Re:@12:55...The UK knew that Argentina had purchased Exocet missiles from France. Mrs. Thatcher was concerned that Argentina could use them against her warships. She called Mitterand and asked if Argentina was capable of firing the Exocets. Mitterand said, "I'll ask my intelligence officers and get right back to you." French intelligence hated Mitterand. They had already had an incident in New Zealand in which they left behind scuba equipment with 'Made in France' on it, in order to embarrass Mitterand. So French intelligence answered "NO" even though they knew that that was not true. Mitterand told Thatcher that the Argentines had not had instruction on the missiles. Mrs. Thatcher sent the troop ship into a firestorm of Exocet missiles and many British sailors died. Thanks, France!

[@ronald3836]

If I am not mistaken, France recently admitted that it possessed codes to disable the Exocet missiles but had not provided them to the UK.

The lack of references to official sources on these videos honestly bothers me. At 5:03 the british didn't "just left", under the declaration of 1770 prince of Masserano restored Port Egmont to the british only with the condition they leave in two months, the Spanish sovereignty over the islands wasn't under discussion. And again, on 1790 under the treaty of San Lorenzo of Escorial the UK committed to not establish any settlements on South American shores. Also, there's absolutely no mention of Jewett's expedition to claim the islands for Argentina in 1820. You can't fully grasp the dispute without understanding all of these.

[@nunya___]

Not sure the point you're making but "South American shores" could or could not include the islands that the British already owned. There were never indigenous people on the island and it's long been inhabited by British citizens so Argentina has zero...zero chance of legally taking it from the UK. Just because it's close to Argentina doesn't make it theirs to claim.

[@martindione386]

@@nunya___ Britain was never at any point in exclusive control of the Falklands, their clandestine settlement was built two years after the French settled, in 1767 Spain took over Port Louis permanently until 1811. Britain left the islands in 1774, never protesting or challenging the 32 Spanish and 5 Argentine governors, any claim prescribed by acquiescence after 55 years of complete silence. They had absolutely no right to take them from Argentina that was already settled in 1833. By the principle of utis possidetis iure of 1810 implemented by the South American colonies that separated from Spain (the default convention for every colony that gained independence ever since), each country inherited the same territory administered as a colony. Any doubts regarding the territorial extension of the new States of Latin America were dissipated by the Foreign Secretary, George Canning, during the mediation between Argentina and Brazil in the dispute over the Banda Oriental (now Uruguay). The instructions given by Canning to the British Minister Lord Ponsonby on March 18th, 1826, read: "(...) Your Lordship will observe to the Brazilian Ministers, that unless by a general tacit agreement, the States of the New World be admitted to stand towards each other, in respect to geographical rights and limits, exactly as they stood when Colonies, questions of the utmost perplexity will infallibly arise out of their rival and conflicting pretensions; and the whole Continent of America, whether Spanish or Portuguese, will ultimately be laid open to the designs of any enterprising adventurers, who may think fit to carve out for themselves new dominions." And who were in possession of the FI in 1826? Argentina. 190 years of illegal possession doesn't give rights to the invader.

Good video, although something KEY was missing: Argentina invaded in 1982 not only due to the British vulnerability over the islands, but also because of the economic and popularity crisis the repressive dictatorial government was facing, and the 'need' for a heroic national cause to appease the people. Without that, there wouldn't have been any war, and economic and diplomatic rapprochement between both parties would have continued, potentially leading to a peaceful handover of the Falklands by the UK. Additionally, it would have been good to highlight the impact of having a war WITHIN the capitalist West during the Cold War, with the UK (a nuclear power) as the protagonist and in the most remote part of South America. There were even threats of bombings on mainland Argentina, which would have been completely unprecedented. The war was also quite bloody and had impactful stories that I believe could be summarized in a few seconds and still add a lot to this video. I hope you to improve this vid in the future, not 'cause it is bad but 'cause it could be way better!

Surprisingly, this is a very well researched video that avoided to repeat the propaganda that populates most english language articles on this issue. I'd like to make 2 remarks: - When it narrated the British seizing in 1833, it missed to mention that most of the population left after the invasion and were replaced by British colonists after 1840. - It also failed to mention resolution 2065 from the UNGA, that recognises the existence of a dispute between the UK and Argentina and calls for a resolution via sovereignty negotiations. There actually were negotiations for 17 years after this that ended up failing.

The only difference is the islands native inhabitants, and the only permanant population the islands have ever had in their whole history, are British.

That's not so clear. The British handed over Hong Kong. There is a clause in the treaty of Utrecht and Gibraltar that Spain can remove, which obliges the UK to hand over Gibraltar to Spain, if it gets rid of it. In the last referendum on the European Union, 98% of Gibraltarians wanted to belong to the European Union. We already have Andorra. We can have Gibraltar in the European Union. Argentina is going to integrate with all of Latin America in a great union, European Union style. If there is another conflict with the Malvinas, all of Latin America has to fight, which will form a single voice. Argentina has multiplied its population by 200% since 1982. The United Kingdom has increased 15% since 1982. Argentina has immense natural resources. UK no. At some point the British will encounter an Argentina with twice the population of the UK and a much more powerful fleet... Hong-Kong.

[@zigongosaurus5274]

@Gloriaimperial1 1. Britain gave up Hong Kong because the New territories were on a 99 year lease and China could restrict resources to the city. Spain can't do that with Gibraltar and Argentina can't do it with the Falklands. 2. What is this clause that magically grants Gibraltar to Spain?? 3. A very similar amount of Gibraltarians want to remain as a British territory 4. Spain doesn't own Andorra. At all. In fact the French President is the Co Prince of Andorra so it would be more accurate to suggest that France "owns" it. 5. I highly doubt that Latin American Union is going to materialise lol. And most of them aren't doing anything in the event of a war. 6. Argentinas military has barely improved since 1982. The UKs has improved a great deal, now with 3 aircraft carriers and several nuclear submarines. There is also a British force on the islands that could easily decimate any Argentina force that approaches them. The British military has superior technology, training and funding despite problems in the latter as well as numbers, its still miles ahead of Argentina's. 7. Argentinas corrupt government means that its economy is in shambles despite its size and abundant natural resources. This has been the case for nearly a century. 8. The UK population is still significantly higher than that of Argentina. The only way Argentina can invade the islands is if they somehow overcome such ingrained corruption and actually gain the money to fund a well equipped and advanced military force. In simpler terms, they need to get good. And they probably won't anytime soon.

[@Gloriaimperial1]

@@zigongosaurus5274 But Hong Kong was leased for 99 years because the British knew that China was going to become a power. British policy never gives anything generously: they even took away from Portugal, which had always been their ally, the piece of land between Angola and Mozambique, which generated a great crisis in Portugal in 1890, which years later overthrew the Portuguese monarchy. They even took away part of the Gibraltar airport (before its construction) when the British requested the area to treat British wounded, and the United Kingdom appropriated the land. Spain had the fence that divides Gibraltar and the Linea de la Concepción closed for more than 15 years. Closing the gate would cause enormous harm to Gibraltar, because the population would feel trapped. There is a clause in the Treaty of Utrecht, by which the United Kingdom can only give Gibraltar to Spain. In the Brexit referendum in Gibraltar, 98% of the population voted to remain in the European Union. If we close the gate, toughen relations with Gibraltar and renounce the Utrecht clause, in exchange for the incorporation of Gibraltar, as an independent country, into the European Union, tomorrow we must lower the British flag and return it to London folded. I have not said that Spain is the owner of Andorra. Andorra has two heads of state. One is French: co-prince, and the other is the bishop of Urgel (Spain). Andorra is an independent country. The power of the heads of state of the French government and the bishop of Urgell is like that of the Queen of England in Canada. A testimonial power, without the ability to decide policy. What I am saying is that Andorra is independent, as Gibraltar can be inside or outside the European Union. Tax havens are increasingly persecuted. So Gibraltar could be out of business, because the European Union is going to sanction these practices and the money that is hidden there, money stolen from other countries, necessary for social services. Spain and Portugal are united with all of Latin America in the Organization of Ibero-American States and the Ibero-American Summit of nations, which brings together the countries of the Spanish and Portuguese empires, which were united in the 16th-17th centuries. There are alliance movements, promoted by Brazil, that are strongly anti-colonial, such as Mercosur. That is in the spirit of all of Ibero-America. Spanish and Portuguese are equal languages in 89% of the words, and 85% of the 650 million inhabitants of Latin America are of Catholic tradition. If in 1982, Argentina could win the war, if it had had more Exxocet missiles, imagine with an organization larger than the USA and China combined, with twice the population of the USA, with an Ibero-American army that carries out military and naval maneuvers, and that He has superpower consciousness. They call it the big country, which they want to form. It is still early because they have political confrontations. But the clear objective is to replicate a kind of European Union, but much more united. The European Union is a strong bloc where 28 official languages are spoken, and there are several religions, and we are trying to form a common army, and we build airplanes like the Eurofighter. That is the future of Ibero-America, to compete in the world. When the UK faced Argentina in 1982, the UK had twice the population of Argentina. Ibero-America has 10 times the population of the UK. At the end of the century they will have displaced the USA as a power, because they will have 3 times the population of the USA. They can be 3 times poorer, and have the same army. Spain also had difficulties building a modern army in 1980. Almost all the material was French or from the USA. We now build our own aircraft carriers (which Australia buys), state-of-the-art frigates and submarines that launch missiles 1900 km, and we have just launched a rocket into space, privately, and created our own space agency. We also participate in the new European warplane, with France and Germany. In 1960, the United Kingdom and France had 7 and 5 times the GDP of Spain (due to the 20-year international blockade of Spain after the civil war). In 2000, the United Kingdom and France had 3 times the GDP of Spain. In 2018, the Kingdom and France had twice the GDP of Spain. That year we surpassed Italy in per capita income, and we were -8 o10% of the per capita income of the United Kingdom and France. Only the three crises have stopped us: 2008, Pandemic and Ukraine. In the next stretch of 5 or 10 years, we are there. This is something that Argentina will do in collaboration with Brazil and other Latin American nations in the future. They have changed the populist government, and have a more responsible government. I don't think will a war, because we are civilized countries, and the UN and other organizations oppose violence. But the UK is increasingly smaller in the international context. When China surpasses the USA it will provoke a naval conflict in Taiwan and...

It appears that language is often confusing, particularly the word "colonisation". Effectively, the entire world was colonised by the first human beings, coming from Africa. We need to differentiate between settling in an uninhabited area and invading and suppressing the people in an inhabited area. Both are covered by the word "colonisation", but are entirely different. The British settled first in the Falklands and represent since then the overwhelming population of this area. That is different from the situation e.g. in India (or Argentina), where an inhabited country was taken over and the population suppressed by foreigners. Pure geographic proximity does not matter. Relevant is the population living in an area, as long assuming that it is homogeneous. Another example are the Cape Verdes, which were first settled by the Portuguese. Just the fact that - since the Portuguese inhabitants themselves brought Africans on the island and they became the majority over time - today people of African descendancy have now the overwhelming majority in that country, it became independant from Portugal, but of course it cannot be claimed by any African country.

Besides that, even most Argentinians with fully european blood aren't (just) descendants of the colonizers but also are descendant of europeans inmigrants, that came mostly in late XIX century and early XX century; at some point, around half of argentinian population was made up of inmigrants (from anywhere in the world, not just Europe) who settled LEGALLY in our country.
