    Not a great moment in UK/USA relations. The fact that our main ally treated a military dictatorship that had attacked us as an equal negotiating partner annoyed many people, thank God Reagan came to his senses!

      It wasn’t that simple. While Britain was right, Thatcher threatened to drop a nuke on Buenos Aires in back channel diplomacy talks. This puts the US in a bad position as the entire American continent is protected by US nuclear umbrella.

      @@gerimorell I've never heard that rumour, I think it most unlikely since the MoD even vetoed a plan to take out the Super Etendards and their pilots by an SAS attack on their mainland base. One of the reasons for the Vulcan attack was to demonstrate that we had the ability to hit the mainland but would not use it unless needed,

      @@johnallen7807 not a rumor, there are several books and reports about it, including a recent one in which someone close to the French president says that. The American position was not an easy one. We were lucky the fighting did not escalate and other latin American countries did not support Argentina. Google it, if i remember correctly she wanted the codes of French misiles the Argentinians had

      @@gerimorell The "codes" were information on the French made Exocet of which they had five and on which French technicians worked throughout the war. They were lucky we didn't nuke Paris never mind Bueno Aires! We also got a lot of support from Chile, indeed it was fear of them that made the junta keep many of their best troops on that border rather than in the Falklands.

    The Falkland Islanders did not want to be Argentinian and that is why Thatcher sent the taskforce to reclaim the Islands. She was right not to compromise...and why should she as Argentina was the aggresor not Great Britain.

      @James Henderson If that was the the case then why did Argentina decide to invade the islands? That would make no sense at all. And the article states that nothing would happen against the will of the Falkland Islanders...and they wanted to remain a British colony.

China had made it clear it wanted it back or are you suggesting we should have tried to keep something that no longer belonged to us. The best we could do was to get the Chinese to agree to some basic standards which they have reneged on. If you require any further history lesson's pls let me know!

      23.- Budhaaparsad Limbu was born in the village of Sakhewa in the eastern hills of Nepal on 25 October 1958.
      He enlisted as a recruit into the Brigade of Gurkhas in 1976, and was sworn in as a Rifleman in the Seventh Duke of Edinburgh's Own Gurkha Rifles on 16 August 1977. His higher than normal educational record meant that he was destined for a career in the Signal Platoon where he made steady progress achieving his Standard Class II Regimental Signallers qualification, and promotion to Lance Corporal.
      On the 24 June 1982 Lance Corporal Limbu was ordered, along with members of his adopted Rifle Company (D Company) to fill in the Argentine trenches surrounding Pradera del Ganso (Goose Green). Whilst removing earth from a forward parapit his spade struck what was believed to be an unexploded British grenade. The resultant explosion killed him instantly.
      He was the only fatality suffered by the Regiment during the war, and his South Atlantic Medal was issued to his father: 21146803 WO1 Deoman Limbu, ex 1/7 Gurkha Rifles. His grave number is C61A.

      Name: Mr Eoin Selfridge - From: Dunfermline
      I was based at RAF Leuchars at the time of the war and was kept busy moving kit and troops south. My older brother was with Patrol Company 3 Para and as I was getting married at the time he was unable to attend (he only had to say he did not want to come!). We were one of the lucky families as he made it home. However 10 days later at West on Green he was killed in a Para Jump.
      We were unable to talk to him about what happened while away, all I do know is he and his team worked a lot by themselves and he was awarded MID for this work and I still to this day feel that award was for them all (but we all know how the system works).
      When we got his P / effects back we found slips for films to be printed but were unable to find what shop they were taken to.
      In 83 I was sent to the Falklands, while there I got the chance to go to Mtn Longdon to see for myself what these guys had to do. My tour helped me to explain to Mum & Dad the lay of the land.
      I was hoping if anyone knew my Brother Capt Matt Selfridge 3 Para and if they have any photos that they would not mind sharing. I am hoping find photos of him to do a family tree for my Father as I have photos of him in Kenya and Malaya and of myself in the Gulf 91
      If anyone can help I would be grateful.

    "Compromising" on the Falklands? It's a chain of islands with a small population of very English people. It's either democratic, with ties to the UK, or a dictatorship, ruled over by an authoritarian regime in Argentina. Either Kissinger and those who agreed with at the time are stupid, almost beyond belief, or they tilt toward dictatorships.
    Anyone familiar with the diplomatic mindset, here and abroad, knows that the answer to that stupid v. dictatorship question is probably "both." Just a few years later our State Department did its best to kill Reagan's "tear down this wall" remarks.

      Argentina didn't even exist when we first set foot on the Falklands, just because it's close to the mainland doesn't mean it's yours. You tried to take it and failed miserably, even the islanders don't want to be under your flag so give it up it's pathetic. 🇬🇧
