Notes: The Falklands was inhabited by France first and then two years later by the British, at different locations, and thus the facts still disputed to this day. Ironically France settled here, as an alternative incase New France fell, and later gave up this territory to the Spanish, although some say under dubious circumstances.
Argentina claims what was Spain’s is now theirs. They tried to invade, at a time they were under military rule, and as many leaders do, they wanted to divert failures, (Argentina is a land of failures) they tried to invade and many soldiers had not even shoes. The illegal invasion was a war crime and still the Country has not been held to account.
What’s funny is the dictators using propaganda to brain wash the uneducated masses, act much like Trump does today. Argentina is a country run by Trumps for many decades.
The British, at the time defended the rights of the islanders, and upheld democracy and eventually won he war of the Falkland’s against the war criminals!
To this day the Falkland Islands have voted to remain free and a territory of the UK.
I know more than one Margret! Hahahahahahahahaha
SideNotes: I found this book in a second book store in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia! To make a long story short I was there for a family reunion of the Murrays, I am related to Anne Murray thus how I met the likes of Margret Atwood, Rita MacNeil and Leonard Cohen amongst many others, the sing-a-long was great in the east coast Celtic tradition!
