The Conclusion argues that the current state of affairs in the Falklands is a legacy of the slow unravelling of the idea of Greater Britain. Theresa May’s rhetorical rebirth of ‘a truly Global Britain’, in the aftermath of the vote in favour of Brexit, suggests that Greater Britain may not have vanished entirely. But this kind of ‘imperial revival’ is perhaps more like the late twitching of a nerve that continues to have the capacity to influence the present. In fact, another clear legacy of Greater Britain is the ongoing debate in the United Kingdom over a consensual, unifying Britishness. Thus, one key contribution of this study is that, although the Greater British world is often deemed to have unravelled well before 1982, this mentality persisted in the particular circumstances of the Falkland Islands, emphasising the defence of ‘kith and kin’ overseas. That the war elicited these sentiments of kinship in the UK itself is evidence of the lingering - if partial - hold of a ‘British world’ outlook well into the 1980s.
