Margaret Thatcher's victory in the Falklands

- Margaret Thatcher is dead aged 87. Here we look at the event that arguably secured her a second term in power - the 1982 Falklands War. Retaking the Falkland Islands was the defining moment in Margaret Thatcher's premiership and is believed to have consolidated her nickname, "The Iron Lady". The war waged against the Argentine military also contributed to her winning a second election with a landslide majority in 1983, a year after the war began.
The war officially began in 1982 when Argentine forces invaded the British territories of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia in the South Atlantic. Recovering the islands would require a substantial military operation, so Mrs Thatcher dispatched a large naval task force from the UK. It was the biggest UK naval operation since the Second World War.
Nearly 30,000 people sailed south, including ships, two aircraft carriers, submarines, aircraft and ground troops. She said afterwards: "If anyone had told me at the beginning that we should send 27,000 men and over 100 ships, I wouldn't have believed it."
Throughout the 74-day conflict, Mrs Thatcher wore black, and constantly spoke of "our boys".
"Everyone was at risk," she said. "We were always worried about the vulnerability of the supply lines especially. When it was all over there was a tremendous sense of relief. A feeling that whatever problems I have to go through now, at least I won't have to go through that terrible period when every time the phone rings, every time the door opens, you worry."
The following January, Mrs Thatcher visited the Falklands, being greeted like a saint by the islanders. Report by Mark Morris.

In a 2013 referendum, like 99% of the residents in the Falklands voted to be under British rule, with only 3 voting to be under Argentine rule.
If the people want it that way, leave it that way. They're happy with the British, so let the British rule them.

@@datboyfefe obviusly
@@datboyfefe that is the point dumbass, Argentina has no business in the island, brits discovered it and have inhabited ever since
@@jcasma Brits didn't discover it, Spain did a 100 years before, and even before the british made it theirs, there were people before them, theres a list of people born in the island, before the british stole them in 1833. Before that year, it was Argentina's.
The British found the island in 1690 and it was uninhibited so we didn't "steal" it.
Who find it, keep it.
It's the singular rule necessary for human survival.
munir notsomuch, "See the flag mate it's ours, you want to take this outside? Come on then let's have a go"
Jamie Swanney you didnt steal it,you robbed it from the argentines.
Akin Khoo, Uh yeah the whole country was empty and we found it first.
the british found China and it was uninhibited too right?
At the time Britiain was considered finished and no one abroad thought we'd do anything. Argentina imagined they could keep the islands forever as Britain was considered weak, but they were proved wrong.
less than 72 hours after the invasion some 30 warships followed the 2 aircraft carriers out into the Atlantic to the surprise of the skeptical media critics - very impressive and a shocking development to the fools in Buenos Aires
I bet they had the shock of their lives 😂
Lot of panic surely ensued - Argentina, ah crap, they are actually coming!

If Labour had been in power in 1982 you better believe that the Falklands would be part of Argentina today.
Grace K you mean today's government as a whole, and part of there territory as there not linked by land
I have a distaste for both parties, but to suggest that the Labour party is any less likely to engage in warfare than the conservative party is ludicrous when considering it was the Labour party that was fully behind involvement in both the Iraq war and the war in Afghanistan as well as various other methods of middle eastern intervention.
As they should
@@greenplumblossom8899 Belong to Argentina? Hahahahaha
Resolution:The Falklands are of Argentina but depend of United Empire.
Wait... The marines were to small to put up any resistance? They held government house and inflicted casualties on the argies to let the governor get word to the people
Any real resistance. Use your ears.
Obviously they fought but they couldn't stop the whole invasion.
more impressive was the fight the next day at South Georgia Island- the marines there shot down two helicopters and did devastating damage to an Argentine corvette before surrendering
Sheeple Barn that was epic the royal marine commander was told to make a small token resistance he was said have replied “sod that, I’ll give them a a bloody nose” and so they took out several argie commandos, helicopter and the royal marine sniper managed to take out a guy in the bridge of their ship, one royal marine with an LMG give the ship a right hammering, is little surprise that of the few Royal marines who surrendered the argie always treated them very well as they respected them and didn’t having to go up against them as they always got a right going over, by even a small clutch of them. One of the issues argies had is they don’t have ten experience of the British in fighting wars and some of the best trained fighting soldiers in the world.
@@Joesolo13
It was later revealed that the Marines on the Falklands had killed over 100 Argie invaders and destroyed an armoured vehicle before surrendering. I think that counts as resistance.
@@youraveragescotsman7119 they only killed 20 before surrendering, not to discredit them but you know.
Oh right, I am Argentinian, Falkland Islands belong to Great Britain but there's no need to insult. Argentinians shold stop doing it and British shouldn't do it, either. The past is gone. You won the war, oh right they are yours. I don't like when people here say 'Las Malvinas son argentinas' which means 'The Falklands belong to Argentina' because IT IS NOT TRUE! We lost the war. Do people speak Spanish in the Falklands? They don't. Do people use the 'Argentinian peso' over there? They don't. THE CULTURE IS BRITISH. So, I wish they would stop making unreal comments. I have nothing against my country but against those people who insist that these Islands are Argentinian and it's clear they are not!!
oh dear is aldi Greek ? pulps the common people get it?
Enzo Prozzille your schools in Argintina teach a completely false history which is the reason why.
good luck persuading the internet to stop insulting anything
ITS BECAUSE OF A 8 YEAR MILITARY DICTATORSHIP. MY BRITISH TEACHER WAS ONLY YOUNG AND SCARED THAT ARGENTINA WAS GOING TO BOMB ENGLISH SOIL.
Falkland Islands is for england ,,,not for arjentina poor and brown
How is this the first I've heard Thatcher's voice before? She has such a soft spoken voice compared to what I thought it would be, given her reputation.
She has one of the most distinctive and recognizable voices in the world... you can catch her in speech mode and in parliamentary mode... I am sure there are thousands of youtube videos.

It was right over wrong and PM Thatcher understood that. I as an American was very proud of our Allies of the UK 🇬🇧
😊
It's been said that at the Falklands victory parade Thatcher forgot to invite the Royal family. I heard at the time that actually she did invite them, but they declined.
when you have Argentines bitching about Britain. I'm sorry you only lasted a month in a war with Britain who may I remind you had no help from NATO even though they offered it. The Falklands are British and are recognised by the UN as being British. Britain have the 4th most powerful military on the planet and the best trained troops on the planet. We don't even need to talk about nuclear weapons because we can destroy Argentinas armed forces with just our conventional forces. By 2020 the UK will have 2 Supercarriers in service able to project British power anywhere on the globe. Argentina have no hope of seizing the Falklands permanently because us British are too powerful for them.
A company of Gurkhas will do the job
What are the other 2 platoons going to do?
pablo tacain resort to calling someone a Nazis because you can't back your statements up with facts. a better word to call me was an imperialist. it's not a matter of where the islands lie it's a matter of who lives on them. the citizens of the Falklands are British not Argentine and they have had a referendum under United Nations rules declaring their wish to remain a British overseas territory. with the election of Donald Trump relations with Russia will more than likely improve and currently British relations with China are very good. if only Argentina was still a colony. we've beat your Spanish masters countless times and we've beaten you with ease. Britain is a country is a country with a history of resilience and strength. Argentina is a country with a history of being beaten by Britain and a country that cries to the international community who quite frankly don't care because they'd rather have good relations with Britain than help you. Finally if South America was to be left in anyone's hands it would be Brazils but again Britain has no intention of leaving the Falklands so deal with it.
Hahaha what a load of codswallop! So you'd rather the British population of the Falkla- Wait I got an idea you want South Americans to control the Falklands, Lets make the islands go independent! Then the South Americans will control them! See how I can change the tide of your argument... Plus what does Argentina want it for other than the oil and uranium? Sounds like Imperialism if you look at it...
pablo tacain Britain don't want it for oil. The only reason we keep and defend the Falklands is because they chose in a referendum to remain an overseas territory of the UK. The moment they reject British rule is the moment Britain gives them up. I'm sorry if Argentine rule is so unattractive to them compared to British rule. The majority of nations side with the UK in this dispute so instead of being bitter about the fact Britain control the Falklands and we kicked your ass during the Falklands war, grow up and deal with it instead of singing the praises of a 4th rate power in Latin America thinking it comes close to the UK. News flash the UK is better. The Falkland Islanders know it and so does the rest of the world.
When I was young I was taught that Thatcher was an evil woman but since I have been red pilled I now know she was an absolute boss!
@RED RED Yup defo a cringe leftie
May God Bless the Iron Lady. She was a great friend to the USA and her friend, President Reagan.
Yeah that's true, but the islands do belong to Argentina.
SaltyBastionMain No they fucking don’t, they are GBs.
lol her "friend" President Reagan? The same President Reagan that discussed supporting Argentina win the Falklands War? Your words are cute - but the United States is no friend of Great Britain.
Tony England do you not know the history of that war.The Only reason the US first started supporting Argentina was because they are in the part of the world where the United States needs to control that area. Secondly after the conflict was escalating the United States supported Britain because even they knew that what Argentina did was not good at all and also if the US continued supporting Argentina there would not have been any British ships on this side of the world because everyone knew who the real world power was at that time.
The USA, through Haig, wanted to give the impression they were supporting Britain while doing the exact reverse and camouflaging support for Argentina with the end result of the Falkland Islands being under Argentinian authority. Right down to the CIA giving Argentina details of where we were landing on the islands.
Greatest female politician in 20th century ！God Bless Margaret Thatcher
Amen
Or the worst depends on who you ask
Bruh there was only like two female politician’s then

I dont forget iron lady. One of the politician who from my childhood like, Raegan, Gorbacev, Arafat, Moubarak, Kaddafi, Chirac, Kohl. R.I.P🙏Loves from Turkey.
The sad thing is, that a brutal Argentinian military junta started this conflict to stay in power. A junta which has murdered many more Argentinian civilians than military personel was lost in combat with the UK.
Why most Argentinians saw the military aggression as some sort of patriotic enterprise is a riddle. Not only was it started by a brutal and illegitimate government, but Argentina's claim to the Falklands is no more reasonable than their claim to say, the Maldives would be.
It is true, that the Falklands being British is the result of colonialism. Yet this is utterly meaningless, as Argentina is also the result of colonialism. And so is each and every other country in South and North America.
Your summary comment is the third world against a colonial and ancient power
im Argentine and i agree with you until the last paragraph, guessing by your knowledge i guess you know that before the British invaded the islands in 1833, there was Argentine settlements in the islands, it doesnt have anything to do with what you said but just telling you to let you know (to a 1 year old comment heh), the war was pointless and it was an strategy of the Junta to try and see if they could stay in the government, it of course utterly failed and we lost the war, although im proud of the actions of our young men at the war, im disgusted by the war itself since it was like cavemen vs aliens or something like that

So many arguments going on about sovereignty of the Falklands. The fact remains the Argentinians never set foot on the islands prior to 1982 but still believed it had a right to own them due to how close they were. If that were the case the world map would change massively.

All right I don't know if this will work here but...
*_Sent to the islands to secure what is ours_*
Marching ashore in the cover of night
1690 was the year the British colony was found
1833 was the year uk took back their rightful territory
1982 was the year when the uk secured it
the USA expelled the Argentines from the Island in around 1830 when the Argentines stupidly seized 3 American sealing ships - the captain of the US Warship Lexington declared the islands up for grabs after he destroyed their little colony and dropped them off back where they came from
Rightfully? Do england own india, honkong and ireland rihjtfully? Stupid idiot.
@@asfdse9706 that's just a shitty straw man. what has those lot got to do with the falklands?
@@joeclay9683 gb is an asshole "kingdom" that has committed so many crimes against humanity and has never been held accountable for them. I hope so much that one day the IRA will regain its strength and kick the british ass. For the many innocent dead in Ireland, India, Hong Kong, the African colonies, the USA, Kenya, China, Angola, France, Australia etc., who were brutally murdered by the British.

She sent a naval task force and kick those argentine arses out of Falklands. People made comments on her handbag she carried in public and state functions. It contain firing code sequence to UK nuclear arsenal. Even the soviets don't mess with her. She a confidant of Reagan and brought down USSR. She also had a hand in driving out the entire Iraqi army out of Kuwait. Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady. Respect from Singapore.
RIP the most amazing PM
RIP MAGGIE
Mrs Thatcher was quite scary. There is a commitment to her words that are palpable.
RULE BRITANNIA 🇬🇧
One day after my birthday. She will never die. She is the best!
Ps: The kid is honored!
sure...whatever
Another British win I love it💪
Is that her in the tank?
This wasn’t a war, it was just Britain being Britain
Defending their territory i think thats any country
@Andrew Priester what are you talking about ?
God damn everyone hates Margret Thatcher, like god damn why? She sounds nice enough.
The Irish hated her for what she did in Ireland
During the troubles
She put hundreds of thousands out of a job in the north
Vivan las falklands!!
"I was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the skies
See Margaret rise
With the lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies
See Margaret rise
To the skies
See Margaret rise"
Argentines .. Going to war with a superpower like Britain is like grabbing a hammer and striking it on your own head. It was an utterly stupidity on your part
You're an idiot, the Argentinian forces destroyed too many boats of the Navy.
I say is love,for our territory,
As an argentinian (or argentine idk) i agree. It was Marvin the Martin vs a dalek...i hope brits get it.
Loved Maggie, even though I was born in 1987, I still love her, you tube has helped me figure out how great she was.....
Such a terrific leader. If anyone else had been PM at the time, the Falklands would still have the Argentine flag flying over it today.
u must be from the south

@@rboddington I respect here for the Falklands war but during her rule The North of England And Scotland suffered greatly because of her desicions
@@noid78787 Scotland is never happy, no matter what you do.
@Mohammed Sabeel If the SNP has their way, yes.
I love the thumbnail xD
Best Prime Minister of Great Britain, second only to Sir. Winston Churchill.
she was the worst prime minister Britain ever had
NOT agreed.
HANZO MAIN why?? She was a good person!
@@respectedgaming yh but she destroyed community's within Britain and some other stuff wheat i dont know about
Churchill killed 10 million indians he was a asshole human being
We could do with another term of Maggie right now.
I really wish we could have sent her to the EU to negotiate the brexit agreement.
Germany invades czechia*
Uk:😁
Third World country invades a small island*
UK: now this is an avengers level threat😡
Czechia was not part of the UK
Argentina should probably consider themselves lucky that oil wasn’t discovered on the Falkland Islands at the time of the Falkland war.
Argentina: Let's attack Britain and take over the island! What are they gonna do, fight back?
UK: (fights back and defeat Argentina)
Argentina: (Surprised Pikachu face) :O
i was under the belief that we finally sank The Sheffield as a war grave .
It sunk because the rough seas of the south Atlantic caused slow flooding which led to the ship capsizing whilst it was under tow to South Georgia Island
@@Helmet_Von_Moldy she was sunk by our forces purposefully due to the fact that she held nuclear depth charges which were likely to be triggered by the fire onboard.
Love how Thatcher reduced the naval presence around the Falklands to almost nothing, then was surprised when they were invaded with minimal defence xD
I would be too, just because it isn’t there doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist
This news article makes it sounds like she was there, charging up goose green herself
Then we had the Big Bang in the mid 80s!
Britain such lucky to have a great PM like her
