Troneas- get it into your head- Britain attacked a Spanish territory then as Britain Spain and France were at war - you silly bugger plenty of Islands in the Carribbean changed hands several times a year between UK-France_Spain and Holland during those years! Argentina did not exist- Britain was having a go at Spain - get it?
Britain is NOT “stillcolonising” the Islands - we are now self-governing internally - but we know Arg would love to COLONISE us - Colonising is when a Country occupies and takes control of a land AGAINST the wishes of the people who naturally live there - and we live here and do not want you in charge of us.
Oh - dont quote 1833 as there were NO naturally living people here then.

To Troneas (#2) Little you know about Argentine history. The second British invasion was organized from South Africa (British colony in those years) requested by Argentine politicians, many of which nowadays we honored like patriotic. At the time of knowing in London the news of the invasion, months later, the military leaders and British authorities in South Africa were judged in the U.K..
Anyway, I have a question for you. What have to do the British invasions to Buenos Aires with the Falkland's issue?
