WHY BRITAIN STILL FIGHTS FOR THE FALKLANDS: The Hidden History, Argentina's Claim, the 1982 War, and the Battle Over Who Really Owns the Islands - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Why does Britain still defend a group of remote islands thousands of miles from its shores? And why has Argentina never abandoned its claim to them?
The Falklands are small, isolated, and far removed from Britain's mainland. Yet they became the center of one of the most remarkable territorial conflicts of the modern era.
In 1982, Argentina invaded the islands, triggering a ten-week war with Britain that involved naval forces, aircraft, ground troops, and thousands of military personnel. Britain eventually retook the islands—but the victory did not end the dispute.
Why Britain Still Fights for the Falklands goes beyond the battles of 1982 to uncover the much longer story behind the conflict.
From the earliest competing claims and British settlement to Argentina's attempts to establish an administration, the controversial story of Antonio Rivero, decades of diplomatic negotiations, and the political miscalculations that eventually led to invasion, this book follows the chain of events that transformed a remote group of islands into a matter of national pride.
Inside, you will discover:
Why Britain and Argentina call the islands by different names
How the competing British and Argentine claims developed
The role of Louis Vernet and the early Argentine presence
Why Antonio Rivero became a powerful symbol in Argentina
How Britain established a permanent population and administration
Why decolonization created a new opportunity for Argentina
The diplomatic proposals that might have prevented the 1982 war
How Britain's defense cuts were interpreted in Buenos Aires
Why Argentina believed Britain would not fight
What happened when Argentine forces invaded in April 1982
How Britain assembled the forces needed to retake the islands
Why the British victory transformed the political importance of the Falklands
Why Argentina's military defeat never ended its territorial claim
How the Malvinas became embedded in Argentine maps, politics and national identity
This is not simply the story of a ten-week war.
It is the story of how history, nationalism, diplomacy, military strategy and political calculation turned a distant territorial disagreement into an international conflict—and why the arguments that produced the war have never completely disappeared.
The war ended in 1982. The question of who owns the islands did not.
