Unfortunately, this unusual tameness was used to their disadvantage: as Darwin notes, men "frequently killed them in the evening, by holding out a piece of meat in one hand, and in the other a knife ready to stick them."

While the war was a huge mistake and the Junta didn't started it out of some anti-imperialism feeling (They kept the best troops along the border with Chile, and sent out 18 year old conscripts to die in the Falklands). Literally everyone in Latin America, but Chile, supported Argentina.

Even to this day, all South American countries refuse to sell stuff to people who lives in the Falklands since most LatAm countries sees it as occupied territory.
