It was never agreed upon, it was a threat?
They also said they would fire upon any ship or plane that they considered a threat before the sinking, so the abitrary exlusion zone didn't even matter.
Bongs like to pretend they're a bunch of clowns until a war breaks out.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war!
Unironically because they're fricking stupid.
The war was the most blatant attempt in human history to distract the population with a bread & circus stunt to make them rally around the government. The military junta fricked up the economy and was oppressing the people, things were getting heated and the mob was mad, so they started a war to unite the nation behind a common enemy, and it fricking worked.
Suddenly, the same people who were protesting against the government's oppression were now celebrating the "victory" and how they totally liberated their land from the British imperialists.
It's depressing to think of all those conscript boys who got killed in a propaganda stunt >t. British-Argentina mutt
>The war was the most blatant attempt in human history to distract the population with a bread & circus stunt to make them rally around the government.
have you been in a coma for the last few centuries?
Argentina once had qualities for growth that might of set it apart from the circus that is the rest of South America but they spunked all that up the wall with some incredibly moronic political/economic decisions. That shaped their nationalist identity into being pretty bitter towards the first world. Then they got taken to the fricking woodshed in a 1980s colonial war and it permanently mindbroke those nationalists. Beating the Malvinas dead horse is something they do everytime the wheels fall off their country, which is say every couple of years. It's a fascinating place.
>Were any important military lessons learned from the Falklands War?
Yes, namely that Western countries are perfectly capable of waging an expeditionary air war on the other side of the globe and win with minimal casualties.
not required.
Even shitty conscripts led by tarded officers can fight well with good NCOs and lots of heavy weapons, but especially if you tell them Ghurkas are going to rape them to death and eat them.
The UK needed that pressure test so badly.
Total wakeup call they needed.
Got blooded veterans out of it.
Royal Navy doing classic Royal navy shit.(frick up on tactics but still achieve victory via superior mindset/skillset)
For me?
Its the "V-Bombers" actually getting to do something. Hate seeing really cool aircraft just train and drill for decades then get shitcanned.
Why'd the bongs get rid of their strategic bombers anyway? The V-series are younger than the B-52 and the USAF has managed to keep over 50 of those operational.
>Why'd the bongs get rid of their strategic bombers anyway?
Probably cost. They can barely afford the more limited air force they currently have and have pretty much only scaled back the scope of their air force since the end of World War 2.
Argis are simple creatures, aka morons, if they win something during a period of unrest they'll happily keep the status quo for a few more years, even if it's destroying the country.
>Were any important military lessons learned from the Falklands War?
Just about the entire British Armed Forces took the Falklands campaign as their operations bible for the next 2 decades at least, and arguably still

Off the top of my head
Point defense for battle groups. Brits could definitely have used a CRAM. Also the need for anti air defense that can be set up quickly. Also shows how much morale plays a part in warfare. Argentinians were poorly treated conscripts, Brits were motivated volunteers. Watch 20th century battlefields on YouTube for a concise explanation of the conflict.
Your ships are not safe anywhere, even if an "exclusion zone" is set and agreed upon

I learnt that Argentinians aren't white.
Don't frick with the UK

They just use it to loudly distract from problems at home, the same reason the invasion was launched in the first place

Thanks to the Exocet I can say that the biggest lesson is to have you own supply chain if you can, if you cant, you are fricked

English trooper is at least 5 times more effective than Argentinian trooper.
