Answer:

On 2 April 1982, Argentinian forces invaded the British overseas territory of the Falkland Islands.

Explanation:

Argentina had claimed sovereignty over the islands for many years and their ruling military junta did not believe that Britain would attempt to regain the islands by force.

At last, Britain was the winner.

It ended in 12 June 1982.

It was fought for Falkland Islands.
