The Falklands War was fought in 1982 between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands 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. War was never declared by either side.
The initial invasion was considered by Argentina as reoccupation of its own territory, and by Britain as an invasion of a British dependency.

It ended in a British victory in 1982, with the surrender of the Argentineans,at Port Stanley, and by the way the Falkland Islands are a British Dependency.

For some entities in Argentina, the Falklands War has never ended. They are still intent on reoccupying "Las Islas Malvinas" as they call them.

It started in June of 1982... it ended with a British victory.....would have been surprising too see had the argentinians had more exorcet missles and if they would have deployed their navy better! .... in my opinion they started the war too early ....they should have waited untill france finished supplying them with new missles and ships!
