I can't probably explain this concept properly, maybe Bewolf can be of help?

Not missing the point at all...the point is, the land wasn't theirs to begin with (by way of legal and recognised land register)...but as you say, don't know how to explain the concept either...or more to the point, know how to link it to baronWastelan's original post
The Spaniards occupied Falklands/Malvinas, as did the French (for some years), as did the Brits, as did the Argentinians...we all fought, we all fought some more, we all ran away and came back, we fought even more and we are where we are today...back to square one. As is the case with most modern disputes, all started centuries ago.
The sooner we break geographical boundaries, we forget our differences, we all make love (big melting pot style), and create a completely unified human race without religion [ducks and covers], racism and xenophobia we might be able to get to wherever we're supposed to be heading...maybe...
