Few Kenyans will recall the 10-day Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom in 1982 pitting two British-dependent territories in the South Atlantic.

The two nations clashed in an undeclared war that ended with the humiliation of Argentina, which had laid claim to the Falkland Islands and its dependent territories South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
