In Episode 9, James and Dan discuss the Falklands - or Malvinas - War of 1982. What's the history of the islands, why did so many people stake a claim to it, and why did Britain care so much about a tiny island 8,000 miles away?

Little History is a father (Dan, old) and son (James, 12) podcast that looks each week at an interesting moment in history. We focus on small events outside the mainstream that's normally covered in schools and textbooks. We attempt to answer a question each week, like "Why did the assassination of Franz Ferdinand start World War One?" and every time we discover quirky side-allies to explore that end up making us giggle a bit.
