This seems to only consider the army casualties, as both nations lost naval vessels and personnel during the war.

TIL Argentina only took half of them and called it a day.

Such a pointless and bloody war fought over a worthless piece of land inhabitated mostly by penguins… truly sad that hundreds of people died for basically nothing; most preventable war ever started by a facist Junta to try to save face despite becoming quite unpopular. It’s a tragedy that they ever got into power at all (considering that they also killed like 30,000 civilians during their rule).

THE FALKLANDS HAVE JUST BEEN INVADED!!! I repeat, THE FALKLANDS HAVE JUST BEEN INVADED!!!
West Falkland eating popcorn.
This map sucks. It completely ignores the naval side, which was *far more important than the ground battles*
why did the theme from Dad’s Army start playing in my head
A good lesson to maybe not invade a land that isn’t yours, despite how close it is 🤷♂️
Brilliant, many thanks!
Learned a lot about this episode while living in Argentina, interesting to see
It’s interesting how the defenders took so many losses.
Usually the other way around.
But…but… they’re good at football so they deserve to have the islands right?
Too bad our football team doesn’t perform as well as our military 🤷
Shortly after this graphic ends Thomas Tuchel ordered all the English soldiers to just go and sit on the beach and chill for 45 minutes
Oh hello there
Bear in mind Britain took this back from the invaders by maintaining an 8000 mile supply route. This wasn’t even the royal navy at it’s peak either.

Meanwhile navies on both sides: Are we a joke to you?
I don’t know how Argentina ever thought that they had a chance
Foreign aggressor invades
Native population asks for help
Foreign aggressor kicked out
We should have more wars with just one side and no casualties. These two-side wars are messy.
typical clowngentina L
The navel side of it would have been nice to see too.
My apologies for this dumb question. Why didn’t Argentina try to break the blockade and send reinforcements?
Doesn’t make up for the World Cup, sorry.
