However the inhabitants regard themselves as British which is why we went to war over them, not oil or fishing as we have plenty of both in the North Sea. I would like to klnow if there are any Argentinians living there in numbers? From the politcal angle it was also a convenient distraction from the economic troubles Britain and Maggie Thatcher were going through at the time. Gabriel you need to qualify your statements and do some homework. Six British ships were sunk in brave and audacious attacks by The Argentinian airforce, the only arm of the Argentinian forces to distinguish themselves in the conflict. Others were damaged by fire from the shore of the islands and air attacks which you might be referring to. As far as I know none went anywhere near the Argentine mainland as they probably would have been bombed out of the water if they did. If you have documented evidence to say they did and were damaged then please point me too it. Edited by cptpies (08/19/05 02:06 AM) Post Extras
