Falklands War

1982 CE · military

The Falklands War is the armed conflict that arose in 1982 between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the sovereignty of the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands in the South Atlantic.

Following Argentina's landing of troops on the islands, Britain undertook a military intervention by sending a naval force to the region. The fighting, which lasted several weeks, ended with Britain's recapture of the islands. The war left significant effects on the domestic politics of both countries; the dispute over the status of the islands, however, persisted.
