She benefitted greatly from Argentina's delusion that they could claim the Falkland Islands. It wasn't much of a war with Argentina's woefully unprepared millitary thinking they could push around Great Britain. I think it was only recently like within the last 10 years that they started having flights from the Falkland Islands to the Argentine mainland so the residents can catch flights back to Britain, rather than always fly on Millitary planes. Still a fair bit of animosity exists in the Falklands today from what I could gather talking to some locals when I was there in 2009.
