I mean ... She did not Start the war Without the argentines attacking there is no falklands war

Right, I'm not saying she somehow was working behind the scenes to provoke an attack, just that at a time when she was being pressured by people like Milton Friedman to privatize-max, she couldn't just make British taxpayers buckle down for austerity for seemingly no reason. The war then became a "good" reason to justify people contributing to the war effort. At least that's my understanding from Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine."
