Because "sail around the world and claim what you want" is fucking great if you're playing Monopoly. Less great to sort out world affairs in a modern world.
But if the islands were empty before? Like there's islands who have thousands of years of history of people living there. But then there's also those who just doesn't. Are they supposed to stay empty? All humans always bad, or something?
There weren't empty at the time of the British invasion.
There was an Argentinian settlement with a governor and a military garrison.
The British suck but not literally everything they do is an invasion. And there were other Europeans there when they first arrived, not Argentinians.
Both Spain and France and UK each have stronger claims than Argentina.
There weren't "people" in the New World, so colonizing it was totally cool /s
