Authors Falklands War 1982 The Fall of Britannia By David Atwell Introduction The War for the Falkland Islands will inevitably go down in history as one of the events of infamy. Regardless of what Argentina said at the time, or what has been said since 1982, Argentina nevertheless attacked, without warning or provocation, the British territory of the Falkland Islands. Furthermore, in another historical circumstance, the War would also see then end of the phrase Britannia Rules The Waves. The audacious Argentine air attack, on 10 th May 1982, would ensure the end of the Royal Navy as a force in global affairs. And coinciding with the British defeat, the Conservative Government of Margaret Thatcher would, likewise, be defeated in the British general elections two months later in July. Treaty of Utrecht, saw Spain awarded ownership of the Islands, but then in 1764, in defiance of the Treaty, the French established a settlement at Port Louis, thus making a claim to the Islands. Then the Spanish established their own colony at

Extractions: Language of Material : spa The origins of the Falklands War, April-June 1982 lie in a 150 year dispute over the sovereignty of East and West Falkland, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands in the southern Atlantic. The Falklands were the most important of these and the only permanently settled islands - they were known by the Argentineans as the Malvinas. Originally discovered by the Spanish, the British had subsequently obtained and settled them, holding them despite Argentinean counter-claims. The immediate cause of the war, though, was the unauthorized presence of Argentineans, (contracted by scrap dealer C.S. Davidoff) on South Georgia. An attempt by the British in March 1982 to expel the party by force led to an excalation of hostilities, resulting in the landing of Argentinean troops on the Falkland Islands on 2nd April, the surrender of the Royal Marines on the same day, and the annexation of South Georgia on the 3rd. On 7th April the British sent a task force to recapture the islands. A series of diplomatic mediations proved unsuccessful, and on 25th April Royal Marines recaptured South Georgia. British forces landed on San Carlos, at East Falkland, on 21st May, after a period of bombardment, and the loss of ships and aircraft on both sides. The British took Goose Green and Darwin on 28th May, Teal Inlet on 30th and Mount Kent soon afterwards. Mount Tumbledown fell on 12th June and Argentinean forces, led by Gral Menendez, surrendered at Port Stanley on 14th June.

Falklands war Royal Signals in the Falklands War The war came as a surprise when, on 2nd/3rd April 1982, Argentine forces attacked and occupied British colonies on the Falkland Island and South Georgia. Altogether 600 officers and men of the Royal Signals subsequently took part in the conflict which became known as OPERATION CORPORATE. The Task Force set out from Portsmouth on 5th April 1982. The first Royal Signals involvement was with the SAS detachments that were inserted to obtain information about the enemy. One brave effort by Sergeant JG Mather, who was awarded the Military Medal, became the subject of one of the Corps paintings, CONTACT WAIT OUT, by Peter Archer. 30 Signal Regiment put up a Communications Centre at the staging post on Ascension Island and Royal Signals detachments provided Rear Link communications from most fighting units. By 1st June 1982, 5 Infantry Brigade HQ and Signal Squadron had landed at St Carlos using mainly CLANSMAN radios. 30 Signal Regiment, with detachments from 1 and 19 Infantry Brigade Signal Squadrons, formed a unit to support the Land Forces HQ. 50 Signallers ran 15 nets on HMS FEARLESS which was the Main Force HQ. 30 Signal Regiment also provided satellite communications back to UK and secure telegraph for two Brigades.

Extractions: Articles MRS. THATCHER'S WAR A REVIEW OF SHRAPNEL GAMES' THE FALKLANDS WAR: 1982 by Jim Werbaneth The Falklands War was one that one side bet would never happen. The generals who ran Argentina were losing whatever support they had been able to beat out of their country, a situation aggravated by a stumbling economy. Giving up power was hardly an option the junta , so it played the nationalism card, specifically las Islas Malvinas , known to most of the rest of the world as the Falklands. Two nations had a claim to the islands. Argentina's was by right of discovery, which was by Spain but inherited by Argentina. Great Britain's was by right of occupation; the Falklands were a British possession, long inhabited by British population, albeit a small one. Under international law, both claims were valid. In practice, that of the United Kingdom was the stronger one, under the time-honored principle that possession is nine-tenths of the law. Britain had possession, secured by a small force of Royal Marines. President General Leopoldo Galtieri and his associates were emboldened by some of Britain's own policies. One was to reduce Falkland Islanders' level of citizenship to a level closer to that of Hong Kong's inhabitants. The other was a cost-savings move, the withdrawal of the Royal Navy's only vessel in South Atlantic waters, the ice survey ship

Next The Eighties Club Material Things Index Table of Contents 33. The Falklands War In 1982 two nations went to war over the ownership of an archipelago 300 miles from the southernmost tip of South America and the United States was caught in the middle. The Falklands two main islands and 200 islets with a total land area the size of Connecticut had been claimed for Britain in 1594 by Sir Richard Hawkins, and named in 1690 for the First Lord of the Admiralty. But the Spanish insisted that the 1492 Papal Line of Demarcation gave the islands to them, and when Argentina declared its independence from Spain in 1816 it claimed sovereignty over the islands, which Argentines called Las Malvinas. In 1833 the British colonized the uninhabited islands the Royal Falklands Island Company transplanted Cheviot and Southdown sheep as well as Irish, Scottish and Welsh descendants of the 1,800 Falklanders who lived on the islands in 1982. For a century and a half Argentina protested. When the three-man military junta led by Leopoldo Galtieri launched a surprise attack on the islands, overpowering a small garrison of Royal Marines, the British public clamored for action, with a clear majority favoring the recapture of the Falklands by force. The U.S. government disappointed the British by initially attempting to remain neutral. Though aware of Argentina's poor human rights record, there were some in the Reagan administration, most prominently UN Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick, who viewed the anticommunist Argentine government as a potential ally in the struggle to resist the spread of Marxism in Latin America. London did not fail to note that Kirkpatrick was guest of honor at a dinner held by Argentine's ambassador to Washington on the very day that 2,500 Argentine troops stormed Port Stanley on East Falkland Island. While the European Common Market's ten nations banned Argentine imports in a show of support for Britain, the tepid U.S. response threatened the stability of the NATO alliance.

Extractions: News and Events Information Centre 20 years after flying Harriers in the Falklands War, the UK Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Peter Squire has just concluded a visit to Argentina. Sir Peter met with his Argentinean counterpart, General Walter Barbero. 20 years ago, they were on opposite sides of the conflict. Sir Peter was a Harrier pilot commanding the RAF's No 1 Squadron, whilst General Barbero was flying Boeing 707 reconnaissance planes that "spied" on the British fleet. The meeting of the two chiefs is the first time they have met although they both flew on opposite sides in the Falklands War. The former opponents are now very much colleagues and part of the aim of the visit to Argentina was to build further, the relationship between the two countries. Talking about the possibility that he may have been in a position to have shot General Barbero down, Sir Peter Squire said: "It would not have been personal. We had great respect for our opposite numbers in the Argentinean Air Force. We thought they flew with great courage and skill".

Extractions: Suez After Suez From Devaluation to the Winter of Discontent Notes dissertation 2003 ... Notes dissertation 2002 Students are invited to study Britain's responses to its changing role in the world from the Suez crisis of 1956, when Britain suffered a resounding humiliation and learnt that it could not "go it alone" without the United States, to the Falklands war of 1982, when Britain learnt that with a little bit of help from its friends in the United States and the United Nations it could still, quite successfully, use its far from negligible military force in defence of its own interests. The Suez crisis of 1956 has been seen as the defining moment when Britain was forced to face up to its diminished role in world affairs. That did not stop Britain from continuing to play a substantial role overseas in territories for which it still had some responsibility, from Malaya to Cyprus, and from Kuwait to Borneo, to mention just a few of the many troublespots in which Britain became involved, not entirely unsuccessfully. However as the 1960s progressed, Britain's financial situation deteriorated to such an extent that it was forced to review its defence commitments and ultimately put an end to its military presence "East of Suez". By the early 1980s the suggestion that Britain might once again become involved in an "out of area" conflict (i.e. one which was not located within the priority defence area covered by the NATO treaty) appeared vaguely incongruous, at least to the general public.

Click here THE FALKLANDS WAR REMEMBERED The Sinking of the Shiny Sheff On the twentieth anniversary of the Falklands War, David Gross looks back at the fate of HMS Sheffield, the first naval ship lost by the Royal Navy since World War Two. Just before Christmas 1981 an Argentine businessman by the name of Constantino Sergio Davidoff visited an abandoned whaling station on the remote island of South Georgia, under contract to remove any scrap metal he could find. He landed without the proper permits from the British government, who (like the Falkland Islands, another British colony in the region) administered the place. The British authorities cried foul. Davidoff sent a crew of workmen to the island anyway, and within weeks the incident had escalated into an international incident. The British government dispatched a warship, HMS Endurance, and the Argentineans, determined to press their claim for The Malvinas (Their name for the Falklands), ordered their own warship, the Bahia Buen Succeso to the area.

The British began military operations on May 1, and on June 13 the Argentines surrendered. The Argentine armed forces suffered a dismal defeat, with only the air force performing with any degree of competency. The military was fully discredited, and had no choice after the war but to announce plans for a return to democracy the following year. However, such analysis is risky, for it ignores key problems in the international system representing a rift between the developed and developing worlds.
