The [[United Nations Security Council]] asked Argentina to withdraw, and tried to end the crisis with [[diplomacy]]. After seven weeks, Argentina did not withdraw, so the [[British Armed Forces]] traveled 8000 miles to attack. After a short battle in the air and at sea, the British landed on 21 May and fought on land until Argentina's army surrendered on 14 June.
