In late May 1982, the Anglo-Armagh War entered its final phase. On the night of 21 May, British troops landed on the beaches of the waters of St. Calouse on the north shore of East Falkland Island (East Falkland Island). A total of about 4,000 soldiers from the Third Marine Brigade, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Parachute Regiment landed by landing vessels and succeeded in establishing a safe beachhead the following day. In response to the landing of British troops, the Argentine Air Force countered it with night bombings by Canberra bombers, which continued until the last day of the war (14 June). The picture shows a schematic diagram of the Falklands War.
On the night of 11 June, after several days of reconnaissance and rest, the British launched a brigade-sized night raid on the highlands around Port Stanley, and after a night of fighting, all the intended targets were eliminated. On the night of 13 June, the British took advantage of the victory to launch a second wave of attacks. When the British had breached the last of Argentina's natural defensive lines, the Argentine defenders in the positions began to hesitate and despair. The picture shows the captured Argentine soldiers.
On 14 June, Rear Admiral Menendes, commander of the Argentine garrison, surrendered to Rear Admiral Moore of the British Royal Marine Corps. Nine thousand eight hundred Argentine servicemen became prisoners of war; another four thousand one hundred and sixty-seven Argentine servicemen were repatriated to Argentina by the canberra cruise ship. The picture shows the weapons discarded by Argentine soldiers.
Seventy-four days of fighting resulted in the loss of 255 British troops and the wounding of 775. The Royal Navy's Sheffield, Coventry and Passion were sunk, killing 20, 19 and 22 naval personnel respectively, while the largest number of British casualties was the Argentine Air Force airstrikes on transport convoys assembled in Bluff Bay, killing 56 people. The picture shows the Blue Mountain soldier cemetery where British soldiers are buried in the Falkland Islands (Falkland Islands).
On the Argentine side, 649 soldiers were killed and 1,657 wounded. The Argentine Navy's cruiser General Belgrano was sunk by the British nuclear submarine Conquistador, killing 323 people, half of the Argentine army's casualties, and the largest single incident in the entire war. Most of the soldiers who recovered their bodies after the war were buried in the Argentine military cemetery, and a monument was erected in the capital's San Martin Square for fallen soldiers in Argentina (pictured).
Three days after the signing of the armistice between Britain and Argentina, the British Bomb Disposal and Demining Squadron, under the guidance of the Argentine troops, dismantled mines, bombs and booby traps in the theater, and just as one of the units was about to dismantle a mine near a cannon on a hill next to the port of Stanley, a descendant accidentally touched a booby trap, causing a chain reaction, detonating all mines within a radius of twenty meters, killing all about 20 members of the detachment and seriously injuring representatives of nearby residents. The Picture shows the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier Invincible returning to port after the war, and the Queen's second son, Prince Andrew, who served on the aircraft carrier during the war, returned to Britain with him.
