Here's a gif that I made that shows British decolonisation from the end of the Second World War, until 1997, when the British Empire is generally accepted to have come to a final end with the return of Hong Kong to China:

Not even close. Not ever. The British had claimed the Islands (and this is the important bit the Argies coveniently forget) AFTER the Spanish abandoned them and BEFORE Argentina existed.
