Hi All,
40 years ago today, the Falkands war began. The Falkands are as big as Delaware, but with a much smaller population, of British heritage. In 1982, the Argentine invaded the islands in the (still held) deluded belief that they somehow belong to them, even though Argentine didn't exist when the Falkands were annexed to the Crown. The invasion wasn't taken lightly by the British and a taskforce was sent to re-take the island, which was successful , albeit at the cost of 649 Argentine, 255 British and 3 Islander lives.
