Topic: Argentine naval forces in the Falklands War


  
  Falklands War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The war was triggered by the occupation of South Georgia by Argentine forces on 19 March 1982 followed by the occupation of the Falklands, and ended with Argentine surrender on 14 June 1982.
The war has played an important role in the culture of both countries, and has been the subject of several books, movies, and songs, although due to the low number of casualties on both sides it is not seen as a truly major event of either military or 20th century history.
Argentine intelligence officers had been working with the CIA to help fund the Contras in Nicaragua, and the Argentine government believed it might be rewarded for this activity by non-interference on the part of the U.S. if it invaded the Falklands.
