	Falklands War - ninemsn Encarta
		Falklands War, Anglo-Argentine conflict in the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) in 1982.
		The Falklands War had its roots in an 18th-century Anglo-Spanish dispute over the ownership of the Falkland Islands, followed by a subsequent attempt by Argentina to settle them to establish rights to the former possessions of Spain.
		The population was under 2,000 and slowly declining, as was the local economy which depended on the export of wool, and was dominated by the Falkland Islands Company (FIC).

	Falklands Penguins
		The Rockhopper Penguin is noisy, quarrelsome and the smallest penguin breeding in the Falklands.
		The Falkland Islands are one of the most important breeding sites in the world and, given the problems faced by this species in Chile and Argentina, the survival of healthy Falklands populations may be disproportionately important to the health of the species generally.
		The Falklands are however at the northern limit of its breeding range with a population in the region of 100 pairs.

	The Falkland Islands War
		The Falkland Islands are a group of islands in the south Atlantic.
		The government of the Falkland Islands administers the British dependent territories of South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands, and the Shag and Clerke rocks, lying from 700 to 2,000 miles (1,100 to 3,200 km) to the east and southeast of the Falklands.
		Consequently the Falklands, a distant and relatively unimportant group of islands were not in their focus despite their gaining independence from Spain.

		Surrounded by the restless churning of the South Atlantic Ocean, pounding waves and billowing spray sculpt the shores of the Falkland Islands with an artistic flourish.
		This is nature's kingdom, where the husky cry of the sea lion, the quizzical gaze of the penguin and the unfamiliar companionship of the striated caracara are a reminder of who is in charge.
		The Falkland Islands are situated about 350 miles (487 kilometres) east of the South American mainland, between Latitude 51° and 53°S and Longitude 57° and 62° W, about the same latitude south as London lies north.

	The Falklands War (1982) / La Guerra de Las Malvinas (1982)
		The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) are a group of islands in the south Atlantic.
		The total population of the islands was estimated at 2100 (in 1991) and 2967 in July 2003.
		Due to the mounting pressures on the government, and mass union demonstrations in late March, the date of the invasion is moved earlier to April 2nd in an act of desperation.

	The Falklands Crisis - A Socialist Answer
		The Junta's claim to the Falklands is purely an imperialist claim for loot in the shape of resources which can be developed, although even this is secondary to their aim of heading off revolution by diverting workers along nationalist lines.
		Its reaction to the seizure of the Falklands is dictated by considerations of prestige, and also by the wealth of Antarctica and the oil and fish around the Islands themselves.
		The Falklands are the gateway to Antarctica, and South Georgia is the entrance to the Southern Polar Continent.

		Falklands councillor Mike Summers brushed off the threat of an invasion, but confirmed the widely held view that the islands were locked in an unequal economic conflict with their larger neighbour.
		Although no one in Whitehall is suggesting that Argentina is preparing a new invasion, officials are keen to head off anything that would damage their efforts at reconciliation in the run-up to the 25th anniversary of the conflict next year.

	Argentine Airpower in the Falklands War: An Operational View (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The act of sending a military force to occupy the Falkland Islands on 2 April 1982 was apparently a spur-of-the-moment decision taken by Argentina’s ruling military junta.
		Poor weather around the Falklands on 2 May forced the cancellation of all air activity, but on 4 May one of the Neptune reconnaissance planes identified what it believed to be the British carrier HMS Hermes east of Port Stanley.
		General Galtieri demonstrated a remarkable lack of understanding of modern military operations by insisting that the Falklands would be defended by a large land force, largely composed of half-trained conscripts, with few heavy weapons, cut off from sea supply and completely dependent upon a tenuous airlift capability.
