Also was once the most powerfull nation in the world, and size for size,
still is !
take a look on an atlas and notice the size of England, then look at India,
Australia, Canada, America to name but a few, they were once all ours, now
take a look at south America and the size of Argentina, now notice the
proximity of the Falkland Islands to Argentina & compare it with the
proximity to the UK. Statistically and strategically speaking, the UK versus
Argentina is a one way situation, England proved otherwise, you give me an
example of similar odds with another country that even comes close to
winning a situation like that against those odds, not even in C+C (keeping
this on topic)
