History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Falklands War to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
The Falklands War was fought over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands to the British, or Islas Malvinas to the Argentines. The conflict started when the Argentina junta, led by Leopoldo Galtieri, sent military forces to invade the islands on April 2, 1982. The undeclared war took Britain by surprise, forcing the government, headed by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, to respond with a task force commissioned to retake what was rightfully theirs. British forces successfully defeated the Argentine invaders leading them to their surrender and defeat. The absolute control and administration over the islands were restored to the United Kingdom. The war stretched on for 74-days.
