Falklands War
Falklands War (April–June 1982) Military conflict between Great Britain and Argentina on the issue of sovereignty over the
Falkland Islands. On April 2, after the breakdown of negotiations, Argentine forces invaded and occupied the Falklands, South Georgia, and South Sandwich Islands, which had been administered and occupied by Great Britain since the 19th century. Despite attempts by the UN to negotiate a settlement, the Argentine government refused to withdraw. The British established a blockade of the islands and staged an amphibious landing at Port San Carlos. They surrounded the Argentine troops at the capital, Port Stanley, and forced them to surrender (June 14). The war cost 254 British and 750 Argentine lives. Although Britain resumed administration of the islands, the basic issue of sovereignty remains unresolved. Britain's victory helped secure a second term for Margaret
Thatcher.
