    So Britain was controlling the Islands before Spain, yet you’re still claiming Argentina inherited them by Spain. Wouldn’t they technically belong to France by your logic?

      Depends on when who vacated the island and who took it over after that, and if vacating even means giving up on ownership or not (IANAL).

      The link I’ve been posting goes over the history, and nations have come and gone and come and gone and come and kicked out others, on that island. Its a mess.
