    When exactly did Argentina ever control the Falklands though?

    The wiki page goes into detail. However, besides having their own people on the island at some points, they claim ownership via inheritance from Spain when they won their independence from Spain, and the Spanards had been on the island before anyone else.

    The U.N. actually agreed with Argentina, and asked Great Britain to give the islands back to them.

      The link literally shows Argentina made the claim after the British.

      The island has voted numerous times they prefer to remain part of Britain.

      Twice the Argentine government has declined the UK’s offer to have the matter of sovereignty heard by the International Court of Justice.

      Instead they choose to START a war over it.

      Just stop already. For some reason this topic is a brain worm for Argentinians. You all go batshit over it and lose all reason and perspective.
