This war happened in 1982 between Argentina and the United Kingdom over some islands called the Malvinas or Falklands. On this day, people have ceremonies and activities to show respect to those who were in the war. It's also a time to think about peace and the importance of resolving problems without fighting. Schools and communities often hold events to teach young people about this important part of their country's history.
