But if the islands were empty before? Like there's islands who have thousands of years of history of people living there. But then there's those who just doesn't.
There weren't empty at the time of the British invasion.
There was an Argentinian settlement with a governor and a military garrison.
The British suck but not literally everything they do is an invasion. And there were other Europeans there when they first arrived, not Argentinians.
Both Spain and France and UK each have stronger claims than Argentina.
No garrison.
There weren't "people" in the New World, so colonizing it was totally cool /s
You have to be one of the dumbest people I've ever interacted with on this platform, and that's genuinely saying something.
You're completely unable to make a coherent case for your beliefs, and all your arguments basically amount to "it just is"
Good luck with life, I guess.
OK so now YOU'RE equating humans to literally just birds and plants
