In 1982 there was a military conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom, this conflict was called the Falklands War or the Falklands Crisis/Conflict. The Falklands War took place on the Falkland Islands, who is two large and many small islands in the South Atlantic Ocean east of Argentina. The Falkland Islands was a part of the UK before the war. Argentina wanted the islands to be a part of Argentina instead so in 1982 they occupied the islands.
After Argentina occupied the islands, the UK sent air supported- fleet and infantry troops to the islands. The UK troop’s arrival led to many fights in the start. When they got to the capitol, Stanley, the Argentineans capitulated.
According to Wikipedia, It resulted in the deaths of 255 British and 649 Argentine soldiers, sailors, and airmen, and the deaths of three civilian Falkland Islanders. The war did not solve any of the problems. There was and are still disagreements about the status of the islands. The war had political consequences in both of the countries. In Argentina it led to the junta’s fall. In the UK the war led to the conservative party’s election victory in 1983.
