jan 1, 1982 - Falkland Islands War

Description:

War between Argentina and the UK over who controls some islands of the coast of Argentina.

Argentina claimed that the islands were traditionally theirs, and the UK, after having lost almost all of its empire and going through an economic depression, decided to hold onto the islands for national pride.

The islands are pretty much only raising sheep.
