#1 The Argentinian invasion of the Falkland Islands began on 2 April 1982, with the invasion of Mullet Creek. The Argentinians were met by British troops, who surrendered after five hours of fighting. 67 Royal Marines and 11 members of the Royal Navy were captured.

#2 The Falklands are a temperate climate with little rainfall, but strong winds. The islands are treeless, and there is nothing to break the wind. When the weather clears, the scenery is beautiful.

#3 The Falkland Islands were a British colony, and life there was never idyllic. The economy relied on food imports, and the population was steadily declining. The only source of income was the philatelic industry, which received a huge boost with the war.

#4 The Falklands are a sheep-farming community outside Stanley. The locals do not like the term Port Stanley, so often used in the press, because the true name is simply Stanley. The Falkland Islands Company owns nearly half of the islands.
