I also know how to copy and paste from the wikipedia, vernon99... but if you do not want to take time and study the history of the islands, please be fair and paste the whole article! The first part says:
-"The islands were uninhabited when they were first discovered by
European explorers, but there is evidence that Patagonian Indians may have reached the Falklands in canoes. Artifacts including
arrowheads and the remains of a
canoe have been found on the islands. There is also the presence of the
Falkland Island fox, or
Warrah (now extinct), but these may have reached the islands via a
land bridge when the
sea level was much lower during the last
ice age. A group of islands in Falkland Island region appeared on maps from the early 16th century, suggesting either Ferdinand Magellan or another expedition of the 1500s may have sighted them.
Amerigo Vespucci may have sighted the islands in 1502, but he did not name them. In 1519 or 1520, Esteban Gómez, a captain in Magellan’s expedition, encountered several islands. Members of his crew called them "Islas de Sansón y de los Patos" ("Islands of Samson and the Ducks"). These islands were probably the Jason Islands, northwest of West Falkland, but the names "Islas de Sansón" (or "San Antón," "San Son," and "Ascensión") were used for the Falklands on Spanish maps during this period.
Piri Reis, a Turkish admiral of the time who drew remarkably accurate maps, also showed islands that may well have been the Falkland Islands."-
And continues with text you have pasted, but it´s not cleared... there are no documents, unless the maps, of the discovered.
Tonker, with that way of thinking you should must give back the Ulster to Ireland and Gibraltar to Spain, is that fair enough for you?
