I don't know of anywhere in the world that has ever joined an Empire. Certainly Mozambique joined the Commonwealth (It was never part of the British Empire, it was Portugese) but by and large the British arrived & took, annexed, occupied whatever they felt they should & the Royal Navy, generally, defied anyone to say different. It was what happened in those days, I'm not saying it was right. I suspect someone stuck a flag, a Union Jack, into the thin soil of the Falklands sometime in the 1700s, but I dont know exactly when, but Britains' claim to sovreignity seemed to be upheld when Argentina invaded them, Las Malvinas, in 1980. I've just read a Captain John Strong landed there in 1690, but they have been French in their time as well as any Spanish or Argentinian claim.
