Britain's response was to immediately despatch a task force to recover the islands, by force if necessary.rnThe conflict that followed lasted ten weeks from Argentine invasion to British liberation, the white heat of battle consisting of 20th century technology, contrasting with bitter hand-to-hand bayonet fighting in inhospitable conditions.
