The British Empire was the FIRST DRUG TRAFFICKING STATE IN THE WORLD During the Opium War, it was the conflict between China and Great Britain between the years 1839 and 1842. The trigger was the introduction into China of opium grown in India and marketed by the British East India Company, administrator of India. UK, had the support of the US who were mediators, who gave them the AM9L Sidewinder missiles that made the difference, allowing them to use Ascencion Island, despite all the help from the US, the Argentine pilots sank 7 English ships, the destroyers CL 42 HMS Sheffield and HMS Coventry, the frigates CL 21 HMS Ardent and HMS Antelope, and more than 24 ships of the Pirate fleet were seriously damaged, including the aircraft carrier HMS Invincible, which the UK never recognized due to the shame they felt when they were ridiculed in NATO.

Bernhardt Memorandum (1910). At the request of the head of the American Department of the Foreign Office, Sidney Spicer, researcher Gastón De Bernhardt prepared a memorandum that condensed the history of the islands and the legal arguments of Great Britain and Argentina. That memorandum served as an internal guide for the Foreign Office until 1938. Bernhardt stated the following: “The question of sovereignty was specifically excluded from the agreement made with Spain in 1771.” This agreement contained a secret clause by which Great Britain was obliged to abandon the islands, which it did in 1774. “For 55 years, until 1829 (that is, until 13 years after Argentina's independence was proclaimed), Great Britain “He showed no interest in the islands.” “Great Britain began to claim the eastern island only in 1829” (it had never claimed it during Spanish rule; this is the island where Puerto Argentino is located). Spicer Letter (1910). In a letter to De Bernhardt himself, Spicer confessed: “It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the attitude of the Argentine government is not entirely unjustified, and that our action has been somewhat despotic.” Fitzmaurice Memorandum (1936). In February 1936, legal adviser George Fitzmaurice advised against Britain submitting the Falklands question to international arbitration: “Our position has certain weaknesses. But we have occupied the islands for more than a century (albeit illegally, as Argentina says) and for strategic reasons we cannot give them up. So the best thing to do is to take a hard line.”

The Special Committee on Decolonization (UN) declared that the Malvinas were subject to the decolonization process, urged in 1960 by the United Nations General Assembly. In 1965, Great Britain and Argentina began to negotiate the future of the islands within the framework of the UN: London recognized, in fact, the colonial status of the Falklands, its only argument for delaying the reintegration of the archipelago to Argentina was the will of the islanders. The Crown no longer claimed title to the islands. The right to self-determination, raised by Great Britain in favor of the islanders, only arises in the case of a population that demands its independence: something that the 1,800 inhabitants of the British colony never did or could do. That was the last argument of the British government, which since 1910 had been retreating from its positions - inaugurated in 1833 by Lord Palmerston with a firm defense of the right of sovereignty of the Crown - until reaching the point where the conflict was reached when, The April 2, Argentina occupied the islands.
