Argentinas obsession with the falklands?

[britishboy]

why do the Argentine people want the Falklands so bad??? they're only a tiny country and they voted 99% in favor of staying British. why don't they leave them alone?

[Left Now]

Because the Argentinian government believes in Military uses of UK in that area...However i disagree with them...Still most of people want to stay with british so they cannot have those lands...

[britishboy]

exactly have you herd of the Falkland conflict they invaded them and then we went over there and kicked them off but a lot of the Falkland people are scared of another invasion.

Argentina wants the Falklands/Malvinas because they believe it's rightfully theirs and because of its resources. Argentina believes that the British residents of the Falklands/Malvinas are illegal occupants of an Argentine set of islands - an implanted group of people.

[Tristin.]

the argument is historic. Argentina argue that the Falkland Islands, or the Malvinas, are legally theirs due to what is classed as 'Inheritance' from the former Spanish empire. Under an inheritance ruling the islands would be Argentinian. However, history as always is not so simple. The British argue that we are the rightful owners of the islands due to an event (i think it is to do with spanish sailors and a british ship but i'm not sure) in history. This event is when the British colonised the island and were apparently the first people to settle there, as a result it is british. The argentinians argue that the spanish sailors aforementioned were the first settlers, and here enters the inheritance argument.

The Falklands will never be settled due to this historic maze of opposing arguments and rights of claim.

Just because the Argentines may not agree with you, doesn't mean they're stupid. Their opinion is different than yours, but that doesn't mean they're stupid.

I know lol I'm just really angry with this subject I believe in the right to vote.

[Tristin.]

yes, but as i explained, the Argentinians do not view that referendum as legal due to their belief that the people who took part in it have no right to be there in the first place!

I can view it on both sides I'm not five they want it because they think it's there's because when they can independence from the Spanish but that's old history this is the modern day they have right to vote and they did 99% in favor of being british thats it.
