The Falklands War

In 1982, two nations found themselves on the brink of war over a group of small, remote islands in the South Atlantic. The Falklands—isolated, wind-swept, and seemingly insignificant—became the center of a fierce conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom.

Over the next 74 days, soldiers from both sides would battle across land, sea, and sky, while the world watched from afar. It was a war fueled by politics, nationalism, and a sense of history, but its human cost was far greater than many anticipated.

This is the story of the Falklands War—how it started, how it was fought, and how it changed the course of both nations forever.
