The military government in Buenos Aires assessed the situation correctly. Despite their knocking out of several British warships, they could not hold the islands unless the British Navy was defeated. Although neither side gained true air superiority in this war, the Falklands (or Malvinas as the Argentines called them) could not be reinforced and the British could not be repulsed. Argentina threw in the towel and ceded the islands back to Great Britain.
