What happened at the Falkland War?
1. Military dictatorship in Argentina decided to distract domestic attention from a crumbling economy by invading the nearby islands, 2. Britain sent a task force to the south Atlantic which quickly and easily routed the Argentinian forces. 3. Military ruler in Argentina resigned in disgrace. p.s. ignore the people saying that Britain “stole” the islands from Argentina. The Falkland Islands have existed as an entity for longer than Argentina so that is not possible. They were previously owned by Spain who gave them to Britain as part of a war settlement. The people are English-speaking and have a deep loathing for Argentina. Argentina has no more right to the Falklands than China has to Tibet.
