Correct - but if I do remember right, the Argentinas was about to pull back when one of their battleships (the only one??) was hit by a torpedo.

And that should be the reason why that conflict escalated to a real war.

Conspiracy theori yes (who gave the order to sink the Argentin battleship and why) - but Thatcher won an election, she was (nearly) sure to loose.

That is how I remember that "story".
