Abstract

The Falklands/Malvinas War marked a turning point in Argentina's foreign policy, affecting its traditional relations with the powers of the Global North. Many of these states had long-standing cultural and economic relations with Argentina, such as Germany, which, in the context of the Cold War, was divided into two states, the FRG and the GDR. The article seeks to define the influence of the South Atlantic conflict on relations with both states, considering the reactions during the hostilities between April and June 1982 and the subsequent period until German reunification in 1990 and the resumption of diplomatic relations between Argentina and the United Kingdom.
