Today, I learned this:
"Although it wasn't public knowledge until 2012, Chile played a large, covert role in the Falklands Conflict. Without the early warnings provided to the British by the Chilean air force's radar network and the use of coastal air bases for refueling, the smaller British RAF would be far outmatched by the outdated but much larger Argentinian air force. It was estimated by the RAF that if they lost even a single carrier in the conflict, they would have lost the islands unless they were willing to land an invasion on the mainland which would have escalated the conflict into a full-blown war and severely damaged international relations."
Let's say that Chile doesn't cooperate, and Argentina successfully captures the Islas Malvinas, resulting in an escalation of the conflict. What happens next?
