Robbers, and now LIARS TOO. Great Britain had not, and never did acquire proper sovereignty to the islands, for the fact that they lost the battle with Spain over them who had always sustained first right to them, causing them to subsequently abandon their brief attempt at a settlement, yet returning opportunistically to take them by force from the Argentine who had just suffered an American attack to their settlement, both countries ever since ignoring Argentina's denunciation and claim to Britain and America's wrong doing and unlawful attacks.
Britain has forged its own narrative onto the world during all of the following years, quashing with silence any diplomatic discussions and imposing an unwarranted and disproportionate military base, establishing “prejudiced social migratory criteria” to the islands, plus flooding all forms of communications with their distorted account of the matter; yet that by no means this constitutes true and popper sovereignty based on natural merit.

“Robbers, and now LIARS TOO”. Argentina's illegal behaviour is all documented.
September 21st, a 'Treaty of Recognition, Peace and Friendship' is signed by Spain and the Argentine Republic in Madrid:
“Article 1: Your Catholic Majesty recognises the Republic or Confederation of Argentina as a free, supreme and independent nation that consists of all the provinces mentioned in its present federal Constitution, and other legitimate territories that belong or could belong in the future. According to the Spanish Parliament Act of December 4th 1836, the kingdom renounces any rights and actions on the territory of the Republic”
The same year Spain acknowledges British Sovereignty over the Falkland Islands
Spain gives up all claims to the Falkland Island, the only country that had a claim over the Falklands.

?... What? Where do you read Malvinas or Falkland Islands there. It says NOTHING specific. It's obviously deliberately ambiguous.
.
British and islander efforts all go towards “creating sovereignty”, if it didn't primarily seek that, it would confidently discuss Argentinian points without denying them, which in a sense means Britain incessantly to this day continues “taking the islands from Argentina.”

“Or agreement with any of ...nations regarding their claim”. Oh yes they did as you well
know you liar.
The Convention of Settlement, 1850. This is how legal scholars of the day and therefore nations viewed the effects of such a peace treaty to wit. “A treaty of peace leaves every thing in the state in which it finds it, unless there be some express stipulations to the contrary. The existing state of possession is maintained, except so far as altered by the terms of the treaty. If nothing be said about the conquered country or places, they remain with the possessor, and his title cannot afterward be called in question.”
Moreover, there are two prior Anglo-Spanish treaties that totally bar any and all Argentine claims, the Treaty of Utrecht, and Nootka Convention.

Poor Trimonde, once again identifying himself as a Peronist supporter of National Socialism. As I pointed out to my father years ago, World War II never really ended. That's why we still have to keep fighting Nazis and their symps...

Pwat ....

Spain recognised British sovereignty over the western islands in 1771, and claimed just one island in 1811 – Soledad. In 1863, Spain recognised British sovereignty over the whole archipelago. Argentina is not Spain. Inheritance is a myth, and Argentina was never in the game.
