Second in South America only to Brazil in size and population, Argentina is flat and rises to the Andes at the Chilean border. Argentina has the highest mountain peak in the world (Aconcagua 6,960 m) outside Asia. Argentina is bordered by Bolivia and Paraguay on the north, and by Uruguay and Brazil on the east and Chile to the west. The northern area is the swampy and partly wooded Gran Chaco, bordering Bolivia and Paraguay. South of that are the rolling, fertile Pampas, which are rich in agriculture and sheep- and cattle-grazing and support most of the population. Further south is Patagonia, a region of cool, arid steppes with some wooded and fertile sections. DIRTY WAR The dark side of Argentina (known as the Dirty war) includes the junta being charged by the Commission for Human rights in Geneva with the death (murder) of 2300 people (political Murders) and the disappearance of between 20000 and 30000 people. FALKLAND WAR (MALVINAS) April 2, 1982 Argentina invaded the British held Falkland Islands (In Argentina called Las Isla Malvinas). The conflict lasted for 74 days and claimed the lives of 649 Argentinian military personnel, 255 British military personnel and 3 Falklands civilians. The man behind the junta, who was the main advocate of the attack, was Admiral Jorge Anaya. He estimated that the British would not pursue a military conflict, but would rather choose a diplomatic solution, in which the Argentinians could further promote the idea of sovereignty over the archipelago. Argentina’s original intention was to mount a quick, symbolic occupation, followed rapidly by withdrawal, leaving only a small garrison to support the new military governor. This strategy was based on the Argentinean assumption that the British would not respond militarily. The Falklands conflict remains the largest air-naval combat operation between modern forces since the end of the Second World War. Argentina is a land of natural wonders, Tango and friendly people.
