falklands war

Today, I learned this: "Although it wasn't public knowledge until 2012, Chile played a large, covert role in the Falklands Conflict. Without the early warnings provided to the British by the Chilean air force's radar network and the use of coastal air bases for refueling, the smaller British...

Hi. Hey. So, I'm doing a TL starting from a successful Exocet missile strike during the Falklands conflict and the changes caused therein. And you're doing this introduction as a back-and-forth monologue, instead of, I don't know, writing a well-worded paragraph? Hey, I’m just following the...

Based on this thread which has been entertaining I thought I would turn the question on its head What could the British have done better? This is tactics or equipment that they had but used badly or forgot about - this is not a wish list 'if only they had built 3 CVA-01s etc' For example I...

Looking around the forums I've seen some ideas floating around regarding possible German (Prussian) settlement of the island of Tierra del Fuego (Preußisch-Feuerland). What would be the best time frame for this to take place (my rough guess would be from the 1850's to the 1870's) What would be...

Story only thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/hms-eagle-in-the-falklands-story-only.506141/ 31st March 1982 Whitehall Pausing only to make a quick phone call to get a quick update on the disposition and readiness of his fleet and having found the defence secretary not in...

So, is there any way for the Falklands/Malvinas islands to be partitioned between Britain and Argentina, avoiding the Falklands War? Perhaps with Argentina getting the western island while Britain keeps the eastern one and the Sandwich islands?

One of the biggest issues the Royal Navy and the British government had to contend with was the rapidly approaching winter, as attempting to invade during the middle of winter would be far harder than invading when they did which meant thing had to happen very quickly So my question is - what if...

So, I was doing a bit of reading on the 1983 election, and there seems to be a consensus that Thatcher only called the election early to deliver her the best chance of a crushing victory, in the wake of her soaring popularity after the Falklands War. So the question seems obvious. What happens...

What if HMS Eagle/ Ark Royal is refitted in 1972 would both survive to and through the Falklands war? What would the possible impact of one or both being available for the Falklands war?

Hey everybody, just a quick question thread about a path not taken (At least as far as I know), by the RN post WWII. There are some good threads lately about the RN carrier force post WWII, but while participating in one such thread, a thought crossed my mind, and I thought that perhaps this...

We have dozens of threads about how Argentina could have won the falklands war, even if pyrricaly, , so here something different Let's say that Argentina won, what is the future for Argentina?

As We all know, the 6 month British-Argentinian War for the then named Falkland islands was great for the UK after they sunk the Argentinian navy and pass the blockade around the islands. But after they landed the invaders soldiers fought tenaciously against the British and even after six months...

How can Argentina buy the Falkland Islands? In what period is this more likely? What changes does this have to the history of the world?

As we know, the Melvinas war was won by Argentina. How would history be different if the UK won?

Before ending the Falklands War, Britain forces Argentina to give up its claims on the Malvins to prevent any future conflicts over the islands. Is this possible?
