CE 1982 - The Falklands War occurs.

In 1982, a brief but intense conflict between the United Kingdom and Argentina, known as the Falklands War, occurred.

The war was fought over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean.

In April 1982, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, sparking the war.

The United Kingdom responded by establishing a naval blockade around the islands, and sending a task force of naval and air forces to regain control.

Over the course of the next two months, the British forces successfully defeated the Argentinian forces in a series of battles.

On June 14th, 1982, the Argentinian forces surrendered and the Falkland Islands were returned to British control.

Over 900 people were killed in the conflict, including 255 British and 649 Argentinian servicemen.
