Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands">South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands</a>. The conflict began on 2 April 1982, when <a href="/wiki/1982_invasion_of_the_Falkland_Islands" title="1982 invasion of the Falkland Islands">Argentina invaded</a> and <a href="/wiki/Occupation_of_the_Falkland_Islands" title="Occupation of the Falkland Islands">occupied the Falkland Islands</a>, followed by the <a href="/wiki/Invasion_of_South_Georgia" title="Invasion of South Georgia">invasion of South Georgia</a> the next day. On 5 April, the British government dispatched a <a href="/wiki/British_naval_forces_in_the_Falklands_War" class="mw-redirect" title="British naval forces in the Falklands War">naval task force</a> to engage the <a href="/wiki/Argentine_Navy" title="Argentine Navy">Argentine Navy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Argentine_Air_Force" title="Argentine Air Force">Air Force</a> before making an <a href="/wiki/Amphibious_warfare" title="Amphibious warfare">amphibious assault</a> on the islands. The conflict lasted 74 days and ended with an Argentine <a href="/wiki/Argentinian_surrender_in_the_Falklands_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Argentinian surrender in the Falklands War">surrender</a> on 14 June, returning the islands to British control. In total, 649 Argentine military personnel, 255 British military personnel, and three <a href="/wiki/Falkland_Islanders" title="Falkland Islanders">Falkland Islanders</a> were killed during the hostilities. </p><p>The conflict was a major episode in the <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Falkland_Islands" title="History of the Falkland Islands">protracted dispute</a> over the territories' <a href="/wiki/Sovereignty" title="Sovereignty">sovereignty</a>. Argentina asserted (and maintains) that the islands are Argentine territory,<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the Argentine government thus described its military action as the reclamation of its own territory. The British government regarded the action as an invasion of a territory that had been a <a href="/wiki/Crown_colony" title="Crown colony">Crown colony</a> since 1841. Falkland Islanders, who have inhabited the islands since the early 19th century, are predominantly descendants of British settlers, and strongly <a href="/wiki/2013_Falkland_Islands_sovereignty_referendum" title="2013 Falkland Islands sovereignty referendum">favour British sovereignty</a>. Neither state officially <a href="/wiki/Declaration_of_war" title="Declaration of war">declared war</a>, although both governments declared the islands a war zone. </p><p>The conflict had a strong effect in both countries and has been the subject of various <a href="/wiki/Cultural_impact_of_the_Falklands_War" title="Cultural impact of the Falklands War">books, articles, films, and songs</a>. Patriotic sentiment ran high in Argentina, but the unfavourable outcome prompted large protests against the <a href="/wiki/National_Reorganization_Process" title="National Reorganization Process">ruling military government</a>, hastening its downfall and the <a href="/wiki/1983_Argentine_general_election" title="1983 Argentine general election">democratisation of the country</a>.

The UK <a href="/wiki/Foreign,_Commonwealth_and_Development_Office" title="Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office">Foreign and Commonwealth Office</a> (FCO) regarded the islands as a nuisance and barrier to UK trade in South America. Therefore, while confident of British sovereignty, the FCO was prepared to cede the islands to Argentina. When news of a proposed transfer broke in 1968, elements sympathetic with the plight of the islanders were able to organise an effective <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">parliamentary</a> lobby to frustrate the FCO plans. Negotiations continued, but in general failed to make meaningful progress; the islanders steadfastly refused to consider Argentine sovereignty on one side, whilst Argentina would not compromise over sovereignty on the other.<sup id="cite_ref-Welch_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Welch-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The FCO then sought to make the islands dependent on Argentina, hoping this would make the islanders more amenable to Argentine sovereignty.

The landing craft should have been able to unload the ships to that point relatively quickly, but confusion over the ordered disembarkation point (the first half of the Guards going direct to Bluff Cove) resulted in the senior Welsh Guards infantry officer aboard insisting that his troops should be ferried the far longer distance directly to Port Fitzroy/Bluff Cove. The alternative was for the infantrymen to march via the recently repaired Bluff Cove bridge (destroyed by retreating Argentine <a href="/wiki/Combat_engineering" class="mw-redirect" title="Combat engineering">combat engineers</a>) to their destination, a journey of around seven miles (11 km).<sup id="cite_ref-161" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-161"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>156<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>There are conflicting accounts of the causes for the delay in disembarking the Welsh Guards contingent. One narrative posits that on <i>Sir Galahad</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s stern ramp there was an argument about what to do. The officers on board were told that they could not sail to Bluff Cove in daylight. They were told that they had to get their men off ship and onto the beach as soon as possible as the ships were vulnerable to enemy aircraft. It would take 20 minutes to transport the men to shore using the LCU and Mexeflote. They would then have the choice of walking the seven miles to Bluff Cove or wait until dark to sail there. The officers on board said that they would remain on board until dark and then sail. They refused to take their men off the ship. They possibly doubted that the bridge had been repaired due to the presence on board <i>Sir Galahad</i> of the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Engineer" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Engineer">Royal Engineer</a> Troop whose job it was to repair the bridge. The Welsh Guards were keen to rejoin the rest of their Battalion, who were potentially facing the enemy without their support. They had also not seen any enemy aircraft since landing at <a href="/wiki/San_Carlos,_Falkland_Islands" title="San Carlos, Falkland Islands">San Carlos</a> and may have been overconfident in the air defences. Royal Marines Major <a href="/wiki/Ewen_Southby-Tailyour" title="Ewen Southby-Tailyour">Ewen Southby-Tailyour</a> gave a direct order for the men to leave the ship and go to the beach; the order was ignored.<sup id="cite_ref-SouthbyTailyour1990_162-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SouthbyTailyour1990-162"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>157<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>However, a contemporary Royal Navy report, partially declassified in 2024, throws into question the validity of this account.

Menéndez ordered the publication of a newspaper for the troops on the Falkland Islands called <i>Gaceta Argentina</i>. It stated that one of the Mirages lost on 1 May had collided with a Sea Harrier and the Argentine pilot survived. In fact Argentine AAA at Stanley shot down the Mirage when it tried an emergency landing there. It was a blatant lie for all those Argentine servicemen who had seen the Mirage being shot down by Argentine guns and had removed the dead pilot from the crashed aeroplane. Similarly, the junta's press office in Buenos Aires informed that Lieutenant Antonio Jukic, who actually was killed in his Pucará on the ground at Goose Green, had perished in a gallant, single-handed Pucará attack on HMS <i>Hermes</i>, setting it on fire. This statement was illustrated with dramatic sketches. The men at Goose Green knew that Lieutenant Jukic had died on the ground there.<br /> <i>Gaceta Argentina</i> summed up the British losses up to 25 May as: 5 warship sunk (correct number 3), 3 transport ships including SS <i>Canberra</i> (1; <i>Atlantic Conveyor</i>), 14 Sea Harriers (2 shot down & 3 accidents) and many ships damaged, including HMS <i>Hermes</i>. <i>Gaceta Argentina</i> even wrote: 'All of these details refer only to proven claims and not to estimated or unproven claims ...'."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-281"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-281">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFWelch1993" class="citation book cs1">Welch, David A.
