@historigraphمنذ 2 سنواتFor up to 60% off a subscription to Babbel, head over to This series has been about four months in the making, and is by far the most ambitious project I've set out to complete on Historigraph. It's going to be 8 (possibly 9) videos over the next three months, charting the course of the Falklands War as it happened 40 years ago. If you liked this video and want to help support the creation of the remaining seven videos, it would meant the world to me if you could consider supporting on Patreon , become a channel member, or even just share this video far and wide. ....وسعت163

The assistance that they provided to the British id="hidden2" class="buttons"> in terms of Intelligence, access to the Andes for siting radars & military posturing (keeping a lot of argentina's best troops in the andes regions) was invaluable.

@jamesscalzo3033العام الماضيLoved the video @Historiograph! Can't wait for the next video man! I remember reading up on the Falklands War when I was Looking up some of the Argentine id="hidden11" class="buttons"> Warships still in Service, and I can say a few things about this Conflict. 1). The AAVP-7A1's that we Gave the Argentine Armed Forces were the Very Amtracks you mentioned here, and this was the Design's "Baptism of Fire" or more specifically it's Combat Debut. 2). The Former Duke of York, Prince Andrew, was one of the Harrier GR.3 Pilots Aboard HMS Invincible during this Conflict, and remembers Vividly seeing the Explosions from when the Atlantic Conveyor was Hit by an AM 39 Exocet Missile. While I was Looking up the Squadrons that had been aboard the Illustrious-class Aircraft Carrier of World War Two HMS Illustrious, I noticed that the Newly Ascended King Charles III was in 1830 FAA at this Time. 3). The Falklands War was the First War in British History where Journalists were Speaking like Journalists. Gone were the days of Saying "Our Lads are Giving the Argies What-for" like in World War Two and In came the days of them saying "The Troops are Moving into Positions just Captured From the Argentine Forces" of the Modern Day. I still remember my Parents saying that when they First heard about what went on with the Sinking's of HMS Coventry, HMS Sheffield and Atlantic Conveyor their first Thoughts were "Oh my God, this is an actual war right now." Bear in mind that my Parents were in college at the Time, on top of the Fact that this was almost 10 years after Saigon, so for News of our Allies across the Atlantic now Caught up in an Actual Shooting War was just Unfathomable for most People, especially when you Consider that not only was most of the Argentine Military Equipment Dating back to the 1920's/1930's (Like the ARA General Belgrano/Ex-USS Phoenix of the American Brooklyn-class Light Cruisers) but also the Amount of Casualties on the Ships that were lost and the Battles that were fought. ....وسعت2
