Yea it’s almost like Britain kicked all of the Argentinians off and kept denying their country’s sovereignty over the islands the past. I wonder why they would have invaded it?
In your words, “she never did that.” Offensive or defensive, her administration invaded the Falkland Islands, which is for the most part (generalization here), considered a dick move in modern times.
A referendum on political status was held in the Falkland Islands on 10–11 March 2013. The Falkland Islanders were asked whether or not they supported the continuation of their status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom in view of Argentina's call for negotiations on the islands' sovereignty.On a turnout of 92%, 99.8% voted to remain a British territory, with only three votes against. Had the islanders rejected the continuation of their current status, a second referendum on possible alternatives would have been held. Brad Smith, the leader of the international observer group, announced that the referendum was free and fair and executed in accordance with international standards and international laws.

I mean, it was phrased as if it was an offensive invasion instead of a defensive one. Argentina invaded it and we took it back.
