This is how border disputes and land ownership have always been decided throughout history.
The UK were the rightful owners of land and they gave it to create a few different countries. People that previously lived on that land (whether it was for a day or a thousand years) had no legitimate claim of ownership.
Merely living on land does not make it yours and the number of years you have lived on it doesn't change this.

Ok, based on that theory the US owned Europe after WW2. Give it back. The US owns Iraq. The US owns Afganistan. The US owns Italy. The US owns a hell of a lot of property and you all need to give it back right now.
