Funny how Argentina never thinks to ask the people who actually live there.
Asking the people that currently leave there is not always the correct course of action though.
You want that land over there? Then you just have to kill/displace anyone currently living there, then fill it with your own citizens, then ask them. Easy land grab. Also a genocide.
That's virtually all of human history.
Nah. For most of human history there were not referendums to "let them choose". They just annexed the place.
The referendums is a relatively modern "invention".
