During The Conflict 649 Argentine Military Personnel 255 British Military Personnel And 3 Falkland Islanders Died. The Resulting Conflict Lasted 74 Days And Ended With The Argentine Surrender On 14 June 1982 Which Returned The Islands To British Control. The British Government Dispatched A Naval Task Force To Engage The Argentine Navy And Air Force And Retake The Islands By Amphibious Assault.
However Neither State Officially Declared War And Hostilities Were Almost Exclusively Limited To The Territories Under Dispute And The Local Area Of The South Atlantic. As Such The Argentine Government Characterised Their Initial Invasion As The Re-occupation Of Their Own Territory Whilst The British Government Saw It As An Invasion Of A British Dependent Territory. The Claim Was Added To The Argentine Constitution After Its Reformation In 1994. Argentina Has Asserted That The Falkland Islands Have Been Argentinian Territory Since The 19th Century And As Of 2013 Shows No Sign Of Relinquishing The Claim.
