The Islands were uninhabited when discovered by Europeans. France established a colony on the islands in 1764. In 1765, a British captain claimed the islands for Britain. In early 1770 a Spanish commander arrived from Buenos Aires with five ships and 3,400 soldiers forcing the British to leave Port Egmont. https://fewpal.com/post/1640103_https-foliemolie-nl-pages-keuken-wrappen-target-https-foliemolie-nl-pages-keuken.html
