The Falklands War: 2nd April to 20th June 1982

This took place 40 years ago so rather interesting given that I have noted that WW2 took place 80 years ago and the American Civil War (ACW) took place 160 years ago. So double the time, then double again.

Or perhaps as I noted WW2 first (80 years) then the ACW (160 years) and finally the Falklands War (40 years) ago, that might be time, times and half a time…..Mmm…..very interesting.

Anyway, I am here to look at the Falklands and the war against Argentina who invaded the islands.

I had thought I might do some general background on the islands and the history but others have done things and for the time being I don’t see the point. This Wikipedia link gives useful information if you need it.

As with other battles/wars I have covered so far, I will do my usual play…
