Argentina's dispute with Britain over the Falkland Islands goes back centuries, but the 1982 invasion of the islands by Argentina's Junta was largely motivated by a desire to stir up patriotic sentiment to distract from domestic unrest. What would it have taken to prevent the Junta making this...

Hello, this is my first post as Fer...!, sorry if it's not the place where I can introduce myself, I just couldn't find it. This is a story I wrote with some friends several years ago - despite some improvementes through the years , well...I actually wrote it with 2 more friends, and it was...

In 1770, Britain and Spain had a diplomatic standoff over their respective claims of sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. Spain attempted to drag France into the dispute, and it seemed like war would break out. But French king Louis XV refused to let things escalate, and Spain was forced to...

Westminster, 31st March 1982 Pausing only to make a quick phone call to get an update on the disposition and readiness of his fleet and having found the defence secretary not in his office in the Ministry of Defence but at an emergency meeting to discuss the emergent situation the fully...

He somehow stayed alive. Either by escaping Bolivia or never going there in the first place. What is his role in the 1982 Falkland Islands War? I found this interesting to think about given his Argentinian birth and career in guerilla warfare.

It is finally time for me to start my not-so-long-teased new TL (which I teased a lot more in the Our Fair Country Discord server, and is actually just a reboot of an earler TL I did)! Presenting, Patagonia 2.0! This will function similarly to many excellent TLs such as Our Fair Country, A...

They were up to 50% in some polls up until the falklands and I wonder that if the falklands or if the military junta was overthrown right before it planned to invade would there have been an SDP/Liberal government? Who would have become the PM, Roy Jenkins or David Steel?

How can Argentina win the Falklands War?

So, is there any way for the Falklands/Malvinas islands to be partitioned between Britain and Argentina, avoiding the Falklands War? Perhaps with Argentina getting the western island while Britain keeps the eastern one and the Sandwich islands?

One of the biggest issues the Royal Navy and the British government had to contend with was the rapidly approaching winter, as attempting to invade during the middle of winter would be far harder than invading when they did which meant thing had to happen very quickly So my question is - what if...

So then, what if Villanueva's plan to invade and conquer the Falklands/Malvinas had been approved by the Argentinian Naval War School and the Argentinian government, and the Argentinians had commenced their operation to invade and occupy the archipelago within the next couple of months, shortly...

As We all know, the 6 month British-Argentinian War for the then named Falkland islands was great for the UK after they sunk the Argentinian navy and pass the blockade around the islands. But after they landed the invaders soldiers fought tenaciously against the British and even after six months...

As we know, the Melvinas war was won by Argentina. How would history be different if the UK won?

Would it be possible to get a South American theater in WWI? Could, for example, Argentina join the Central Powers in order to take the Falkland Islands and then for some reason have Chile join the Entente? Any other ideas are welcome.

What if Jim Callaghan won the UK election and defeated Thatcher, either by calling a 1978 election or winning in 1979? What would be the effects? How would the UK economy have been effected? Would Thatcherism still be put in lace at some point(though probably under a different name) or would Uk...
