	The Falklands War (1982) / La Guerra de Las Malvinas (1982)
		The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) are a group of islands in the south Atlantic.
		War casualties in the 1982 conflict totalled 655 Argentine soldiers, and 236 British soldiers.
		From start to finish, this undeclared war lasted 72 days, claimed nearly 1000 casualties (236 British and 655 Argentine), many of them innocent conscripts that were drafted in a hurry by the Argentine junta.

	The Rise of Militant : The Falklands/Malvinas War
		In 1982 the Falklands War broke out, seemingly as a bolt from the blue which was to have a decisive effect on events in Britain.
		On an historical point: Lenin himself explained in 1921 that the slogan of "a civil war of revolutionary defeatism" was a slogan for the core of party activists to draw a clear line of distinction between traitors who had supported the war in 1914 and genuine Marxism.
		While they would be duty bound to oppose the war, pointing to the real aims of the Junta, at the same time once the war had begun the Argentine Marxists would have stood for the full mobilisation of the working class on a clear anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist programme.

	Reply to Luis Oviedo - Part Three - The Malvinas: Marxism and War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		For Socialist Appeal, the Malvinas are British and not a colonial occupied territory.
		The war was a reactionary, imperialist war on the part of Britain, and the duty of the British Marxists was therefore to oppose their own bourgeoisie.
		Unfortunately, at the time of the Malvinas war, many Argentine Marxists allowed themselves to be carried away by the prevailing mood in society – a mood of patriotic intoxication that was deliberately whipped up by the Junta for its own ends.

	Argentina Finally Recognizes Veterans of Falklands War - by Marcela Valente
		The number of Argentine soldiers who lost their lives during the conflict has now been almost matched by the number who have died since the end of the war, due to the physical and psychological damage that veterans have been forced to confront without adequate support from the government.
		Veterans of the war over the islands in Argentina first began to receive a monthly government pension of 400 pesos (equivalent to $400 at the time, but now the equivalent of just $134) in 1992, or ten years after the end of the conflict.
		Statistics from the Federation of Malvinas War Veterans point to 649 Argentine and 250 British casualties during the conflict.

	The Falklands/Malvinas War, Its Causes and Consequences, and Proposed Ideas for a Negotiated Settlement
		The Falkland islands or “islas Malvinas” in Spanish are indeed a group of about 420 islands of which 80 percent of the total surface of 6,200 square miles is composed by the two main islands, East Falkland (Isla Soledad) and West Falkland (Isla Gran Malvina).
		This is the root of the 1982 war: the overtaking by force of a legitimate established government which had been recognized by both England and the United States.
		The British have spent billions of dollars in the war, they have shed their blood to retain the islands, have made some major investments there and are spending hundreds of millions of dollars per year to defend and sustain them.

	Strategic Insights -- The Falklands War -- Causes and Lessons
		With the commonly held view of war as a coup de théâtre to increase domestic opinion of the military regime discredited, it is now necessary to analyze the decision-making of the junta in its conduct of the war.
		War was avoided with the decision to submit the case to the Vatican for papal mediation, the results of which were expected to be released with Chile again as the victor.
		That the British won the war, does not mean they had to, and that the Argentines chose poor strategic and tactical options[43] does not meant that the structural conditions for victory were not there.

	LaRouche on Malvinas, by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Apr. 18, 1996)
		The Malvinas, which the British occupiers named the "Falkland Islands," had been the lawful territory of Argentina at the time the U.S.A.'s Monroe Doctrine was adopted, and were implicitly the lawful claim of Argentina under sundry treaties still in force at the time of that nation's relevant 1982 actions.
		Argentina's occupation of the Malvinas was provoked by a medley of duplicity, by the British monarchy and complicit agents of that monarchy inside the government of the United States.
		To similar effect, the active support for the British 1982 war against Argentina, by the U.S.A., and others, was a step toward establishing the UNO as "The World Government," through a later concoction of the same, deplorable Mrs.

	Argentina Britain Falklands Malvinas War 1982
		Falkland Islands War, also called FALKLANDS WAR, MALVINAS WAR, or SOUTH ATLANTIC WAR a brief, undeclared war fought between Argentina and Great Britain in 1982 over the control of the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) and associated island dependencies.
		In response to the invasion, the British government under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher declared a war zone for 200 miles (320 km) around the Falklands and assembled a naval task force with which to retake the islands.
		On April 25, while the British task force was steaming 8,000 miles (13,000 km) to the war zone via Ascension Island, a smaller British force retook South Georgia island, in the process capturing one of Argentina's vintage diesel-electric submarines.

	Malvinas War Tests Leftists
		For Marxist revolutionaries, the united front of imperialism was the decisive issue in the war and meant that we stood for the defeat of Britain and the military defense of Argentine forces.
		The Malvinas Islands symbolically represent this relationship, which is why the Argentine people have always included the question in anti-imperialist outbreaks and rallied behind the military effort of a government that is so despised.
		The point of the war was not empty islands but the need for imperialism united to crush the oppressed and exploited peoples of the world.

		The Malvinas government sent the Royal Navy’s polar ship HMS Endurance with a group of Royal Marines to expel the argentine sailors and workers, using the force if that was necessary.
		In Britain, the recovering of the Malvinas was seen as a high beligerant act, and the military forces started the movements to possible attacks.

	Indymedia UK - Malvinas War veterans protest Argentina’s social crisis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The war constituted the last desperate act of a dying tyranny, an attempt by the brutal Videla dictatorship (1976-83) to divert growing opposition to its bloody policies by invoking nationalist sentiment against the 150-year British colonial rule over the Malvinas.
		The twentieth anniversary of the war took place in the context of unprecedented mistrust of public officials by employed and unemployed workers and middle class people in Argentina, as economic conditions continue to deteriorate.
		Instead, the events of April 2 and 3 served to underscore the deepening crisis of Argentine society, the desperate situation facing thousands of Malvinas War veterans and the political bankruptcy of Peronism and bourgeois nationalism in Argentina.

		Halcones de Malvinas is a collection of almost 90 personal vignettes written in Spanish by Argentinean veterans of the Falklands/Malvinas War of 1982 between Argentina and Great Britain.
		Incidentally, the title may have a double meaning: in a narrow sense, “falcons” refers to the nickname of the author’s fighter squadron, but one can also see that the word refers more broadly to the spirit of the FAA and the nation.
		Additionally, American readers should not be misled by the fact that during the entire war, Argentina flew only about 500 sorties—a slow day during Operations Desert Storm or Iraqi Freedom, let alone the 1,000-bomber raids of World War II.

	Argentine Airpower in the Falklands War: An Operational View (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The decisive battle that determined the fate of the islands was fought in the air.
		It is notable that the Argentine air units bore the brunt of the battle during the six-week war and inflicted serious damage and losses on United Kingdom (UK) forces, in contrast to the quite minor losses inflicted on those forces by the large Argentine ground force.
		He had to minimize the effect of Argentina’s liabilities: the technological inferiority of the Argentine air force and naval air arm, operations at his attack aircraft’s maximum combat range, the lack of adequate air-refueling capability, and the lack of early warning and reconnaissance assets.

	EconPapers: Reassessing the Fighting Performance of Conscript Soldiers during the Malvinas/Falklands War (1982)
		For any army, fighting effectiveness is not only influenced by the degree of psychological cohesion among soldiers and officers, but also by the organizational culture of each particular service unit towards the preparation for war and the waging of the conflict itself.
		In this war, two different types of armies confronted one another: the British army, a professional and all volunteer force, and the Argentine army constituted principally of conscripted soldiers.
		By focusing upon these units and their effectiveness, a rather new picture of the Malvinas War comes to light that differs quite substantially from those drawn in the immediate aftermath of the war itself.
