PBS  The falklands were absolutely an example of occupied territory postinvasion  Note the falklands arent an entire country or even a significant portion of a country  This fact in my mind makes them simply occupied territories    Shuki  Thanks for the understanding  Its nice to see we can agree on something  Now that we are on the same side of the argument let me ask you the same question I asked you earlier  How do we find reliable sources that makes this kind of distinction  I contend that for nuances between terminology of this nature it is virtually impossilbe to dig up RS that explicitly supports your position  I challenge you to find something that spells out what seems to us to be the case  PBSShuki  I think its fair to ask can you provide a number of sources that makes the distinction between occupied territory and military occupation  But at the same time I think its equally fair to say can you provide a number of sources that says the two terms are the same  I think as PBS is suggesting a change from the historical norm the onus of proof is on him   One final point apologies for overly long posts PBS keep in mind that there are undoubtly legal definitions for both these terms but there are also definitions that exist in the public phsyci  Wikipedia should try address both of these
