esto tengo rencor alguno, pero hay cosas que no tolero y necesito aclararlas, no me interesa si las toman o no, pero las dejo a consideración de quien quiera. Para terminar Argentina es un pais libre y civilizado que ha hecho muchísimos aportes a la humanidad.

@@oscarbosio9881 El británico no ocupó las Falklands por la fuerza en 1833, esta es una de las muchas mentiras que a sus maestros se les paga por promover. Parte del crecimiento es aprender a no confiar en la autoridad. Pregúntese por qué su gobierno dedica tanto tiempo y dinero a tratar de convencer a la población de que las Falklands de alguna manera pertenecen a Argentina. Te están adoctrinando para la próxima guerra. No hay absolutamente ningún requisito en el derecho internacional para que los referéndums sean supervisados ​​por las Naciones Unidas; estoy seguro de que los referéndums en Argentina no son supervisados ​​por la ONU, y lo mismo es cierto en el Reino Unido. Llamar a los Falklanders una "población trasplantada" es una de las mentiras de propaganda estándar de su gobierno, y una mentira que es inherentemente racista. Dado que muchos Falklanders descienden de personas que han vivido allí desde principios del siglo XIX, no están más "trasplantados" que tú. Por otro lado, hay un país que quiere implantar una población en las Falklands, y es Argentina. Espera que se le permita a Argentina ejercer el derecho de autodeterminación expresado a través del proceso democrático, y sin embargo, se niega a reconocer el derecho de sus vecinos a hacer lo mismo, así como usted, ¿quién es el imperialista?

Jeff Morse that is false in fact. The islands were under argentine rule till 1833 when England kicked the argentine population by force (at that time there was a peace treaty between the two countries)

@@pabloorqueraisa8898 This is a lie. The Falklands were already owned by the British at that time. A foreign businessman based in the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata established a settlement in the Falklands with the permission of the British government. The UP government then illegally gave this businessman the title of governor, and he took to committing acts of piracy against American sealing ships, presumably to enforce his monopoly on that industry. The US Navy retaliated, and a small Royal Navy force restored law and order in 1833. They wanted to keep a viable settlement there, so they paid the South American workers to stay. The only people expelled were a UP military force that had illegally established themselves there - and that was mostly made up of British mercenaries. Argentina has no valid claim.

By indigenous he just means nonwhite.

Jeff Morse actually Argentinians are Europeans too.... they’re of European decent. You refer to the British as simply British and not the Europeans, because then it gets confusing

@@gody9516 Sea Argentina la heredera o no, los británicos llevan más de 200 años habitando esas islas, manejando sus recursos, designando autoridades, expandiendo su cultura, cuidando de su gente, intercambiando recursos, etc. Y el 99.8% de la gente en las Falklands se considera Británica, no importa la proximidad geográfica en la cual se encuentren las islas a la costa argentina, o si se suponía que las íbamos a heredar, la realidad es que la gente que vive allá es 110% británica, y la tierra es de ellos. Proponer la deportación de los residentes de la isla sería algo increíblemente extremista y en contra de derechos humanos básicos, es su tierra, así como más allá de ser parte de Argentina Rosario es mí tierra, y sería atentar contra mis derechos básicos deportarme de mi propia ciudad. Todo eso sin mencionar la sangre que se derramó en conflictos por las islas, en las cuales, recordemos, Gran Bretaña se levantó victorioso (lo cual debería dejar de lado cualquier discusión sobre soberanía, como país decidimos ir a guerra por las islas y perdimos, aceptamos esos términos y esas reglas y perdimos dentro de ellas, no tenemos más reclamos disponibles para hacer porque no nos vimos obligados a ir a la guerra, sino que como país lo decidimos). Decir que las Falklands son o deberían ser argentinas sería como decir que Taiwan debería ser parte de China por proximidad, sin tomar en cuenta el deseo local de independencia de la población de Taiwan, es una medida muy arbitraria (sólo que le tendrías que agregar el paso de que Taiwan en vez de querer independizarse querría anexarse a alguna fuerza externa, como por ejemplo ser parte de las Filipinas).

* Disclaimer por las dudas, más allá de que hayamos ido a la guerra bajo el gobierno militar de Galtieri, los militares tenían apoyo de ciertos sectores sociales y un porcentaje importante (si bien puede discutirse que no era mayoritario) de la masa del país, una dictadura sin apoyo popular no se mantiene. Ni hablar de que los militares eran exactamente igual de fascistas que Perón, sólo que en vez de enmascararlo como democracia y valerse de la propaganda y ciertos otros métodos de manipulación de masas (los cuales también estamos presenciando a día de hoy en una menor escala con políticos como Fernández y Kirchner) usaban métodos más directos y sin tantas vueltas, pero al fin y al cabo eran iguales, sólo que Perón se posicionaba considerablemente más a la izquierda al ojo público, lo cual en realidad tampoco era 100% verdadero si uno se lo pone a investigar.

Lee Taylor the British empire is the largest genocide in all history

@joe caterman it was a series of unfortunate events. It wasn't that the British sent mixed signals, it was that the British never really cared about the islands way before that. It is said that during WW2 Churchill said that if the argentines occupied the islands, islanders were on their own, because the UK wasn't going to go all the way down there to defend a few shepherds. The thing was that Thatcher's popularity was so low at the time that she needed that boost, she had been doing horribly and people started to hate her. And in Argentina it was sort of the same, people didn't really give a crap about the islands but the government tricked to do so through propaganda, because they too needed a popularity boost and thought the islands would be an easy and quick way of reassuring themselves. You could say the British ended argentine dictatorship, and argentines should be thankful for that.

@@VidelaArg how is that related that's an entire different story and no it was the Chinese under Mao Zdong. The British Empire did commit genocide and exploited natives, however the Brtish empire died a long time before the invasion of the falklands. Therefore are you just here to troll?

Actually it´s more complex than that. The UN doesn´t validate souverignty from that. In any colony. They are british because in 1833 the Brits invaded it and threw out the argentine settlers and governor. And the islands stayed british because they won the 1982 evitable war. If the UK and the US wouldn´t run the west with their bully-like colonisation policy the war wouldn´t have even existed, cause the UN recognized a conflict in 1965, asking the UK to solve it with Argentina.

UK parliament IS English Parliament and everyone else there is just along for the ride on the back benches.

I'm British and old enough that I grew up at the time the war happened and it's aftermath. Here in the UK the Falklands are still a pretty hot topic and when May spoke with your president, people were getting very worried she was going to give them up like she has pretty much done with Gibraltar the week before. When ever I have spoken to any British servicemen who served during the war, they all talk of the bravery of your soldiers and are disgusted how their officers left them to rot and die. I admit I have a very strong dislike towards the attitude of your previous governments at using the islands as a way to distract you when things are going really bad. I hope one day that all the family members who lost their loved ones in the war, can get them back on their home soil. I'm just glad that another attempt on the islands is not impossible, as the loss of life would be so pointless. Our countries are better off just moving on from the past (and the cheating in the 86 world cup) and let these people live their lives in peace.

She gets more credit than she deserves for the Falklands. Any Prime Minister would know it's political suicide to not retaliate.

It probably helped her in the 1983 election.

etoipiplus1237 Indeed it did. Thatcher was incredibly unpopular in the early 1980s. But it wasn’t Labour- it was another party, called the SDP-Liberals that were polling miles ahead of both parties. Some polls showed them being 25 points ahead of both the Tories and Labour. But after the Falklands, thatchers popularity skyrocketed and she won in 1983 with a massive majority.

Margaret Thatcher is a disgusting embarrassment of a leader. Falklands was the only good thing she did.

No querido. La dictadura fue producto de un complejo operativo de endeudamiento y destrucción, particularmente apadrinado por Gran Bretaña y USA. La guerrilla Latinoamerciana fue el detonante de falsa bandera para la instauración de dictaduras TÍTERES. A la Argentina la hicieron pisar el palito. La Guerra empezó meses antes cuando un contingente británico tomó las Islas Georgias poco antes de la guerra. Las islas estaban bajo control efectivo de la Argentina desde los setentas. Reporteros de guerra de la BBC de Londres llegaron a Buenos Aires un mes antes del desembarco de abril del 82 en Malvinas. Evidentemente hay cosas que no se están contando en su totalidad. Sería bueno que los ingleses suelten el archivo de Estado sobre esa guerra que ya se debería haber liberado después de 30 años pero prorrogaron por algunas décadas más. ¿Porqué será?

@Elgus How strange...! May I ask why?

IN FACT, NOT EVERYTHING STARTED LIKE THIS: THE MALVINAS ISLANDS WERE DISCOVERED BY THE BRITISH AND THEY ESTABLISHED A COLONY THERE (according to you) BUT THEY DIDN'T STAY THERE FOR A LONG TIME ONLY A FEW YEARS (YOU WANTED OTHER COUNTRIES DISCOVERED IT, IT IS NOT KNOWN) THEN THE INDEPENDENT CAME WITH SPAIN ... FROM ARGENTINA THE ISLANDS WERE INHERITED TO ARGENTINA FOR A LONG TIME (many years) AFTER THE US WANTED TO FISH IN ITS WATERS ARG WAS NEGOTIATED AND THE ISLAND WAS PLOTTED THEN THE UNITED KINGDOM ARRIVED AND WE TOOK IT FROM 1833 AND IN 1982 WE WANTED TO GET WHAT WE WANTED IT BELONGS TO US BUT YOU WON US (something unfair) AND FROM THERE WE TRIED TO GET IT DIPLOMATICALLY WITH SOME GOOD RESULTS (like the UN recognition that they are ours)

The Grey Pilgrim actually it's disputed whether it was him or a Dutchman called Sebald De Weerdt who saw them first, but the first to actually LAND on the Falklands, officially record doing so and lay claim to them was John Strong in 1690

And on top of that, the Patagonian coast near the Falklands is only Argentine because the Argentines committed genocide against the indigenous people to get it.

Las Malvinas No son un país.

That's why the islands need to be shared. It would still take several weeks to sail to these islands, from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. You could get there in just a few hours, from the Republic of Argentina.

@@gradysvacationsandnaturewalks I don't see this as a valid reason. The locals who run those islands with high autonomy want no such sharing. And looking at the Argentinian economy, Argentina can't even manage herself properly - which was the reason why the junta chose the Falklands as a distraction from their awful repressive policies and stagflationary misery.

@@notroll1279 So you don't see sharing as valid? That's actually horrible. You have no problem with sharing Antarctica with 6 other nations, including the Republic of Argentina, and the neighboring Republic of Chile. Sharing is always valid. We all live on this Earth. We all need to learn to share this Earth. And the Republic of Argentina has managed itself quite properly, in many ways. The UKGBNI could be managing themselves better too, in many ways. Full disclosure: The islands need to be a shared territory, end of discussion.

@@gradysvacationsandnaturewalks The locals have spoken in more than one referendum - and since your opinion is not terribly relevant, I see no point in discussing this with you, either.

@@notroll1279 Locals schmocals. Ever heard of French Guiana? It's only culturally French. Just like these islands. Look, you don't have to like sharing, but people don't habe to like you, either. Again, the islands must be shared. I provided valid points, and never said the British points are invalid. End of discussion.

Damn right they do we won em too so they’re 100 percent ours

by force it is yours, but it does not belong to you, it was from the Kingdom of Spain and with the independence of Argentina it was from Argentina, literally the islands are next to it. If we talk about being countries, first that you belonged to Spain and then to Argentina with its independence, it is known that when you first arrived there were already people living there, but they hide that truth

@@ernestopadamendi everyone who who lives there wants to be British, that’s why it’s British. They has a referendum less than 10 years ago

Malvinas se dice invecil

Agreed, if Argentina try to lay claim and take the Falklands again then we’ll kick them harder then in the 80s its so interesting to see a population that seems more patriotic then actual England

They are all cleared now. Hopefully
