[QUOTE="ZeFrenchy, post: 416407, member: 47244"] If I was the king of Castrovia and arrived at some island a few kilometres away from Trovinia and inhabited by only a few Trovinians and then took possession of that island, pay some Castrovians to settle there and then asked them a century after whether they want to be Castrovians or Trovinians, guess what they would answer. 180 years after the occupation, I agree that the islands are British and so they will remain. I also agree that the Argentine presidents have used the Falklands as a nationalistic argument when in political distress. Furthermore, the Argentines should really let go, a 200 year old claim has really no validity. No one would suport a Mexican claim to get California and Texas back, and the Falklands case is even more far-fetched. BUT, the British occupation was indeed an invasion. [/QUOTE]
