I went to ARGENTINA 1960 with the RAF to give air displays with 2 VULCANS and had a great time 2 months with the Argy airforce those tango clubs were something else!
Thank you for such well narrated and assertive documentaries.
As for Galtieri, is completely new for me.
Oh the Malvinas Islands....
That was really interesting to hear about Argentina's history and of course the Falklands War. I remember seeing on the TV the task force setting out and of course all the news that was transmitted about the war. Many thanks for uploading.
Talk about a plan backfiring spectacularly. Sad that young Argentinian and British soldiers had to die for the sake of his ego.
Who's ego again?
@@mikefay5698 Leopold, the king of Congo!
Great video. Im British and during the Falklands War I was 7 years old. I had a very simplist idea of the war. I saw it as Argentina trying to steal something that didn't belong to them. I remember asking my mum every morning 'have we got our Islands back yet?!'. Now I'm just glad there is peace and people aren't being killed.
Digamos que los que robaron Malvinas fueron los británicos en 1833 cuando las tomaron por la fuerza, arriaron la bandera Argentina y expulsaron a toda la población y Gobernador Argentino de Puerto Soledad. Es solo una aclaración, Si comparto que las guerras no sirven y solucionan nada, nadie gana en ellas, todos pierden. Saludos.

@@martinjenkins6467 Bastardos ? Quienes ? Quien sos para tratar así a la gente de otro país ? Quien te crees que sos ? Argentina porque intentó recuperar Malvinas, o Gran Bretaña que se la usurpó y las invadió por la fuerza en 1833. Quien es el que mantiene colonias a esta altura ? Aparte si tenías 14 años consumiste la historia del lado pirata, yo en ese tiempo era Soldado argentino (Comando de Artllería 121 ) y si bien no fui a Malvinas si lo han hecho muchos amigos y algunos familiares, y luchaban por Argentina, no por Galtieri. Tratá de pensar las cosas antes de opinar tan abiertamente.

Awesome vide bro! Thank you!!!
I briefly flirted with the thought of moving to Argentina in the late 1980s. I had a French tutor from Rio de la Plata who told me that with my blonde hair and blue eyes, I could basically write my own ticket. I had no idea that the culture was so bigoted, but as a hungry college student the concept of quick and easy success sounded appealing. I eventually decided that due to the fact that I struggled with foreign languages and knew no Spanish it wasn't for me, but wonder where I'd be if I had gone for it.
You never know ...where you might have been.
Argentina es un pais que ha recibido millones de inmigrantes durante toda su historia y hoy sigue siendo el pais mas receptor en toda Sudamérica. Es un pais con nada de racismo y xenofobia y todos los informes internacionales lo califican como el mejor destino para estudiar carreras terciarias o especializarse en Latinoamérica. Sus Universidades están llenas de estudiantes extranjeros y de intercambio de todo el mundo, muchos de Gran Bretaña también Aparte Argentina tiene la particularidad de ser uno de los pocos paises de Latinoamérica que tiene educación y salud gratis y universal, en sus Universidades Publicas, al igual que en sus hospitales estudian y se atienden a todos por igual sin pagar ningún arancel, sean argentinos o extranjeros.
Nice and warm!
@@oscarbosio9881 Exactamente!
Que Argentina es un país sin racismo y xenofobia suena como un buen chiste.
Very informative documentary. Galtieri reminded me at the time of Field-marshal Wilhelm Keitel - a competent solider within his limits, placed in a role to which his intellect and principles were completely unsuited. Was he the worst of Argentina's leaders - hard to say from the other side of the world, but I'd have thought Videla, who oversaw the torture and murders of the dirty-war period, was by far the worst. None emerge with much credit.
As stated in the vídeo, Argentina was ill-preapered for the War..
In spite of that, the timetable for the Invasion was anticipated .
If the Air Force and the Navy had purchased a wider supply of Exocets and learned to opperate them properly, the British task force might have been decimated.
However, the British air-carriers were never in a dangerous situation -- without air support, the task force would become a sitting duck.
Harrier Jets were not the best suited for being a mainline aircraft due to their high fuel consumption but they were used perfectly in their ground attack role
You must remind yourself that none of the Argentinian military chiefs had ever fought in a war....... Or certainly a war where the opposing side had a long history of defending itself or , indeed, other nations with a succesful history of military conquest. What the murderous Argentinian forces were expert at was the 'disappearing' of the political opponents of their Neo fascist govts.......shooting kidnapped students and disposing of their bodies...
Well said sir.
@@jazzhands7771 An old chinese saying:
When the wise Man points to the Moon, the Idiot stares at the Finger !
Well done, thank you. I really enjoyed part of Argentina’s history.
They lost. Bigly!!!!
Really informative and interesting documentary, so thank you for the upload. I see a paradigm, if you are struggling politically as a leader go to war. This, of course, completely backfired, as it should have. As mentioned in the narrative, the islands had little to offer economically or geographically for either country. The islanders, however, deemed themselves British. How history repeats itself!
The taskforce freed both the Falklands and Argentina.
No a Argentina la liberó su pueblo. La resistencia de Argentina a las Dictaduras es considerada la mas fuerte en Sudamérica y costó de muchas vidas de ambos bandos. Antes de Malvinas hubo grandes manifestaciones pidiendo que se vayan todos, brutalmente reprimidas, y esta resistencia siguió durante y post Malvinas. Lógico que consumado el conflicto muchas fuerzas se enfocaron en ese conflicto ya que estaban en juego las vida de argentinos en el mismo y si bien nadie estaba de acuerdo con una guerra , había que apoyar a los que luchaban ene se lugar. Su continuidad en el cargo era cuestión de tiempo, posiblemente el final de la guerra lo aceleró, pero no daba para mas, sea cual fuera el resultado de Malvinas. Aparte si hay algo que no le importaba a la ex Primera Ministra Británica eran las Dictaduras y lo que hacían con sus pueblos, a pesar que en su discurso ante las Camaras dijo que ella no dialogaba y negociaba con Dictadores y solo lo hacía con Gobiernos Democráticos,su princiopal aliado en Sudamérica fue el Gral Pinochet, uno de los principales Dictadores genocidas de la región, a quien no dudó en salir a defenderlo cuando fue detenido en Londres por crímenes de lesa humanidad. Una hipocresía total.

Informative documentary although it became a bit repetitive towards the end. You should do one on Perón, also.
I didn’t live too far from where he grew up. Thanks for a detailed , informative and excellent presentation. However, being a supporter of the Union Cívica Radical (UCR) it isn’t and never was a radical left organisation. Rather, a party defending workers rights, wages and conditions similar to the British Labour Party. Thank you again and great work
Thank you. Many would say the British Labour party is radical and far left.
@@PeopleProfiles well I disagree. I would argue that non labours has moved too far to the right
@@PeopleProfiles Would "many" say that? Is that why the Labour Party keeps kicking out anyone with fresh voices and perspectives who challenge any Establishment action and policy? Kind of laughable...

@@josephwharton2559 what?
Nicely done, I enjoyed the entire hour. As a North American (EE.UU), the support for Galtieri and Pinochet by the conservative leaders of the US in the 1980s has always bothered me greatly, and nothing would bring greater happiness to me than to see Henry Kissinger, just about the last surviving political figure from that time who is still alive, bundled up and dropped off in Buenos Aires or Santiago to face justice for his actions in his very significant support for those undemocratic, murderous, and fascist regimes that directly resulted in the murders of additional thousands. Well, I can dream, can't I?
Democracy is a messy (see our own 6 January) but a necessary condition.
lmao
Galtieri went to the US Army's school of the americas in Panama 🇵🇦 in 1949 where he took his army engineering course. Part of the infamous pattern of Latin American dictators who graduated from the school of the americas and trained by US Military
He called Judas the US government. There is a theory that American officials gave green light to invade those island. I wonder why
este film documental marca correctamente no solo la historia, sino tambien el drama de la Argentina con algunos detalles no muy claros, pero realizado con seriedad. Algo poco frecuente.Galtieri simboliza en cierta medida el arquetipo de los militares argentinos del siglo pasado y las grandes contradicciones no resueltas de la sociedad argentina.
Una cosa digno de mención en respecto de la economía de Argentina durante esa época es la manipulación, la avaricia, la criminalidad abominable del parte de este IMF y World Bank.

“The flag of Argentina is raised here. For all the respect I have for the English people, Great Britain should understand that history has gone by, that centuries have passed, the world has evolved and certain things from the past cannot return.”
Leopoldo Galtieri
That aged well…
well the brits rocked up and kicked the shit out of you.
In a sense, Galtieri was right.
Affer WW II the UK ceased to be a World Power.
As the Suez Crisis, arising from the joint French/British Invasion of Egypt, clearly demonstrated.
Unfortunately for Galtieri, a war can't be waged with ill-preapered Armed Forces.
In fact, even the Sheffield was sank by an Exocet improperly set up.
The missile didn't explode and the vessel was set on fire by the Exocet's engine.
Had a they learned to use, to set up the Exocets properly, the Micro-War might have been totally different.
@@albertseabra9226 *Superpower. Britain never stopped being a world power.
I Love the UK.
However, after the Suez Affair fiasco it became clear that the UK was no longer a World Power.
How stupid the Junta were thinking that Britain wouldn't Protect what is the most Valuable Anchorage between the 2 Capes. Never mind that the Falkland's are a Strategic Essential for Refuelling and Repair should the Panama & Suez Canals have been Closed for any reason in the Cold War and that is before we knew about the Vast Mineral Resources around the Falklands and South Sandwich Islands. Nowadays they are far more Valuable!!
It's amazing to me how often mediocrity can succeed to positions of power ; perhaps not to prosper for long, but the incidence alone is pause for thought.
Yes, crap happens, even in the USA! E.g., Donald J. Trump. But in the USA crap can stay for a very long, long, long time!😂😈
So what actually made the difference of over 30 years of the economy with Presidents and Junta, with a max inflation of the economy? What brought it down?
Ahhh,so THIS is the Galtiere that Roger Waters sings of on The Final Cut! Always wondered how he took the Union Jack.
And Maggie, over lunch one day, took a cruiser with all hands, apparently to make him give it back...
A group of Latin American meat packing glitterati.
Maggie and Galtieri retired to the Fletcher Memorial Home.

Thatcher will always be one of my heroes of history. There hasn't been a woman with more iron will to advance Conservatism since. The Euro-Skeptic views that helped lead to her ousting from power still came to fruition with the success of Brexit as a referendum. Galtieri made a grave mistake thinking his largely conscripted army could compete with a seasoned, professional army like Britain's.
I’m surprised this channel hasn’t done a biography on Margaret Thatcher.
Can you do the life of Sandy Woodward
PM Thatcher right away declared that
"Britain has no intention of waging an unwinnable war in the South Atlantic."
That is Britain wouldn't fight if She's not Certain of Victory.
A Callaghan would have licked Galtieri's boots
in abject capitulation.
In 1977 Buenos Aires made noises about taking the Falklands. James Callaghan sent a nuclear sub, HMS Dreadnought, two frigates and two support vessels to the South Atlantic. He quietly let Buenos Aires know HMS Dreadnought, a boat capable of wiping Buenos Aires off the face of the earth, was there. No invasion took place.
Labour never stand up for Britain.
If it was up to those scumbags you
Would be using the euro not the
Pound.
@@johnjackson8783 that submarine could only attack shipping doh!
I'm sad for the people of Argentina. They should be wealthy and happy, but corruption and incompetent political leaders doomed them.
A good summary. Important things I think are missing: 1 Argentina's ramping up social/media efforts over preceding years to portray the UK as enemies due to the "malvinas" being held illegally and therefore very popular support for its invasion (still popular btw) and 2 the expected British (zero) reaction due to the Junta's talks with foreign sec's suggesting UK not interested in the islands and ties via Reagan-omics and the UK/US/Arg similar stance against trade unions (Thatcher did not throw leftists out of aircraft but probably would have liked to!).
Apart from nationalist nutters most Argentinians see we did them a favour by bringing in much-needed democracy. While the UK got more of Thatcher.
I visited the Falkland Islands in January of 2023. They are SO BRITISH. Even the penguins acted British? Anyways I used to live in Argentina and I don’t understand their obsession with these islands. The people who live there obviously identify as British and want nothing to do with Argentina. They call the war “the invasion”. 😂
The distance between UK and those islands though. On the other side of the planet... literally. Besides, kelpers use the word "Camp" (for Spanish word "campo") instead "countryside". Im surprised you didn't notice the way they speak
Logico, es su vision. En Argentina se llama "recuperación" ya que nadie invade algo que es suyo. Si consideramos invasión a la que hicieron ellos en 1833 cuando tomaron por la fuerza Malvinas expulsando a toda la población y Gobernador Argentino de Puerto Soledad. La población se identifica como británica ya que fueron implantados desde Gran Bretaña a partir de 1847 y son ciudadanos de ese pais, y se beneficiaron y los siguen haciendo con el accionar colonial.
The British occupation of The Falklands violates The Monroe Doctrine
@@abelsietecuatro9249 Proximity is irrelevant. Otherwise Alaska should belong to Canada. Hawaii should be Mexican, St Helena should be Angolan and the Canary Islands should belong to Morocco
Very interesting
Galleri gambled high, all in one hand. And lost it all. Soldiers are not meant to rule an country.
Re the Falkland a conflict. The irony of a nation of mainly colonialist descent supporting the attacking of peaceful islanders.

Just curious why the photo shop of Gen Galtieri in uniform. There are plenty of photos of him in uniform on th einternet.
Not a criticism just an inquiry. Does it deal with copyright infringement?
It's the trade mark of this channel. All the people featured have an artist's picture. It means consistency of image regardless of the dates the person was alive. So Henry VIII would be dealt with the the same way as someone for whom many photos are available, e.g. The Queen.

To the victors go the spoils. Hail brittania!
Reagan's support for Britain wasn't as clear cut as it is perceived here. In a soundbite from the aftermath of Argentina invading the Falklands, he said:
"(...) it's a very difficult situation for the United States because we're friends with both of the countries engaged in this dispute."
Even as the war progressed, Reagan was advised to urge Thatcher to not humiliate Argentina on the battlefield by defeating it outright, instead to accept a diplomatic compromise. The Prime Minister however, wasn't having it. To her, it didn't matter so much that their two nations strategic interests diverged, after all, part of the advice Reagan was given was over fears that it would lead to a resurgence of support for the Left in Latin America. A transcript from her call with the President featured her refuting the President directly:
"I have to take them now. I didn't lose some of my best ships and some of my finest lives, to leave quietly after a ceasefire without the Argentines withdrawing. This is democracy and our islands and the very worst thing for democracy is if we failed now!"
Galtieri is the most inept soldier the world has ever seen and I don´t see how he can be bettered.
He’s gotta be doing something rt. Was it mainly his loyalty to peron?
I remember a news article at the time discussing the response of the British people to the conflict. In particular, someone had modified an arcade game so that it was British forces fighting Argentine forces. Apparently it was fairly popular. I suppose that the general process, those in power distract the populace with some threat, and opportunists are always quick to seize an opportunity. It happened on both sides here, as is the usual practice. I have no suggestion for a better way to run a country, but it seems there should be one.
Interesting
The B-roll is severely lacking here. You talk about Britain's huge task force, but you use a random unrelated stock shot of a boat somewhere. You had access to dramatic shots of aircraft carriers and destroyers leaving Portsmouth, plus hundreds of hours of free footage from news cameras and you used almost none of it. I don't get it man.
It's an appalling video, very badly done, in a very lazy manner.
I consider this channel a podcast, it's good for listening but the video is mostly just random stock footage
Generals, in spite of Napoleon Bonaparte and roman examples, not the best heads you would expect to a modern state.
Argentina did not declare war on Britain. The war was fought but not 'declared'.
A good documentary. But, one that completely missed out the pervasive influence of EVA Peron (known in popular history as Evita), first wife of Juan Peron, and the fact that they weren't quite as successful as the documentary mentions, otherwise they wouldn't have been kicked out first time round. Furthermore, the 'golden couple' were just as capable of brutal repression as the rest of them.
Incidentally, people seem unaware of the fact that the Falkland Islands are not physically close to Argentina in the way that many disputed territories are. At 480 kilometres distance, they are THREE times further away than, say, the north coast of Tunisia (Africa) is from Sicily (Europe) in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
If the Argentinians had a claim on the Falklands, then so did Britain on Sardinia (which is closer).
Its crazy to think with all the European migrants to Argentina and Venezuela of how high the European ancestor is in the population.

Speak properly, kid.
History is going to put General Galtieri in his place, the place of Prócer. A true patriot who knew how to defend Argentine sovereignty. The feat of the Malvinas apart from giving heroes, affirmed Argentine sovereignty rights after 150 years of British usurpation.
Get real. You guys go on a warmongering path whenever you guys have economic unstability. I speak as American outsider from this conflict.
Galtieri's hamfisted action has ensured that there is no foreseeable prospect of sovereignty over the Falklands ever being ceded to Argentina now that British blood has been spilt there: it would be seen as much a betrayal of their memory as of the people who live there. There is a saying "Softly, softly, catchee monkey" which the Junta would have been wise to have observed.
Yeah, much like Putin is "affirming Russian sovereignty" in Ukraine... You nazis are all the same...

It's to try and make up for the absolutely shite video.
Always interesting to see the left wing version of history.
Not sure how'd you got to "left wing version" in a document praising Thatcher, but this is how things went, like it or not.
Galtieti is my hero.He had the balls to go against a superpower with nuclear bombs.And if a airforce would have sank 2 more ships Argentina would have won the battle.Those defective exocet missles were a bad peoblem.And the sinking of the Ara BelgrAno was a crime.
Keep dreaming
They were a long way off winning the battle in fact there is a book called the first casualty of war which goes into the Argentinian invasion which covers up the the argentinian losses against the small garrison of royal marines stationed there.Galtieri thought Britain would not respond.
You lost. Bigly. If you want a rematch I'm happy to participate
Rubbish. The sinking was necessary. An enemy ship at sea is a threat. If the Argentine flag ship was not to see action then she should have been at port. Instead it was at sea during wartime and would have definitely played a part at some point. And Maggie had bigger balls than your dictator ever had. It don't take balls to send young untrained Men to their deaths. The Falklands have never been occupied by Argentinian people. So the citizens of the Falklands should be able to choose what they want. Independent rule, remain under British control or be enslaved by Argentina.
The real bravery is how we were miles away from home, fighting against a country who were in their own domain. But despite the mistakes we made, it was at Goose Green when Argentina knew they couldn't win against such elite brave soldiers as the British. Even God sees how mighty Britain is, that's why he made us so small. Imagine if we were as big as the other leading power's.
Suck it up, he lost.
Glory and honor to the Argentine armed forces, which in the process from 1976 to 1983 participated in two wars, the irregular counterrevolutionary anti-subversive war and the Malvinas feat, a regular war, for Argentine sovereignty.
And a "feat" it was... 😂
The "irregular counterrevolutionary anti-subversive war". Yes, because there is soooo much glory in disappearing people into dark torture cellars. Your armed forces are a rabble of soldateska not fit to lick the boots of any actual soldier.
