But Argentina too had claims on it. In 1982 the military government of the country occupied it to divert attention from the mess it had created at home.

Britain reacted immediately. PM Margaret Thatcher send British forces to free the islands.

The war did not last long. The Argentine army was no match to the powerful British flotilla.

The Argentine army surrendered.
