1982 Falkland War between Britain and Argentina

 a dispute between Britain and Argentina over the sovereignty of Falkland, a small South Atlantic island about 500 kilometers from the southeastern tip of South America and Argentina. It originated on April 2, 1982, when Argentina (called the Malvinas Islands in Spanish and commonly considered Argentine territory in Latin America) took over the British Falkland after 1833 when it became independent from Espanya in 1816. In response, the UK dispatched a rapid mobile unit to defend the Falkland as an advanced base in Antarctica, and on April 26, it recaptured South George Island 1,500 kilometers southeast of the Falkland Islands. After the UN Secretary-General's mediation negotiations failed on May 20, British troops landed in Falkland, ending the war on June 14 with the surrender of Argentine troops after 75 days of fierce fighting. However, the war has returned to square one without any progress, as the Argentine statement, except "the two sides agreed to a ceasefire and withdrawal of Argentine troops," and it is difficult to reach a settlement of the Falkland sovereignty issue handed over to the United Nations. On the other hand, the lesson left by this war is, first, the expansion of war preparations due to the modernization of weapons. The UK lost 452 casualties, 25 aircraft, and 13 ships, and spent $1.5 billion in war expenses, putting a huge economic burden on it compared to small achievements such as promoting national prestige. Argentina, which has lost 630 casualties, 94 aircraft, and 11 ships, is facing a serious economic crisis, with nearly 60 billion dollars in GNP mobilizing its national power, resulting in more war than Britain. The second is the incompetence of the United Nations and the United States through this war. Britain and Argentina remained open to negotiations after the war, but the United Nations and the United States failed to adjust the interests of the belligerent parties, especially the United States, hastily backed Britain, only heightened anti-American sentiment in Latin America. Britain is a country of considerable accumulation when it comes to war. During World War II, Germany...Asia and the South Pacific fought against Japan. Dokdo is Korean territory! Manchuria and Gando are Korea's land! Tsushima Island is also Korean territory.
