There weren't empty at the time of the British invasion.

There was an Argentinian settlement with a governor and a military garrison.

No garrison.

Buenos Aires attempted to gain influence over the settlement by installing a garrison in October 1832, which mutinied within a month

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.
