March 24th, 1976 - Buenos Aires, Argentina
Elected President Isabel Martínez de Perón is derrocated in a coup d'etat, begining the 6th argentinian dictatorship, many private enterprises are allied with the military and for the first time, all the three military powers (Army, Navy and Air Force) are unified in one reign of terror under dictator Jorge Rafael Videla, also under the support of the CIA. The argentinian army also has many outdated vehicles of the US and NATO armed forces, such as A4-C Skyhawks and french AML-90s. Under Videla's guidance the first conceptions of Operation Sovereignty, an armed operation on both the British controlled Falklands Islands (Islas Malvinas) and the south of Chile.
May 4th, 1979 - London, England
By an astonishing 1% of votes, Margaret Thatcher loses the ellections of 1979, the new prime minister is Liberal Candidate David Steel, who assumes the power and has more independence stances than the conservative party, a year later he unifies Ireland by giving them the northern Ireland territory. this causes controversy among the british people
April 2nd, 1982, 1883 km east of the Argentinian coast
While on the capital the Dictatorship is falling apart, Dictator Videla raises a military campaign on the Falklands, but here is when things change in favor of the Argeninians. Videla sent his best troops and armies to capture Port Stanley and Port Mitre. He expects a response from Prime Minister David Steel to arrive, who, in favor of his more liberal stances decides to do nothing, and let the Argentinians keep the islands, soon enough the UN accepts the claims over the Falklands.
September 18th, 1982, Punta Arenas, Chile
Videla's plans have come smoothly, his forces are ready to assault on the Great Island of Tierra del Fuego, an Island they had to share with the Chileans since they colonized it. Due to the invasion in the Falklands, President Ronald Reagan is forced by the British to cancel out any alliances and guarantees over the south american continent. Due to past allegiances, the British decide to ally themselves with Chile. Argentina is supported by all his neighbours in south america.
The Invasion Begins, Videla seems it like prime time due to being an special date for the Chilean people, in less than 6 hours they reach Porvenir, and begin operation Sovereignty, they think this operation will go as smoothly as with the falklands. Until they meet a surprise, two armored divisions with american M60 Patton tanks are waiting for them, the Infantry Divisions are no match for the armored vehicles, who hold the Argentinian advance at the magellan strait bridge. But they cant advance due to airborne troops that captured the supply hubs at Wellington Island, O'higgins and Port Natales, thus, the chileans can't do anything but retreat to Punta Arenas, the last hub of the Chileans in tierra del fuego. Both the attacks in Valdivia and Santiago fail due to the military personel being ready to action due to the next day's military parade and due to an exercise over Valdivia by the Chilean Air Force that spotted cargo planes with Airborne Argentinian Troops.
In December, that same year, The Chilean Army launches operation Pincoya, where an operation is send south to capture the key island of Chiloe, and so advance through the mountainous terrain, something the chileans trained for due to the hard and unforgiving terrain at the Andes Mountain Range.
In the North, the Chilean army reaches Cafayate and Salta, and in the air many operations with brand-new F4E tomcats, outmatch the Argentinian third gen fighters, so they manage to guarantee Chilean Air Superiority in the South Cone.
By January, 1983 the Dictator Wars Rage on...
