What was that about the UK having no territory near the Falklands?
I won't question that, but
In there you will see that the Malvinas are inside Argentina Oceanic territory

According to you, because the Falklands are close to Argentina, they are Argentinean Territory, so I'm saying, if the Empire still existed, because Canada is bigger an close to the U.S. it would be part of the Uk according to your logic.

There are almost no communities outside of that part of Northern Europe who think of themselves as British. The Canadians are just that. Indians were definitely Indians even before Ghandi. And at least after the early part of the 1700s the "colonists" were Americans to themselves.
As for South Georgia Island, I've seen that thing in documentaries. It's a huge fractured hunk of rock topped with albatross poo and a scientific station if I remember right.
The tiny island still got pretty far with 1/4 of the world.
