My understanding is that no one even wanted the islands until they found oil nearby.
Bingo!
there’s no reason to argue for Argentinian ownership of the Falklands. Hell, Argentina taking ownership of the Falklands is more colonialist than UK maintaining ownership
The United Nations says otherwise.
The Wiki page is really interesting reading on the ownership of that island, really jumps around over the centuries.
This one part of the article really jumps out at me…
That self-determination is further rendered inapplicable due to the disruption of the territorial integrity of Argentina that began with a forceful removal of its authorities in the islands in 1833, thus there is a failure to comply with an explicit requirement of UN Resolution 1514 (XV).[93][94]
You literally cherry picked and misrepresented that paragraph.
The actual paragraph states the UN declared that the UK and Argentina should negotiate a peaceful resolution to the question of sovereignty over the Falklands.
Twice the Argentine government declined British offers to have the matter heard by the International Court of Justice and instead STARTED A WAR.
The population doesn’t want to join Argentina and Argentina has never made any honest attempt to negotiate in good faith.
Read the fucking reply. It’s right there.
Twice the UK offered to have the matter heard by the International Court of Justice. Twice Argentina refused.
Their demand has been the total removal of the British population and unconditional surrender of all of the Falklands island.

How do you know this? Honestly curious.

That’s how we know.
Any link to a source?
It is literally in the Wikipedia sources you keep using that you claim to have read.
So we will put that claim to have read the article down as another in your long line of fabrications.
