    Does Argentina belong to the Spanish? Why do you think Argentina should take them? Who lived in Argentina before the Spanish came? Who lived in the Falkland islands, nobody.

      It doesn’t matter who lived there first, because I’ll swear on the King’s life that the Brits weren’t first

      Also, “who lived in Argentina before the Spanish came?” Maybe the people living there tens of thousands of years before European colonialism hit their shores?

        Really? Who were they? Is there any evidence whatsoever to back this claim up?

            This doesn’t show the Falkland islands were populated?

          Are you saying there were no indigenous people in what is now Argentina when the colonists came? Just a simple search for “indigenous people of Argentina” delivers ample evidence that there were.

            We’re talking about the Falkland islands, Argentina wasn’t colonised by the British.

              The post you replied to explicitly says Argentina when mentioning the indigenous population, not the Falkland Islands. Btw there is proof that while the islands were not populated at the time the British came, they were used as camping and hunting grounds by indigenous people in the past.

        It does if the argument is about colonialism.

        No one lived there before Europeans arrived.
