Malvinas War

The Falklands War was a conflict in 1982 between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands, a remote South Atlantic archipelago. Argentina claimed the islands as its own, while the UK considered them British territory. When Argentine forces invaded the islands, Britain responded with a military operation to reclaim them. The war lasted about two months, resulting in British victory and the reaffirmation of their control. It highlighted issues of sovereignty, national pride, and Cold War tensions, impacting both nations' politics and international relations.
