    The war is always a kind of wild one to me, given that Argentina hadn’t had a presence there in about 150 years but still wanted to take it back despite it being relatively inconsequential. It’s not like they were in there liberating anyone of Argentine descent; their people were long gone.

      They had the islands for either two or four years, and the British never explicitly abandoned them, just left them uninhabited.
