1982: Argentina invades Falklands
Argentina has invaded the British territory of the Falkland Islands in the south Atlantic.
The islands, off the coast of Argentina, have been a cause of friction between the two countries since Britain claimed them in 1833.The Argentine flag is now flying over Government House in the Falkland Islands’ capital, Port Stanley.
The head of the country’s military junta, General Leopoldo Galtieri, has welcomed the “recovery” of “Las Malvinas” – the Argentine name for the Falklands.
General Galtieri said Argentina had been left with no option other than military action.
The invasion followed months of sabre-rattling and a build-up over the past few days of Argentine war ships off the Falkland Islands, home to about 1,800 people.
No doubt someone will have something to say about capitalist monsters and oppressed people … naming no names but rhymes with spazman :wink:

Truman signs the Foreign Assistance Act, commonly known as the Marshall Plan. Named after U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall, the programme channelled over $13 billion in aid to Europe between 1948 and 1951. The plan was designed to spark economic recovery in European countries devastated by World War II. It also saved the United States from a post-war recession by providing a broader market for American goods.
However, because the USSR prevented countries like Poland and Czechoslovakia from participating, the plan also contributed to the raising of the Iron Curtain between Eastern and Western Europe.
Bet those curtain chords were flipping strong :lol:
Bye darlings….see you all soon…mwah…mwah …hehe
