A United Kingdom in economic and military crisis reaffirms that the Falkland Islands are theirs
How the years have passed!, as the song says. In 1982, an Argentine Military Junta questioned internally invaded the Falklands as a distraction maneuver, the United Kingdom responded with all its military power, and the victory in the war – with the consequent nationalist euphoria – saved the skin of a Margaret Thatcher whose administration had not taken off and seemed about to be ousted. She remained in power until 1990, carried out her neoliberal revolution, and the rest is history.
