Did Spain Invade Argentina

Why did Argentina plan to invade Chile in 1978?

Because Argentina was ruled by a military dictatorship that was failing at managing their country’s economy properly, and wanted to distract the population with nationalist fervor from a war. Also, Chile was doing quite a lot better than Argentina was, at the time; and the US committed to tacitly (unofficially) support Argentina in an invasion of Chile.

What would happen if Argentina invaded the Falklands again, Spain invaded Gibraltar and the Republic of Ireland invaded Northern Ireland, all at the same time? How would the UK respond?

The only conflict the UK could realistically win would be against the Irish Republic. Whether Britain would have the will to fight, I don’t know. But it hardly matters, since the Ulster Protestants do have the will to fight, and they would eventually see off the Irish in a guerrilla war that would last as long as required. It would of course be an appalling bloodbath.Britain could not and would not attempt to recapture Gibraltar. The EU would do nothing effective against Spain, especially with Britain on the route to Brexit. Even if the EU expelled Spain, the Spanish would have factored this in and wouldn’t return Gibraltar under any circumstances short of military recapture.Britain would not attempt to recapture the Falklands. Regaining the islands nearly didn’t happen in 1982. There were enormous pressures on Britain from the international community to engage in “diplomacy” instead of war. And Britain suffered the sinking of several ships and the loss of many lives, which today’s snowflake generation would not be prepared to accept. Only Margaret Thatcher was able to start the war and see it through to its successful conclusion. And we don’t have a Margaret Thatcher today: only a pale imitation of the Iron Lady.Back in 1982 I predicted that Britain would not be prepared to wage war to recapture the Falklands. I was wrong, but only because at that time Margaret Thatcher had been in office only three years and had not been tested in a really serious crisis. I hope I would be proved wrong in the scenario pictured, but somehow I doubt it.

If Spain marched into Gibraltar to take it like Argentina did in the Falklands what would happen?

The relevant bit of the NATO treaty is Article 5:The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.The other countries would take “action deemed necessary” - this does not necessarily mean an armed response, at least in the first instance. It’s also challenging because the security of the North Atlantic Area has not strictly been compromised as there is no external aggressor.Most likely the first response would be political pressure, followed up rapidly with Economic sanctions against Spain. The EU would be mightily displeased and would not be likely to support Spain. Spain would relent pretty quickly and it is highly unlikely that the whole thing would come to blows any further. Any reasonable retaliatory action that the UK took would most likely be excused.The Daily Mail, Sun and Express would spontaneously combust due to an overdose of histronic jingoism.

Did Hitler escape to Argentina or Spain?

Good question it’s a open to speculation The story goes. Hitler bit on a cyanide capsule at the same time shooting himself in the mouth .AVA BRAUN HIS WIFE OF A FEW HOURS HAD TAKEN a CYANIDE CAPSULE supposedly HITLERS. DOG BLONDIE was used to test the cyanide poison it worked.The story now goes that both retired to HITLERS living quarters. There after a period of silence a gunshot was here’d HITLERS.VALET was the first to enter Hitlers quarters. He observed AVA BRAUN ON THE COUCH HER LEGS TUCKED UNDER HER SLUMPED OVER.THE CYANIDE WORKED INSTANTLY HITLER HAD SHOT HIMSELF THE GUN STILL IN HIS HAND Now the story gets some what fuzzie according to the surviving occupants of the Furher Bunker the S/S guards took the remains to a area outside the bunker poured several large containers of gasoline over both bodies and set them ablaze after a hail HiTLER by the S/S guards the cremation party retreated back in to the bunker A few days latter the Russian Army captured the BUNKER.STALIN had sent a I.D. TEAM FROM N K V D TO CONFIRM HITLERS DEATH, Both BODIES WERE TAKEN BY THE RUSSIAN BACK TO MOSCOW Stalin then started the rumour that HITLER WAS ALIVE AND ESCAPED.Many years later a member of N K VD told a journalist that. The Russians did not take the bodies back to Moscow,the remains were buried secretly in unmarked GRAVE.There is so much disinformation there has never been a 100% confirmation of Hitlers death only heresay evidence Anyhow as of to day HiTLER would have been 138. Old and even if did escape his chances of living were slim — HITLER HAD PARKINSON DISEASE This would have shortened his life

What if Spain had invaded Gibraltar during the Falklands War?

Spain did not join the European Economic Community until 1986. The Falklands War was in 1982, so the United Kingdom and Spain were not both EC members when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. However, Tom Dolan’s point is still valid. Spain restored democracy in 1975. The groundwork was laid for Spain’s accession to the European Communities prior to 1986. Thus, invading Gibraltar in the early 1980s would have been counterproductive for Spain’s national interest, which was to rejoin the economically successful Western European family of EEC democracies as Greece had already done in 1981.A caveat is that Spain’s government almost fell to a military coup in 1981, and this was prior to the Argentine-UK conflict. Some in the Spanish military opposed their nation’s fledgling transition to democracy. The 1981 coup attempts failed and democracy ultimately prevailed in Spain, but it is not unthinkable that if a coup had succeeded, Spain might have viewed Britain’s crisis in the south Atlantic Ocean in 1982 as an opportunity to threaten Gibraltar in the Mediterranean. I am not a military expert and cannot assess how credible the threat would have been, but the Falklands War would seem like an opening for a hypothetical Spanish military dictatorship to take Gibraltar while Britain was distracted.Fortunately, the people of Spain and their King Juan Carlos refused to endorse the 1981 coup plotters, and the coup's failure shored up Spain’s democracy. It is often said that two democracies, such as the UK and Spain, are unlikely to ever go to war with each other. There is much evidence for this. Even with the impending Brexit, both Spain and the UK have decades of experience working together on their issues with respect to Gibraltar—both as mature democracies.
