@martinzekeo Exactly. That’s precisely the point: Argentina exercised administration and authority over the islands before 1833. That’s why there’s a sovereignty dispute!

@MerloDieg Read before posting

Just for those who said, Argentina doesn’t have a legitimate claim to the Malvinas. UK readers, you might revise your history more closely and carefully.

@feibianAjax No single document proves sovereignty. What it shows is that vessels operated under Argentine authority at the time. That’s part of a broader historical pattern of administration before 1833 (which is exactly why there’s a dispute today).

@MerloDieg A vessel is asking the port captain permission to leave port. How on Earth this proves that Argentina has a legitimate claim to the Falklands? "Request permission for said vessel to travel to the Falkland Islands and southern coasts for the purpose of fishing for sea lions."

@Kilogram42047 Never been there, I would love to visit. Thanks for the recommendation!

@MerloDieg Go back to Spain

UK people are so ignorant. They are arguing in favour of islands that are 13,000 km away from their hometown and saying they belong to them. Guys, India is not yours anymore, and the MALVINAS won’t be yours in the near future either🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

@Melitaalsole Warst du in Argentinien? Kennen Sie den historischen und souveränen Anspruch, den sie vertreten? Wenn das der Fall ist, sprechen Sie nicht.

@MerloDieg Nein, es ist nicht so.

Argetinians can lie as much as they want about the Falklands, they're never getting them.

@laidlaw_stuart Might I remember you about Hong Kong, with any army it was taking!

@MerloDieg OK who's taking them..

@UnBearAbull I’m really sorry to hear that from the creators of the settler movement in Europe 🤣🤣

@MerloDieg Argentina isn't yours either, you European settler.

@terribletrevor1 Ah encima de caradura, bardeas en español y luego argumentas en Inglés. Tranca hermano, no te voy a juzgar. Lo que haya realizado un régimen dictador es párate de la historia que no tenemos que olvidar, su decisión ha sido respondida en la justicia. Lo mismo con Cromwell, ¿no?

@MerloDieg Your claim can stand as firmly as you like. It’s not going to change. You cannot now displace all of those people living there and forget all of the lives lost. Can you remind me as to why your country decided to try and forcefully claim the Falkland Islands in the 80s?

¿Cómo va? Únicamente defiendo el reclamo legítimo de mi país. Por convicción a la soberanía, al derecho internacional y al reclamo histórico y sostenido por vía diplomática. Comete la falacia ad hominem las veces que sea, mi reclamo es firme.

@makipilled That's all we needed! That the British think they have some legitimate claim on Antarctica. Stop interpreting international law for your convenience. Without the Malvinas, you couldn't even dream of Antarctica.

What argument is there against revoking the visas of every Chilean and Argentine citizen in the UK? Chile also illegally claims the British Antarctic territory alongside Argentina, fuck both of them.

@Zoot_Lord The UK abandoned its settlement in Puerto de la Cruzada in 1774 for economic reasons. From 1774 to 1833, British people weren’t there. Moreover, the Malvinas maritime space is part of Argentina’s maritime space. Our claim is founded on historic and territorial arguments.

@MerloDieg A settlement created in the 1820’s with the sole purpose to strengthen Argentine claims which at that point was legally British. Also only the governor was removed from his position the settlers were allowed to stay.

Before 1833, there was an designated government by Buenos Aires, with an Argentinian population.

@Joshpox92 @WarMonitor3 You might be blind to the great Islamic British Empire; you can’t deny what they have done to our population in 1833, and how they implanted a society.

@MerloDieg @WarMonitor3 I agree, that's why I support the indigenous Falkland Islanders instead of the Argentinian colonial empire

Chile has just backed Argentinas renewed claims on the British Falkland Islands. Good luck with that...

@Joshpox92 @WarMonitor3 Supporting sovereignty is better than supporting invasions (Malvinas, 1833)

@MerloDieg @WarMonitor3 Supporting Argentinian colonialism is evil

@somoscorta Error conceptual. La campaña del desierto no fue para matar a indígenas, sino adquirir para el estado nacional las tierras fértiles. Los que se oponían sufrían las consecuencias, y el resto iban al sistema de distribución, luego a colonias agrícolas.

"El mito de la Argentina es que no es tan indígena" Inés Palacios, activista antirracista, opinó que "decir que el país es más europeo que el resto de Latinoamérica da aires xenófobos" y Lizy Tagliani agregó: "No nos creemos racistas porque no compartimos con negros".

@VickyRichterUSA Bravery is not exclusive to one side. Argentine soldiers also fought, suffered, and died under extreme conditions. Honoring veterans matters. But reducing a disputed sovereignty conflict to a one-sided narrative isn’t history, it’s storytelling.

Bayonets, Mud, and Resolve: When Men, Not Hashtags, Held the Line As a German veteran, I will say this plainly: Forty-four years ago, over 100 ships of the Royal Navy sailed south following Argentina’s invasion of the Falkland Islands. No hashtags. No commentary panels. Just orders—and men who followed them. Before “Bravery” Became a Word People Tweet Today, courage is often performed. Back then, it was carried—40kg on your back, across wet, freezing, unforgiving terrain that punished every step. No comfort. No spotlight. No guarantee. And when the march ended? Bayonets fixed. Hand-to-hand combat. In darkness. In brutal conditions. Against an enemy just as determined. The Kind of War That Doesn’t Fit a Narrative This is the kind of war that doesn’t translate well into modern slogans. Because it wasn’t theoretical. It was endurance. Discipline. Grit. A refusal to break when everything—from the weather to the exhaustion—told you to. The Men Behind the Memory And here is the part that matters most to me: I am proud and honoured to know two of those men personally—and to call them friends. Not legends in headlines. Men who carried the weight, walked the distance, and stood their ground. Not a Slogan—A Standard “The Falklands will always be British” is easy to say. What made it true was something far harder: Men who went through hell—and did not step back. No irony needed. Only respect.
