The '''Falklands War''' (in Spanish: ''Guerra de las Malvinas'') was a conflict between [[Directory:Argentina|Argentina]] and the [[Directory:United Kingdom|United Kingdom]] over the [[Falkland Islands]] between [[March]] and [[June]] [[1982]]. Though surprised by an Argentinian attack on the islands, Britain eventually prevailed and the islands remained in British hands, in accordance with the wishes of the inhabitants. In Argentina, the conclusion of the war led to the downfall of the military junta and the restoration of a system of democracy.
