#11 Falklands Unwritten | Before the First Shot
📜 Episode Summary:
Episode eleven. In this first episode of Falklands counterfactuals we unpack the deep historical roots, competing colonial claims, and messy geopolitical context that led to the Falklands War. From Dutch navigators and Spanish treaties to Margaret Thatcher’s garbage-strewn Britain and Argentina’s brutal junta, we trace the story before the shooting started.
Why did Argentina invade in 1982? Why didn’t NATO respond? Could Britain have lost the Falklands—and what if it never fought back at all? Featuring Maradona, sheep flags, and naval blunders, this episode lays the groundwork for the explosive “what if” scenarios to come.
