The Caribean islands are self governed and autonomous from Britain. Though within the sphere of influence of the Americas, wars are not being fought over these interests. Diego Garcia, the Pitcairns, Cyprus air bases are not with this sphere. The Falklands are inhabited by 14 people, who’s, according to the article, destiny is now determined to be “non-negotiable”.
France has always, since the French Revolution, absorbed its world holdings as a part of France... its not autonomous.
The civilian population of the Falklands, according to the 2006 census, was 2,955; about 70% of the residents trace their roots to Great Britian, none to Argentina. The current civilian population is estimated to be closer to 3,500.
Foreign affairs for the Caribean(sic) Islands are still handled by the UK, as they are for the Falklands. The CIA World Fact Book describes the Falklands as a self governing overseas territory of the UK., as it does for Bermuda, Anguilla, Turks and Caicos, Montserrat
Though within the sphere of influence of the Americas, wars are not being fought over these interests
The UK has in the past defended its Overseas territories and dependencies in the Americas as and when needed even after they achieve full independence e.g. Belize was threatened by Guatamala until the UK sent some ground forces and a squadron of Harriers to Belize
The Falklands are inhabited by 14 people...
Well, actually, no. According to the CIA World Fact Book the population of the Falklands as of July 2008 was 3140.
France has always, since the French Revolution, absorbed its world holdings as a part of France... its not autonomous.
So let me get this straight, if a territory in the Americas has all its laws set in an European capital viz Paris, it doesn't conflict with the Munroe Doctrine but if its an autonomous self governing entity that has only its foreign affairs taken care of by a European power it does conflict with the Doctrine.
