Technology Falklands War Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: Falkland Islands War Home Library Miscellaneous Britannica Concise Encyclopedia (1982) Brief but undeclared war between Argentina and Great Britain over control of the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) and associated island dependencies. Both countries long had claimed sovereignty over the Falklands and had been in protracted negotiations over them. On April 2, 1982, Argentina's military government, impatient with the negotiations, occupied the islands with some 10,000 troops. British prime minister Margaret Thatcher responded by sending a naval task force to the region, and within three months British forces had defeated the Argentines and reoccupied the islands. Britain lost about 250 men, and Argentina about 700. Argentina's defeat discredited its military government and helped lead to the restoration of civilian rule in 1983.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS Part 7 - The 1982 War and Beyond Argentina Invades the Falkland Islands On 26 March General Galtieri, head of the military junta in Argentina, decided to invade the Falkland Islands. It later transpired that concerns about a possible invasion had been raised by British intelligence for many weeks beforehand. The British Antarctic Survey research ship 'John Biscoe', travelling from Montevideo to Stanley with the replacement Marine garrison, was constantly buzzed by low-flying Argentine planes. There was an increase in Argentine overflights of Stanley. At 8.30pm on 1 April the Governor Sir Rex Hunt announced to Islanders over the radio that an Argentine invasion was imminent, following receipt by Government House at 3.30pm of a telegram to that effect from the British Foreign Office which read "We have apparently reliable evidence that an Argentine task force will gather off Cape Pembroke tomorrow morning, 2 April. You will wish to make your dispositions accordingly." 80 Royal Marines and 20 volunteers from the Falkland Islands Defence Force were mobilised and deployed to various defensive positions, and Argentines in Stanley were rounded up and interned. After receiving intelligence that the invasion had begun, Governor Hunt famously said, "It looks as though the silly buggers mean it." Early in the morning on 2 April 1982 Rear Admiral Jorge Allara, commander of the Argentine flagship Santisima Trinidad, appealed for a peaceful surrender, but the request is rejected, as small detachments from the Argentine forces begin landing near Stanley. The invaders' first act is to destroy the barracks of the Royal Marines at Moody Brook, 2 miles west of Stanley.
