the Malvinas Island occupation by the British Empire

There was a British colony on the Falklands before Argentina even existed as a country. It was unnamed and unoccupied by anyone.

Then why not say they belong to the french, they were there even before the brits?

As far as I can read Las Malvinas were occupied by spanish and british forces, then the brits volountarily abandoned the place[0]
