Abstract

On April 2, 1982, Argentine forces overran the British-controlled Falklands, thus triggering a confrontation between the two nations over possession of the barren South Atlantic islands. Part A of this case presents a historical account of the British-Argentine dispute over the Falkland Islands from the late 17th century up to the Argentine invasion. The bulk of the narrative discusses the UN-spurred negotiations between the two nations from 1965 on, focusing on the positions and interests of the two sides, in light of both domestic and international considerations.
