The Malvinas Should Be Peacefully Returned to Argentina

Argentina should be given its Malvinas Islands back from British imperialists in accord with the Monroe doctrine of 1823 that provided reproof for the evil of colonialism in the western hemisphere by European imperial powers. 

The Malvinas, a.k.a. 'Falklands' islands have been settled by five different nations. The Malvinas, a.k.a. 'Falklands' islands have been settled by five different nations over the course of history. British naval prowess induced that nation to continue efforts to dominate the Malvinas with force. Because of the first and second world war alliance the British were allowed to sneak back in, and of course they were more helpful that Argentines in the cold war era at anti-Soviet activity in the South Atlantic. Payment for military support by sacrificing the liberty of an Argentine island group to imperialism should not be a part of U.S. history however.
The British were one of the powers that let its subjects dwell upon the Malvinas, yet the British settlers vacated entirely after 1774. The Spaniards did not flee until 1811.
Later in 1820 and again in 1829 some British and Argentine privateers dwelt again on the Malvinas and asked protection from Britain and Argentina. The privateers under one Luis Vernet were given reproof by a U.S. Naval vessel-the U.S.S. Lexington.
The islands were declared free from all Government by the U.S.A. and the privateers were arrested and released in Montevideo. This was in accord with the principles of the Monroe Doctrine and self-determination for free people of the western hemisphere throwing off the shackles of exploitative globalist rulers.
Efforts by colonialist powers to interfere in the affairs of the western hemisphere were to be viewed as acts of aggression. That included the Malvinas Islands.
