    as a chilean I'm very pleased Argentina lost that war.... the expansionist argentine junta wanted to attack Chile after they occupied the Falklands islands, asking Peru to join in, eventhough Chile wasn't in a condition to defend itself, mainly because of an arms embargo against my country.
    So I'm thankful to the British forces for stopping Argentine expansionist policies during de 70s and 80s and I'm glad my country helped a little bit with this british victory.
    Long live Chile and the UK. Saludos!

    When General Mario Menendez surrendered his forces, he went against
    established Argentine military doctrine. Surrender is only an option
    when casualties reach 50 percent and when expended ammunition reaches 75
    percent. Prior to the surrender, General Galtieri in Buenos Aires had a
    heated telephone exchange with Menendez, demanding the latter fight to
    the last man. By that time, Argentine military discipline and morale had
    already broken down. British forces captured over four million rounds
    of 7.62MM and 11,000 105MM rounds, 14 flyable helicopters among other
    hardware.

    Maybe if the Argentine soldiers had fought half as hard as the keyboard warriors in this comment section they might have won but they didn't they got their backside kicked off our islands and back to the mainland. They are also lucky it was a professional military that did it or a lot less of them would have ever got back home after the things they did during their very short occupation. Those islands are british territory mostly because that's what the islanders want and always will be and if any future Argentine government is stupid enough to try taking them again we will kick your backside again and hopefully next time finish the job.
    Not very likely though as your military is worse now then it was in 82 and the British military is greatly improved would be less of a conflict and more like an easy training exercise now. You had a go and you screwed it up live with it, get over it and let it go because you've got far bigger problems to solve in your country then trying to claim something that never was and never will be yours.

It WAS the British that took excessive casualties rather than fire into those civilian areas, because unlike the uncivilized Argentineans the British were unwilling too risk innocent civilian lives & as a result good honorable men paid the ultimate price! I have a feeling if those brave honorable soldiers had of been given the choice between sacrificing themselves or firing artillery into residential and/or civilian areas, the results would have been the same, because that's what TRUE honorable soldiers & REAL men do!

      @@davidbrown2571 The Americans & Russians would have failed. They only use heavy artillery and or aerial fire power. Without that they ain't up to much. I was taught by a Sgt Bob Parry who was a sniper in the Falklands. He said Why send a man when you can send a bomb or a bullet. Unfortunately the British did not have that amount of bullets and bombs to throw around. You look at the terrain of Mt.Longdon. Attacking at night. Incredible when you think about it.

Where they will vote, in a free and fair way that will be monitored by external observers, about the question of whether they want to be Argentinian or not. Has that been reported in your press ?

    Argentina's case is not strong at all in the REAL world of International Law.
    In 1947,1948 and 1955, the United Kingdom offered to submit the case over the Falkland Islands Dependencies to the International Court of Justice at The Hague, but Argentina refused the all offers.
    Why?
    Argentina calims do NOT stand up as HARD evidence.
    If they had such a strong case they would have gone to the court ANYTIME in the last 50 years and won?
    Argentina avoids REAL LAW at EVERY turn.

    Argentina does not have an easy story. It is a country built by immigrants mostly Hispanic and Italian. The legislative and personality are quite different from the conformation of the countries of the British orbit. This country was the design of contempt for the colonial monarchies (reverse of the countries you mentioned). As positive was achieved great individual freedom and a level of education that is free even university. In return we are quite fluctuating in decisions...

There was never a return of that trust and the Argentine military in a bad decision invaded the islands. The problem is that we were educated to believe that the islands were our sometime. We dont respect self determination because most can not understand because that education of blind patriotism. For myself I find it hard to discuss it with my peers.

    Well, the comments are a nice study in British nationalism. The former Empire now declares a population that 50 times fits into a London Stadium as a question of honor.
    What they do not tell you in the comments: 17 Years they negotiated with Argentina about giving back the Islands to Argentina, and they took away not only the First Class British citizenship, but also they planned to retire the last british ship to defend the Islands.
    There was a solution: Sale and lease back. But both weak governments needed a war, and a victory.
    Since 1982 Britain paid 2-digit billion pounds for a garrison on the Islands that totally destroyed the former social life on the Falklands.
