Day of the Veterans
Day of the Veterans, also known as Malvinas Day, is an annual holiday observed on April 2 in Argentina. It is a public holiday commemorating the loss of lives during the 1982 Falklands War. The holiday was instituted on November 22, 2000, and replaced the Day of Argentine Sovereignty over the Malvinas, Sandwich, and South Atlantic Islands, which had previously been observed on June 10 to commemorate the appointment of a governor over the islands in 1892. During the 74-day occupation, which lasted from April 2 to June 14, 1982, 649 Argentines, 255 Britons, and three Falkland Islanders were slain. Argentina surrendered to the United Kingdom on June 14, 1982, and the British immediately reasserted control over the islands.
