In the period before the war, and especially after the transfer of power between military dictators Jorge Rafael Videla of General and General Roberto Eduardo Viola to the end-March 1981, Argentina was in the midst of an economic crisis devastating and widespread civil unrest against the military junta that was governing the country since 1976. In December 1981 there was another change in the Argentine military regime that brought to power a new junta headed by General Leopoldo Galtieri (Acting Chairman), Brigadier Basilio Lami Dozo and Admiral Jorge Anaya. Anaya was the chief architect and proponent of a military solution to the longstanding claim on the islands, the calculation that the United Kingdom would never respond militarily. In doing so, the government hoped to mobilize Galtieri Argentines longstanding patriotic feelings towards the islands and thus divert public attention from the country's chronic economic problems and the ongoing human rights violations regime. Such action would also enhance its legitimacy in decline. The newspaper La Prensa speculated on a plan step by step, starting by cutting supplies to the islands, culminating in direct action in late 1982, if the UN talks have been fruitless.
The constant tension between the two countries over the islands increased on March 19 when a group of Argentine scrap metal dealers hired hoisted the flag of Argentina in South Georgia, an act that would later be considered the first action offensive in the war. The military junta in Argentina, suspecting that the UK would reinforce its South Atlantic Forces, ordered the invasion of the Falkland Islands that will be presented April 2.
