Is Antarctica disputed? I thought there were acknowledged treaties in place that covered who could do what there.
Also, the Falkland Island being disputed is hilarious to me. I’m not saying the UK should own them, but they’ve been de facto British since 1833. Also, you could argue that Argentina didn’t exist as a country until 1853 (constitution) or 1880 (end of Argentina civil wars). Being generous, you could say the country was formed 1810-1816 with its war for independence and declaration of independence. That leaves 23 years of Argentina “running” the Islas Malvinas, followed by nearly two centuries of British de facto sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.
