The Falklands Wars
- 1-.The Malvinas War was a military conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom, which took place
in 1982. It is one of the most important wars for Argentina, since more than 600 soldiers died in it.
- 3.-This war began on April 2, 1982, when Argentine militias landed on the islands, and ended on June 14,
1982, when a truce was agreed between the two countries.
- 2.-The Malvinas War was originated by Argentina in its attempt to recover the territory that the United Kingdom had under its
power by strategic position. Argentina fought a war that lasted about 2 months and, despite its efforts, it was defeated.
- Causes The main causes of the Malvinas war are the following:
- After its independence, Argentina alleged and affirmed that the Malvinas Islands were part of its territory and that it had
the right to claim them as its own.
- In 1833 Great Britain obtained control over the islands and declared them colonies of the United Kingdom, a
decision that caused discontent in the Argentine government.
- In 1982 Argentina was under a military dictatorship, under the command of Galtieri, who thought that the Malvinas
war would be a way to make the government popular.
- The war was started by the Argentine dictator Leopoldo Galtieri, who wanted to seize the islands with the
justification that the Argentine territory should be indivisible and that the stay of a foreign nation, so close to the
country, was a danger to the sovereignty of the nation.

- Consequences The main consequences of the Malvinas war are the
following:
- Death of more than 600 Argentines, 1200 wounded and more than 250 British dead. As a political
consequence, diplomatic relations between Argentina and the United Kingdom were totally suspended until
1990. Even today there is no very friendly treatment between the two nations. The great economic and
political crisis within Argentina started the process of return to democracy. Due to its great military
superiority, the United Kingdom won the war and thus maintained control over the Falkland Islands.
