The U.S. is one of the 10 largest countries in the world, only just behind Russia, Canada, Brazil, and China.
Argentina is almost infinitely relatively larger than the Falklands than Canada is to the US. Plus, California alone has more people than Canada. It's not a very logical comparison at all.

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.
And so did Hitler.
