Admiral Graf Spee defeated the British at the Coronel Islands north west of South America.

This was a British armed cruiser force and a naval force from Plymouth was dispatched to deal with the Germans under Sturdee. On Dec 8 the German squadron ran into Sturdee near the Falklands. Spee left hurriedly but Sturdee sank 4 of his 5 ships, the 5th blew herself up when caught by two British cruisers
