Now, this in not a thread ment just for the discussion of the islands ownership, but to appeciate the history of British-Argentine relations and how each country had an influence on the other.
Personally, I think the UK has been the most influential country in our history as an independant nation, yes more than Italy, up until the Cold War.
Also, although I would get frown at for saying this in many places in Argentina, I do believe the UK has a more rightful claim to the islands than us, way more. Many people believe that, but nobody would utter it cause ou'de look like a "traitor".
That being said, I do feel a deep respect for our troops (not those in command, though) while I still don't stand for the purpose of the war. I think this a duality many countries which have had cuestionable wars have to face.
I think the Falklands War has shaped us as a nation significantly.
In the short term, it skyrocketed Maggie Thatcher's popularity at a time when she was more precariously placed than ever, and in the long term it enabled us to remain more military-conscious than many others.
Nowadays the UK and France are the only European countries who take military upkeep semi-seriously, and I am very grateful to see that the lessons learned from the Falklands have not been entirely forgotten

Reminder that the UK was the original aggressor by bullying Argentinian workers in South Georgia Reminder that Britain dishonoured the 1971 treaty Reminder that Argentina presented its case to the UN but was vetoed by the UK and USA
Jack Price
fuck the falklands and fuck the brainwashed monkeys who keep chimping out about them when we have real issues in our country

why do you care about this?
Jace Ramirez
It was quite influential for us as well form a political point of view. It's the main reason the Military Junta left power so swiftly and with no prior deals of impunity like say, Pinochet

All these cucks in this thread. Disgusting. Did your English semen reserves run dry? Fucking submissive faggots

Macri will crash the economy sooner. He can't stop increasing out debt, it won't last long.

I have no problem with the war itself, dying in a war protecting your fatherland is the most honorable death there is. But I do have a problem with skinny faggots that suck Anglo cock just to get their attention and approval. Man up you bunch of faggots, don't be a cuck to your country.
Jacob Mitchell
They basically built (or their private enterprices) most of our railway infrastructure, they instaled instaled some of the first slaughter houses too. During the National Organization period (from the 1850s to 1880) we began to outline a foreign policy favouring relations with Britain, which became the main buyer of Argentine raw materials and the major source of investment in the country. By mid century, London bankers were sending in capital, to invest in railways, docks, packing houses, and utilities. London sent in agents to handle shipping, insurance, and banking.

I can though. Next time the Argies ruin themselves I'm putting all my assets in US real estate and then I'm gonna go to Argentina to NEET it up in a 19th century cattle rancher's palace

Joseph Hughes
grow up man
I mean, i certainly wish thei slands were ours but on what bases? We ruled them for like 3 years out of 250 or so. The people living there are British to the core too
sure, Imperialism sucks, but they didn't kill the natives and took their land here or forced an unequal traty on a less developed population. The just move to a barren rock ffs
grow up
Kayden Lopez
Dying "protecting your fatherland" is almost as sad as dying for religion ie. dying for the cause of establishing an Islamic state
Dying trying to save someone else's life, that's an honorable death.
Wyatt Parker
The in the interwar period Britain switched from free trade to imperial protection and Argentina got squeezed out. Argentina's modern history is all about the trauma they have from being betrayed by England-senpai
John Russell
i'm gonna take that as a yes.
how does it feel knowing that your country only exists thanks to sucking british and american cock? how does it make you feel that the defender of islam is cozying up to israel? or that your crown prince wants is trying to build a copy of dubai on the country that hosts makkah and madinah? i've read that argentina has the largest british diaspora outside of the anglo countries
Luis Nguyen
If it's one of the cucks in here you can be sure they would.
Can you not read you gay ass homo? I said I have no problem with the war, the strongest country obviously won. I'm not gonna bother to explain the rest of what I wrote earlier, read it again, if not then go suck a dick
Camden Scott
>i've read that argentina has the largest british diaspora outside of the anglo countries well outside of Europe and former colonies, maybe idk. Wikipedia sais that Brazil has around 11,000 while Argentina has like 8,500

Lucas Wilson
So what's your point? Why would someone seek approval by making this thread?
That's funny when you consider it the opposite happened to us. The war weakened the Military Junta so much that they had to call for elections the following year. While they were a pressure group through the rest of the 80s (putting the government of Alfonsín in jeopardy), by the time Menem came around, they lost all influence. And then, the Carrasco controversy in 1995 put the final nail in the coffin.
Hunter Myers
The sad part is that Britain and Argentina were m8s for centuries, before they chimped out and invaded our gay, nigger islands. We helped them build their railways and much of their early infrastructure.
Falklands is such an ugly and meaningless name, why not rename the islands Malloweens?
not to mention the juicy arms/cannons/warboats deal with comfy installments for the Triple Alliance war not saying it with hard feelings, you sold weapons to our side too. quite humane and enterprising of you people
Jaxson Ortiz
>Britain and Argentina were m8s for centuries Pretty much. Although on occasions, some of our governments made us your butt buddy instead of actual equals. That ended up bitting us on the ass after the two world wars.
>We helped them build their railways and much of their early infrastructure. Which still stand to this day. We still have left-handed trains and subways. Also, don't forget our sport culture as well.
Gavin Rivera
Well of course they help buid our country with their personal gain in mind. It's called business
Kayden Lee
îles Malouines sounds way better, it sounds so soft, i like it.
Brandon Walker
Yeah those british invasions to Buenos Aires totally never happened.
Cooper Powell
nice digits, but it was a move against Spain, not Argentina
Sorry, mah nigga. We spent it all fighting N*poleon.

I like the Falklands, we're the ones that feed them and when they're in a really bad shape they come to the Hospital here. My cousin went there and apparently they know a lot about Uruguay, even current news.
