Haig seeks peaceful end to Falklands crisis in London
Secretary of State Haig arrived in London as Britain warned that Argentine merchant ships and warships would be attacked in a 200 mile war zone around the Falklands. He planned talks with Thatcher and Pym, then Buenos Aires, while Argentina insisted on sovereignty claims and vowed to defend the islands. The Royal Navy moved to widen the blockade, and Argentina declared a 200 mile South Atlantic theater of operations.
