The Falklands War (Guerra de las Malvinas/Guerra del Atlántico Sur), also called the Falklands Conflict/Crisis, was fought in 1982 between Argentina and the United Kingdom (UK) over the disputed Falkland Island, South Georgias and the South Sandwich islands. The Falkland Islands consist of two large and many small islands in the South Atlantic Ocean east of Argentina; their name and sovereignty over themhave long been disputed. The conflict was initiated without any warning by Argentina on April 2 of 1982 by the De-Facto president Galtieri. The invasion was led by Benjamin Menendez.
