Which two countries dispute ownership of the Falkland Islands?
The Falklands Conflict was fought between Argentina and the United Kingdom during the Spring of 1982, in the South Atlantic. The battle started after Argentina invaded the islands with their Army. The British responded by sending a Naval Task Force, including 2 small aircraft carriers HMS Hermes, and HMS Invincible and approximately 40 other warships to the area. The Task Force had to sail 8,000 miles from England to the Islands. Ultimately the UK retook the Falklands after a lot of very intense air-to-air combat between the Argentine Air Force and the Harrier Jets from the Royal Navy and RAF. There was also intense bombardment and attacks on Royal Navy ships by the Argentinian airforce which caused a lot of damage to the warships, and sank a number of them. In the end the UK prevailed and retook the Islands. The UK refers to the group of islands as the Falkland Islands, and Argentina calls them the Malvina Islands as the islands are located about 200 miles off the coast of Argentina. Mark
