    Great comment! Accurate and entertaining to read. Well done! Was giving up hope, after reading so many bad factual takes on the ownership situation on this topic.

    I’ve been posting the wiki link about the conflict all over this topic. If people ended up not reading that link, I would hope that they read your comment at least.

    While Britain still held their claim of “finders keepers” Argentina countered with “losers weepers”

    One minor quibble, and to be fair, Argentina is claiming based on the fact that Spain owned the islands, and when Argentina won their independence from Spain, they also got the islands.

      British owned it before Spain came into picture. They have a older claim than Spain and therfore Argentinian.
