The intense and dramatic war between Argentina and the UK erupted on April 2, 1982, when Argentina, led by President Leopoldo Galtieri, asserted its long-standing claim over the Falkland Islands and took control of the archipelago. The United Nations condemned this move which was quickly followed by a robust military response from the UK, led by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
