The Falklands War started on 2 April 1982 with the Argentine invasion and occupation of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, and ended with the Argentine surrender on 14 June 1982. Neither Country declared a state of war. The Argentinians have, over many years claimed sovereignty to the Falklands Islands ( which they call the Malvinas) Just because it's nearer to Argentina than Great Britain (the Canary Islands are nearer to Africa than Spain, but its Spanish territory) Now that oil has been found Argentina wants the Islands, (the Falkland Islanders wish to remain British) Argentina had the choice to share the Oil Fields but opted out of the deal. Basically it's the oil surrounding the Islands that interest both Argentina and Great Britain, but as long as the Islanders wish to remain British then that is what it will be.

The Falklands War of 1982
Argentina went to war with the United Kingdom in 1982 for control over the Falklands Islands, (Malvinas). The Argentine junta did not expect a military response from Britain who was seen, in the wake of the loss of empire, to be a broken back power. However the forceful response of the Thatcherite government, and the application of superior naval power, liberated the islands and ultimately brought by Galtieri's government.
