Spanish to English Social Sciences History Dictatorship

la impunidad de los criminales.

Un millón de gracias

Basically, the reason they invaded the Falklands was to unite the country against a common external enemy to distract from the atrocities the regime had committed against it's own people, which were becoming known.
