Falklands War

Product Information

The Malvinas cause united the Argentines in a patriotic atmosphere that protected the junta from critics, and even opponents of the military government supported Galtieri; Ernesto Sabato said: The islanders had full British citizenship restored in 1983; their quality of life improved through investments made by the UK after the war and by economic liberalisation that had been stalled for fear of angering Argentina. In 1985, a new constitution was enacted, promoting self-government which has continued to devolve power to the islanders. Welch, David A. (2011). Painful Choices: A Theory of Foreign Policy Change.

In 2011 there were 113 uncleared minefields plus unexploded ordnance (UXOs) covering an area of 13km 2 (3,200 acres) on the Falkland Islands. Of this area, 5.5km 2 (1,400 acres) on the Murrell Peninsula were classified as being "suspected minefields"—the area had been heavily pastured for 25 years without incident. It was estimated that these minefields had 20,000 anti-personnel mines and 5,000 anti-tank mines.Koppel, Ted (13 April 1982). U.S. and the Falklands (PDF) (TV News Report).
