It is very clear that Falkland Islands are Argentinian. Studying a little of history and geography, is enough to realize of that. Of course, in the world some countries believe that have good reasons to steal territories (England) but really only have the military power to impose their interests.
All the world know this true, including the england people.

“All the world”- know nothing of the sort.And it is not very clear that the Falklands are Argentinean, because they most definitely are not.
Only silly Argentines wrongly believe that the Falklands are theirs.
Anyway, you got one thing right, johnny boy. The lslands correct name, which is the Falklands. Gracias
