Sadly, there is no way to find out, f.ex. by a quick Google search.

They're called Îles Malouines in French and Islas Malvinas in Spanish, after all.

This is all true. Yet, all I’m hearing is "Water under the bridge! Annexion is just a thing humans do, get over it." and I think that’s too easy to say when you aren’t, for example, of African heritage. I simply believe that there

We could have stopped right at the moment when ‘need’ was replaced by ‘greed’. I know, illusionary.

That may all be true, but you’re talking about voluntary affiliations here. Colonies are rarely ceded voluntarily, but are usually the result of an invasion or a lost conflict. The fact that this is no longer the case with Gibraltar today,

I was not talking about any of the points you mention, I was refering to the geographical facts alone. Wouldn't you agree that in general it is kind of silly to claim ownership of a piece of land that is far, far away from your own cou
