The Associated Press
The decade of the 1980s produced a familiar chronicle of wars — from the savage Iran-Iraq War, which broke out in 1980 and dragged on for eight years, to the short, bloody fight between Britain and Argentina about the Falklands Islands, a conflict that blew up in 1982.
Lebanon was ripped apart by civil war and ended the decade as it started it, in a flood of Muslim and Christian blood. Wars scourged Africa from the sands of the Sahara to Europe. The dead often went uncounted, and the living often lived on in the misery of famine and flight.
Here is a brief look at some major conflicts of the decade:
IRAN-IRAO
AFGHANISTAN
United Nations estimates that 1.5 million Afghans have died. Moscow says 13,310 Red Army soldiers died.
The eight-year war was the decade's longest conventional military confrontation. Casualty estimates vary widely and are as high as 1 million dead on both sides, two-thirds of them Iranian.
LEBANON
Continuing civil war between Soviet-backed government and U.S.-supported insurgents. Moscow withdrew Soviet troops in 1989. The
Civil war that started in 1975 continues, with casualties mounting to more than 150,000, most of them civilians. The Israeli invasion of 1982 led to additional casualties, including 654 Israel war dead. Almost 300 U.S. and French peacekeeping soldiers were killed in 1983 bombings.
FALKLAND ISLANDS
Argentina and Britain engaged in a short, bloody war in 1983 about disputed islands in the South Atlantic. During the war, the United States 712 Argentines and 255 Britons dead.
EL SALVADOR
In a conflict that began in 1979, leftist guerillas have been battling the U.S.-supported Salvadoran government, and more than 71,000 Salvadors have died, mostly civilians.
NICARAGUA
Since 1981, Sandistina government troops and U.S.-supported contras have been locked in sporadic conflict, but the war appears to be ending.
