@617ah@_bookrants@OopsGuess The green box shown on that Map graphic treats the line as a rigid, flat 20.00° N line. Modern cartographers often just draw a rectangle using 20°N as a coordinate cutoff without reading the full clause about the Bashi Channel.
@617ah@_bookrants@OopsGuess The legal text of Article III in the Treaty of Paris (1898) includes the Bashi Channel:
"A line running from west to east along or near the twentieth parallel of north latitude, and through the middle of the navigable channel of Bachi."
@javierota@KS240222 The Spanish left in 1811 and Argentina allowed some guy (vernet) to make a settlement in the 1820s who also had permission from the British but Argentina didn't military control it until 1832.
@aslak_randers@StillUnsung "Settler colonialism is a specific type of colonialism in which foreign populations permanently migrate to a territory with the intention of displacing, assimilating, or eliminating the native, Indigenous population." There was no indigenous population
@ilikekittiteess@ojvhteuhyhes The Spanish and British claimed it, saying "it came with it" was basically irrelevant at the time as there was no inhabitants and there was no control. It being close to your territory is not a strong claim to anything
@Jocdhk@PolitlcsUK So you want the UK to drop to the standards of these authoritarian countries such as Saudi Arabia who will just call anything terrorism to keep their grip on power
