Although it was known that Britain had some U.S. help, including use of the American air base on Ascension Island, the extent of U.S. military aid during the Falklands war has been a secret. Lehman is the first senior U.S. official to state that the Pentagon's supplies were so great as to have been decisive. The BBC said American sources revealed that U.S. aid to Britain during the war included 200 Sidewinder anti-aircraft missiles, eight Stinger anti-aircraft systems, Vulcan air defense systems, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, mortar shells, satellite intelligence, communications facilities and the use of the American air base on Ascension Island. 'In my judgment, the outcome would have been very different if it weren't for the support and the flow of intelligence, of logistics, of technical support, of communications and of things like Sidewinders from the United States to the Royal Navy,' Lehman said in the interview.

[@Werrf1]

5:30 a point of clarification - the Exclusion Zone didn't apply just to Argentinian ships; it was an area that Britain had declared _any_ ships or aircraft, of any nation, were liable to be sunk without warning. It was more about keeping third-party civilian traffic away from the war zone. Misunderstanding this fact is what led to all the controversy about the sinking of the _Belgrano,_ since it was outside the zone. Fact is that the _Belgrano_ would've been a legitimate target wherever she was, and her sinking probably saved a lot of lives on both sides by scaring Argentina into withdrawing their navy, avoiding a full-scale naval battle.

[@DeadlyDan]

@werrf1 It was also stated that the Belgrano was maneuvering and that is why they veered out of the exclusion zone.

El Belgrano, aparte de estar fuera de la zona de exclusión, fijada 72 hs antes por los británicos, en esos momentos no representaba peligro alguno, estaba navegando rumbo al continente y estaba mas cerca de la Isla d los Estados que de Malvinas. Hasta el submarino que lo hundió pidió mas de tres veces órdenes para atacarlo ya que no se animaba y tenía dudas de hacerlo. La realidad es otra, en esos momentos estaba muy adelantada una propuesta de paz del ex residente peruano B. Terry y la Primera Ministra no quería que la guerra termine, necesitaba un triunfo de sus fuerzas armadas para afianzarse en el poder. Salvó muchas vidas? Solo se que mató a 313 argentinos, de una sola ves (la mitad de los caídos en toda la guerra) en los que están incluidos unos pocos compañeros míos.

[@madmax5144]

Nah; ARA Belgrano was heading mainland because the Junta decided to accept Belaunde Terry proposition to cease all hostilities. Ms Lady Thatcher and her war cabinet decided to corner the Junta by sinking all diplomatic resolution along with the ARA Belgrano. Then; the game was over beforehand and the trap made by the Pentagon and the GB was succesful. Instead of including Argentina and negotiating a navy base and a quote of the future antartic; they decided to crush Argentina. Many lessons were learned from that conflict. They ruined and poisoned GB-Argentina relations for good. I regret valued brave soldiers dying from both sides for nothing. All England can do now is to deploy lots of soldiers and depredate marine resources. Just a greedy episode.

@@samiamrg7 I understand your point of view. I agree on the propaganda thing. I do not agree with the resources. The Argentine Army of 1982, powerful as it was, had been strengthened with purchases paid for with IMF loans. After the attack on the Islands, Argentina became a nation of outcasts. Nobody was lending him a penny. An eventual victory over the United Kingdom (something totally fanciful) would not have provided any natural resources. Thanks for answering.

They still call the South Georgia and South Sandwich they way the British named them. They claim the population is transplanted, yet give citizenship to the natives. Both country signed the Arana-Southern peace treaty in 1850 for all their bullshit and while the Falklands weren't mentionned (apparently not important enough back then), Argentina failed to make a single protest in the next 34 years until 1884. There's a healthy dose of manufactured nationalism brought by Peron and his friends in the Falklands dispute. I mean, they even named Football Stadiums, an Airport and opened a giant museum in the last 30 years. They only added the islands to their constitution in 1994.

@@delloda Hay que separar las cosas. Una son los que llevaron a ambos paises a la guerra y otra los que combatieron en la misma y su desempeño. Le recuerdo que en Argentina a las Juntas Militares se las juzgó y condenó , a diferencia de otros países donde no se lo hizo y aún los siguen idolatrando. Es verdad que al Dictador argentino le convenía un conflicto, era muy impopular en este país, nadie los quería mas en el poder, , al igual que a la Primera Ministra británica para levantar su alicaída popularidad, una muestra fue la orden de hundir al Belgrano fuera de la zona de exclusión para abortar el proyecto de paz del ex Presidente de Perú B. Terry. Hablar de buenos y malos es una hipocresía total, ya que la Primera Ministra británica tuvo de aliado al ex Dictador chileno Pinochet y no dudó a defenderlo cunado fue detenido en Londres por crímines de lesa humanidad. En cuanto a las bajas también le recuerdo que en combates directos Argentina reportó 315 bajas contra 255 británicas, el resto , lo vuelvo a repetir, fueron las victimas del Belgrano (323) de una sola vez y sin poder defenderse, y 11 fueron en el continente, o sea 70 bajas mas que las británicas. de hecho para los británicos las bajas fueron numerosas ya que se dieron en seis semanas. . No veo mucha diferencia entre un pais no acostumbrado a hacer guerras contra otro que está involucrado en todos los conflictos internacionales, de un pais con soldados no profesionales contra soldados profesionales, de un pais que luchó solo contra uno que tenía de aliados a EEUU, la OTAN y un pais vecino que decía ser neutral. En cuanto al desempeño de las fuerzas argentinas, para no ser parcial basta leer los testimonios de Julian Thompson, quien estuvo al mando de la 3ra Brigada de Comandos de la Infantería de Marina, en su libro "no picnic", o del Almirante Sandy Woodward , Comandante de la Flota Británica quien plasmó sus memorias en el libro "los cien días". De estos y decenas de relatos mas se deduce que a pesar del poderío britanico y sus alianzas , de los errores de la Junta Militar Argentina, no fue un paseo, todo lo contrario y una advertencia para los intereses coloniales de Gran Bretaña y la OTAN en el Atlántico Sur. los mismos Generales británicos relatan que lo único que les interesaba a sus tropas era el subsidio extra que cobrarían por pelear en esa latitud, en cambio para los argentinos, mas allá de las Dictaduras, era una causa nacional, y la mayoría de los ex combatientes la consideran una causa justa. Por eso separo bien las cosas.

La zona de exclusion estaba para eso, el buque navegaba fuera de la misma y rumbo al Continente, estaba en actitud pasiva y no representaba peligro alguno. Tratá de informarte un poco de como se hundió ese buque y porque se lo hizo. Deberías saber que la intención no era hundirlo, se lo estaba controlando solamente, pero al estar muy avanzadas las conversaciones de paz para terminar con el conflicto la misma ex Primera Ministra lo mandó hundir para abortar todo intento de terminar con el conflicto y a su vez aprovechar para disimular el hundimiento del Sheffield dias antes y que lo tenían oculto. Repito, si lo querían dejar fuera de combate no era necesario hundirlo y provocar semejante masacre de mas de 320 marineros argentinos, pero bueno seguí haciendo revisionismo de como cuentan la historia los piratas. Otro error, Argentina no invadió ninguna isla, recuperó un territorio usurpado, invadido por la fuerza por Gran Bretaña en 1833, nunca se invade algo que es tuyo, y la guerra comenzó cuando los británicos llegaron para recuperar su colonia a mas de 13.000 km de su país. Antes la recuperación se hizo sin derramar una sola gota de sangre ni provocar ningún destrozo. El fallido militar de derecha argentino no era menos que el dictador de derecha, y mas sanguinario aún, de Chile del cual la Primera Ministra era aliada, la misma que dijo que no negociaba con Dictadores y defendía la Democracia, inclusive salió a defenderlo cuando fue detenido por crímenes de lesa humanidad en Londres, una hipocresía total, régimenes que eran apoyados por todos los paises de Occidente ya que según ellos controlaban la propagación del comunismo en esta parte del Continente. Aparte te recuerdo que en Argentina a los Dictadores de los juzgó y condenó, en otros lados no y siguieron en el Gobierno por muchos años mas y sin embargo los defensores de los Derechos Humanos, de la democracia siguieron teniendo relaciones diplomáticas. Es verdad , Argentina no pudo recuperar Malvinas, pero omitis decir que los piratas contaron con el apoyo de EEUU, la OTAN ( organismo que tiene una enorme base militar en las afueras de Puerto Argentino) y de un país vecino que decía ser neutral y terminó haciendo todo lo contrario, y que las bajas en combates directos fueron casi similares, un poco mas de 300 del lado argentino y unos 270 del británico ( eso dicen ellos, la verdad recién se sabrá en el 2072), el resto de las bajas argentinas se dieron en el cobarde ataque al Belgrano (313) aunque para vos fue un heroico hecho de guerra. Los británicos nunca van solos a una guerra,cuando lo intentaron en 1806 y 1807 para invadir y conquistar el Rio de La Plata y Buenos Aires fracasaron y fueron derrotados totalmente. A los británicos no les tenemos que agradecer nada, el régimen militar argentino tenía sus días contados, con guerra o sin guerra, días antes de Malvinas ya se habían manifestado miles de personas en todo el pais contra ellos y fueron repelidos violentamente, toso el pueblo estaba contra ellos, algo que hacía rato venía sucediendo. Investigá un poco, no cuesta mucho hacerlo antes que repetir lo que dicen todos. Acá siempre se habló libremente, y cuando no lo permitieron nos resistimos, no necesitamos nunca la ayuda de nadie para solucionar nuestros problemas y lo viví de cerca, hice el servicio militar durante Malvinas ( no fui a las islas ) y estudié en la Universidad durante un tiempo de Dictadura, se mucho de lucha y resistencia y es una falta de respeto y de conocimiento que digas que le debemos la Democracia a Gran Bretaña. para terminar te vuelvo a refrescar la memoria, para las Naciones Unidas y demás organismos internacionales, hoy Malvinas sigue siendo una colonia, un territorio en disputa, algo que es apoyado por mas de 130 paises miembros.

Read The First Casualty by Ricky D Phillips and Too Few Too Far by George Thomsen, the Royal Marine garrison and the Marines on South Georgia fought like lions. The 60 Royal Marines on the Falklands fought a massive running battle with the Argentines firing off 6,462 rounds of ammunition and 12 rockets, with a minimum estimate of Argentine losses at 5 dead and 17 injured along with 3 prisoners taken, and one Amtrack destroyed and another damaged. They were ordered to surrender by Governor Rex Hunt to prevent the massive civilian casualties that would have been incurred by street fighting in Port Stanley. It suited the Argentines politically to say they'd landed against barely any opposition so they lied about the casualties suffered. The 22 Marines on South Georgia managed to cripple the Corvette ARA Guerrico with small arms/machine gun/sniper/anti tank rocket fire as well as shooting down a helicopter and killing 3 and wounding 9; at a cost of one man injured. The Marine CO Lt Keith Mills decided to quit while he was ahead as their position was about to be hit by naval gunnery and one of his men had a shattered arm from a gunshot wound. Sergeant Leach is also the only person in history to engage a warship with a sniper rifle during the battle for South Georgia. Considering that the US Navy said recovery would be impossible we can be justly proud.

[@franciscosouzaaguirre9688]

Something that many people, when talking about this war, forget to mention is the age of the soldiers of the Argentine side. I guess it's information that does not usually leave Argentina (I'm Argentine, that's why I know). Leopoldo Galtieri, the artifice of this damn war, decided to send young people of no more than 18 years (many of them were 17), who had just finished military service (which did not provide a really effective training). Added to that, they were abysmally equipped. Obsolete weapons, ammunition that occasionally did not work and clothing inappropriate for the climate of the islands. The bad performance of my country during this war was due to the fact that soldiers did not march to fight, but simple youths. But worst of all, is that, like the Russian people during the Russo-Japanese War, many people applauded the dictator when he called for arms. Many people fill their mouths with how horrible the war was, but they went to applaud it. And very few remember that the culprit of the deaths of the young soldiers was Galtieri and the military junta. Anyway, it was a really explanatory video! Very good content!

[@Alan_Mac]

This is only a half truth. Most of the very young conscripts were based in Stanley and didn't see any action. Certain, the troops who defended Mts Tumbledown and William were a reinforced, cold weather trained and equipped, marine battalion with a core of highly-professional NCOs and commissioned officers, along with a well-developed training and logistics system. They also had weeks to prepare, to choose the best defensive positions and to get well dug in. So when you say, "The bad performance of my country during this war was due to the fact that soldiers did not march to fight, but simple youths." that really is not the full story. The reason you lost is the greater professionalism and the greater determination of we Brits.

[@franciscosouzaaguirre9688]

@@Alan_Mac Of course, there were certain elite troops and professional soldiers in the argentinan side, but they were the exception. The majority of the army were young recruits, bad equiped and bad trained. Also, the weapons of the elite troops were worst compared to the english ones. That was really notorious in the field of the war planes and ships (like the General Belgrano, wich was a modified WW2 ship). Also, I said bad performance, not the reason for the defeat. Although my country had had a moderately well-equipped army, it was clear that we had lost. Anyway, the things that you said are right, but the fact that most of the argentinian army were conformed of young recruits is not a well known information.

@@Alan_Mac My point was not that. I noticed that I said bad performance, I never said cause for defeat. It was evident from the beginning that Argentina was going to lose the war, either by technology or by a lower level with respect to professional troops. My point was to publicize information that is not generally mentioned outside of Argentina. Basically that the military dictatorship that was in my country was even more perverse than many suppose it already was. As I said before, if all the troops had been professionals, even then we would have lost the war. The English had better weapons technology, better tactics and better training, but back, the point in what I said was not that. I guess I explained myself wrongly at some point. In short, my point was that the age of many Argentine soldiers is a very unknown fact, that the last dictatorship of my country was really perverse and that the people of my country are quite idiotic, since they went to applaud a damn declaration of war .

The U.S. government offered to send an aircraft carrier and destroyers down to the Falklands but the U.K. government declined. And I think that was the right thing to do. The U.K. had not had to defend itself for quite some time at that point in history and it was, in my view, important that they handle it one hundred percent in-house to make it clear that they were still not a nation to be f*cked with.

Also the other fantasy that still exists in the minds of many that we had a chance to defeat a military power, member of the NATO, whit an army of conscripts soldiers of 18 to 19 years old who weren't neither prepared for a war or had the proper training or clothes for the winter in the islands. Sadly, this is the war that Argentina had to lose and not the one to won. In case of a victory the Junta would stay in charge until the late 80s or early 90s. As Jorge Luis Borges, one of the greatest writters of this country put it: if we had won then will we had an everlasting regime of equestrian monuments. The downfall of the war prevent this for happening and demostrate once and for all that the military leaders weren't only incompetents rulers but also useless and drunkars commanders. Argentina not only lose in the war the lifes of the fallen in action and the posterior veterans who commit suicide due to PTSD (almost a thousand) but all the diplomatic efforts of the last 50 years prior to the war who tried to make closer ties with the kelpers and to the settle the claim using diplomacy.

*Fun Fact about the Falklands War* The ARA General Belgrano was actually a US-built and commissioned Brooklyn-class cruiser given to the Argentine Navy. Her name was the USS Phoenix (CL-46), and she was a Pearl Harbor survivor.

"The loss of men would cause morale to drop" The Argetinian General didn't heard of Pearl Harbor and Dunkirk.

[@peterwhitaker4038]

some comments below are suggesting how many British actually live there or how many are argentinian descent. it doesn't matter who or what..the Falkland Islands are British no matter who lives there or where they originate from. would the USA give Albuguergue back to Mexico because some mexicans lived there? of course not. Great Britain is inhabited by all types of peoples and all live in peace as should be our protected provinces. invade at your peril !

[@aaronbrall2870]

Islanders are descendants of the British who moved onto the UNINHABATED island in the late 1700s

I'm loving this war version of subuteo! This could catch on 🇬🇧👍

[@foxwithgrapes]

when diego maradona scored goals against england in the 1986 world cup (one of which is the infamous hand of god), argentinians saw this as their "revenge" against england nice video guys!

[@CoffeeAndIgnorance]

my father was in the military reserves in Argentina back in 1978 to 1980, he used to tell me that Argentina grew a hatred for both military men and Chile (mostly because Chile allowed the British access at some point when Peru and Brazil wouldn't) during and after this war and how unprepared they were against the British soldiers he explained to me how half the Argentinian soldiers used to be wearing converse shoes and how their FAL assault rifles would start overheating and bend after 10shots he told me that the only good thing they had was the Super Etendard and that those planes were great against the British boats thanks to the fact the they were able to fly below the British canons, but just like their rifles, half the bombs they would drop would be as useful as paperweights as they wouldn't detonate also, he use to rave on how the British military gear seemed to be better apt for the Flakland's cold weather as opposed to the common pants and coats that the Argentinian soldiers wear sporting basically, Argentina tried to duel the British to a sword fight.... with a toothpick! not surprised they would lose that fight!

God bless Maggie!!! Wonder woman

[@hiddenhist]

Calm down with this production value 😂😂

[@eddingtonmillagillo4112]

HiddenHistory make Starcraft War movie like this

[@siyawashnishat]

Thanks for providing subtitles in different languages

[@digita1hero]

It was never declared a war, so it's correctly called the Falklands 'conflict'

[@neildahlgaard-sigsworth3819]

digita1hero does it have to be declared? The German invasions of Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Greece and the Soviet Union weren't declared in advance. Nor was the Italian invasions of France or Greece.

[@mr.m1garand254]

American here can't imagine seeing an enemy force coming at you one morning and realizing you're being invaded. Horrible sight
