Bear in mind this Argentina (and Uruguay also included) was basically taken over by Britain during Napoleonic War and it ended up becoming part of the British Empire afterwards. I am not looking for answers on how it be realistic for it to happen.
Basically instead of a Falklands War in 1982, instead in this case a war between a British Argentina vs Chile (which was under Pinochet's regime at the time) being mainly fought over control of Patagonia.
How would this hypothetical war turn out? Surely this alternate Argentina will be helped out by the Commonwealth of Nations especially Britain. But it will take a while for assistance to arrive for Argentina so I would see this war being only fought by Argentina within the first week.
Also could this result in a bigger war in South America? In this hypothetical war we would see Brazil still under the military junta in 1982, and surely plenty of other Latin American countries were still dictatorships. So would it result in some Latin American countries sending aid to Chile and if so which specific South American country? And then the question is what South American dictatorships be willing to support a British Argentina (which is a parliamentary democracy in this war so I will have there being no Peron coming to power in this alternate Argentina) in this war against Chile?
And lastly could a war between Pinochet's Chile and a British Argentina over Patagonia spark World War III as well?
(Remember we are not talking about how possible Britain would be able to take over Argentina or colonize it. We are talking about a 1982 war between Chile and British Argentina)
