Ooops now your looking a bit out of depth on this,you do realize that the Belgrano was sank at the beggining of the war,so how could the conflict be over
Suggest you do a bit of research,you do realise that we lost over 200 men and some falkland islanders were killed-did they ask to be?

Cheers Dedworth facts always help an arguament
I just googled this and it seems a fair statement
Regardless of controversies over the sinking, it had a crucial strategic effect: the elimination of the Argentine naval threat. After her loss, the entire Argentine fleet, with the exception of the conventional submarine ARA San Luis,[54] returned to port and did not leave again for the duration of hostilities. The two escorting destroyers and the battle group centred on the aircraft carrier ARA Veinticinco de Mayo both withdrew from the area, ending the direct threat to the British fleet that their pincer movement had represented.
That says it all for me![]()
