Скачать или смотреть Miniwars #1 - The Falklands | Oversimplified Reaction

Hey everyone, Happy here — welcome back to the channel! Today I’m reacting to Oversimplified’s Mini Wars #1: The Falklands. I hadn’t seen this one before, so you’ll get my genuine first-time reactions plus added context where I can. Original video is linked below—please go support Oversimplified!

What you’ll learn / what I add:

The scramble to claim the islands (Britain, France, Spain) & why a papal line mattered.
How the U.S., Napoleonic wars, and South American independence movements set the stage.
The 1982 Falklands/Malvinas War: logistics, air vs. sea control, and key turning points.
Sheffield, Belgrano, San Carlos landings, Goose Green, Mount Tumbledown—why they mattered.
Aftermath: de-mining, sovereignty claims, and what islanders voted for.
