So what happens to them and how are Anglo-Argentine relations affected?
I think that there is a huge impact on UK politics in 1982. The tories are going to be in deep trouble.
On the other hand does this allow the dictatorship in Argentina to carry on - or would they have started some other international adventure with comparable consequences
I honestly never figured out why the Argentines are so obsessed about those Islands other than a matter of pride.
Err...the Falkland Islands were first claimed by Britain in 1748 and this led to the Falklands Crisis between Britain and Spain in 1770, which nearly turned into a world war and also had a knockon effect on Anglo-Russian relations, therefore Russo-Prussian relations, therefore Prusso-Dutch relations...
The butterflies from this could easily avert or completely change the American Revolution, never mind anything after that. TTL probably has no Argentina, never mind a Tory government ruling Britain in 1982!
sounds really interestingThe butterflies from this could easily avert or completely change the American Revolution, never mind anything after that.
