	The Falklands War: A Moral Balance Sheet
		The Falklands war was remarkable for the adherence of both parties to the laws of war and to general just war understandings.
		In relation to the Falkland War it may be claimed that Britain was guilty of 'a certain degree' of provocation in its dealings with Argentina in the period leading up to the outbreak of war and that this factor detracts from its claim of just cause.
		Britain had a just cause for war (response to aggression) but its moral position was compromised by the extent to which it unwittingly drew Argentina towards the initiation of conflict and by the inevitable disproportion between the value of the interests being defended and the cost of that defence.

	RealClearPolitics - Articles - A Second Falklands?
		When Argentina invaded the Falklands Islands in April 1982 and ignited the Falklands War with Great Britain, many commentators saw the conflict as something of a quaint historical anomaly, a "throwback" campaign reminiscent of 19th century "petty scrapes" imperial Britain engaged in when the sun never set on its globe-circling empire.
		The Falklands War serves as a historical sketch of a dangerous gambit.
		With the battle cry, "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" (the Falklands are Argentine, Malvinas being the Argentine name for the islands), the junta launched an "anti-imperialist" international confrontation.

		Kitson returned to Britain after the re-taking of the Falklands but well before the return of the troops and an exhibition of her many drawings was organised at great speed in November 1982 in order to capitalise on public interest in the war.

	Falklands War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Falklands War (Spanish: Guerra de las Malvinas) was fought in 1982 between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands (also known in Spanish as the Islas Malvinas) and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
		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.

	Background to the Falklands War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On April 5, 1764, France established a settlement on East Falkland and claimed the islands, which the Spanish offered to buy as they were concerned about disrupting the balance of power in the region.
		Between 1976 and 1983—under military rule—in the middle of the "Dirty War", supposedly waged against communism, thousands of people, most of them dissidents and innocent civilians unconnected with terrorism, were arrested and then vanished without trace.
		Critics of the invasion by Argentina claim that the Junta sought to use the patriotism of war to quell unrest in the working classes, hoping that whilst engulfed in a patriotic fervour, the Argentines would forget about the crisis, and the crimes of their military.
