I don’t know. I just look at the UK and Argentina and think none of the above.

No surprises. The Argentines have consistently declined to undertake negotiations with the British government if any representative of the native population is present.

Why would British citizens want to live in fascist Argentina, after it invaded their island?

THose 3 may have wanted the Falklands as a independent nation so they could get a UN seat and vote to cancel every Argentinian vote.

Today... they would vote Japan

in 1955... they would vote North Korea

The Japanese were brutal monsters in Korea from 1910 to 1945.

Present-day Japanese are NOT those brutal monsters

Its more than that, the UK didn’t take them from Argentina in the first place.

While I’m late to this, here’s my thoughts. With Falkland Islands, main reason Argentina is interested is because of oil, natural reserves & fish which Falkland Islands have. Venezuela’s late Pres. Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias, along with Bolivia’s Evo Morales & Ecuador’s Rafael Correa side with Argentina because they’re all Socialists as Argentina’s President Cristina Fernandez Kirchner is & it would benefit Venezuela’s Citgo as they can profit from the natural gas & oil.

Argentina is interested in Falkland Islands because they want the oil, natural gas & fish which the F.I. have & Argentina’s allies Bolivia, Venezuela, Ecuador & Cuba side with Argentina because they can also profit from the oil, fish & natural gas . If Falkland Islands were to become useless in that if oil & natural gas runs out, Argentina would lose interest. If Falkland Islanders voted for independence, Argentine military would enter Falkland Islands without a fight & claim the F.I. Big reason why Falkland Islanders voted to stay British-for British military protection.
