Nop, you're just mudding the discussion. Here are the facts:
- Spain named several governors for those islands from 1774 to 1810. Sovereignity was clearly stated by Spain over those islands.
- During that time, those islands depended of Buenos Aires government.
- If Spain owned Argentina plus the Malvinas, then once Argentina got its independence from Spain, the Malvinas were included as part of that independence.
- 1820, frigate La Heroína sailed to Malvinas to take possesion of it
- 1825, Great Britain admitted Argentina's independence from Spain, but didn't claim the islands.
- 1828, Buenos Aires government granted Port Soledad to Luis Vernet, for building up a colony. For this purpose, he shipped 100 inhabitants to the islands.
- 1829, Vernet was named as governor of the islands
- 1833, Great Britain took the Malvinas, and expelled the inhabitants from the islands.
Not to mention other facts like geology, and that the UN approved the new map for Argentina, which expands the continental shelf all around the islands.[1][2]
So, care to tell me how can Argentina OWN all the argentinean sea shelf AROUND the islands, BUT the islands?

- PhilWright 9y agoWe should ignore the wishes of all the people that live their, speak English and identify as British. Sounds reasonable to me. </sarcasm>
- mrleinad 9y agoI don't want to ignore them. I just want them to remain british in Britain, and leave my country were they reside without our approval.

The map you're linking to shows Argentina claiming much of the Antarctic. Leaving the Falklands aside, it should be obvious that a map like this is rather one sided and certainly doesn't have any international recognition given that no sovereign claim over the Antarctic is recognized by the UN or anyone else. Aside from that I think you're misunderstanding what this map means. There's an international convention on continental shelves but national sovereignty supersedes it. There's no rule that if your continental shelf intersects territory intersects some island you own that island. If it did then China would own Taiwan, France / Belgium / The Netherlands & Norway would own the British isles, South Korea would own Japan etc.
