@@fabiospasiano9885 Except wars are not football games and are not determined by a tallied score 🤦♂️ and you tell me to think before I type lol The Argentines had two major advantages in that they were already in much closer proximity to the islands (making it far easier to project power effectively), and in that they were the defending side by the time British forces arrived. As any idiot should know, it is generally much harder to take a fortified position than it is to defend it and typically results in the attacking side sustaining heavier casualties. Now imagine Argentina trying to invade the Falklands now that they are more adequately defended. Somehow I don't think that would turn out very well for them.

The thing is that the British had already entered into negotiations with Argentina to sell the islands. But since the Argentine junta was unpopular, they thought that taking the island by force would distract the people from their social issues. Since the British had been willing to part with the islands, the Argentines didn't think they'd respond, underestimating how humiliating it would have been for the British to back down. Thatcher couldn't have avoided war, even if she wanted to.

This was a textbook example of how to fight a modern war against a peer adversary. What the Brits pulled off was incredible by any definition. It was not the British who were unprepared, it was the Argentinians. Even with no existing contingency plan for such an operation, the British due to their professionalism, training, and experience were able to quickly assemble a large force and send it halfway around the world to fight an enemy that was operating just off its own coast. The British task-force, including two carriers as well as escorting destroyers and frigates, not to mention the transport and amphibious craft, was used aggressively but not recklessly. They took losses at sea but that was all but inevitable. Naval gunfire proved extremely valuable during the landings, despite the risks associated with operating so close to shore. Same goes for the air war. Harriers flying at the very limits of their range were able to hold off much more capable fighters. The Black Buck raids, while of questionable material impact, were unprecedented in terms of logistics and were the longest ever bombing raids up to that time. The Argentinian effort by comparison, was simply half-assed for lack of a better term. They managed to land successfully against a severely outnumbered force. These initial Argentine troops were well trained marines and commandos but the troops that followed to reinforce them were conscripts. By all rights, the Argies should have been able to maintain air superiority. But the Harriers shot down enough Argentine jets that when combined with the psychological impact of Black Buck they just retreated when they could have come out on top had they pressed on. Same for the naval battle, the Brits lost more ships but the Argentine Navy lost its nerve. After the Belgrano went down, it was basically a non-factor, which is pretty insane given that the Argentine fleet included a carrier of its own plus a couple destroyers of the same class the Royal Navy employed. Had it not been sunk, the Belgrano could have caused serious problems for the troops on the ground and the rest of the Argentine Navy and air force could have put up a credible fight against the British invasion fleet. Once it came down to the ground campaign, it was all over for Argentina. The British had and still have arguably the best light infantry in the world. Overall, though Britain was obviously no longer a superpower, it was still among the most militarily capable countries in the world. Not by any means a spent force. Bottom line, if you're going to invade foreign territory, be prepared to fight for it. If it's not worth taking risks over, it's not worth it for you to invade in the first place. You know, who dares wins...

If it wasn't for that war not only would we have continued weakening and lost not only the Falklands but likely ALL our overseas territories we'd have effectively become completely at the rest of the world's mercy militarily, so thank God for the haste and stupidity of the Argentine Military Junta, you in effect and completely inadvertantly, saved Britain!

Britain discovered the island and colonized it in the 1600s, and it was entirely uninhabited at that point. No Spaniards, no Argentinians, nobody at all. Because of that fact, the Falklands aren’t even a colony. They are just as much a part of the U.K. as Scotland or Northern Ireland. They are 100% British.

“...descendants of the British, who expelled Argentina from the islands 150 years ago.” A fundamental error of history by the contemporary American reporter: The Falklands have never been Argentinian.

Yes they been, Since 1823 up to 1833. When Argentina become independent, this islands were Spanish and were given to Argentina at the treaty of end of the war. Even in 1829 "Puerto Luis" was founded in the island. 4 years before the English invasion.

Britain lost its empire, and that was no bad thing, but it is good to have an American acknowledge the totally soulless self-interest of the United States, to rape the utmost profits from a war fought to preserve the democracy Americans like to lecture the rest of the world about, and in the process remorselessly to impoverish a friend.

It's our default position. Even though we try very hard for peace. The day I knew we were going into kuwait was the day Saddam Hussein put British child hostages on TV. That was the point the UK/US meeting changed from, 'Now hold on a minute Yanks, let's think this through', to 'We' re going in with or without you, you coming? '
