Old houses, some dating from the 1800s, are seen in Stanley, Falkland Islands, March 4, 2012. Falkland Islanders are still bristling over the invasion by Argentina 30 years ago, but they're not complaining about its aftermath. The 1982 invasion, led by Argentina's dictators, and the subsequent war with Britain launched a process that transformed the islands from a sleepy backwater of sheep farms into a prosperous outpost whose residents enjoy one of the highest per capita incomes in the Western Hemisphere.

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher leaves 10 Downing Street, her official residence in London, April 14, 1982, for an emergency session of Parliament on the Falklands crisis. She called it the worst moment of her life. It came in March 1982 during the days before the Falklands War, after Argentina established an unauthorized presence on Britain’s South Georgia island amid talk of a possible invasion of the Falklands, long held by Britain.

The former British prime minister's lack of popularity in Argentina has to do with personally ordering the sinking of the Belgrano warship during the 1982 Falklands War, killing 323 Argentines.
Margaret Thatcher, who died today at the age of 87, was a hugely divisive figure in Britain. Supporters say her free-market policies brought the country economic prosperity while critics despise her for closing coal mines, forcing people out of work, and eroding the welfare state.
In Argentina, however, there is a consensus: Mrs. Thatcher is loathed.
