Falklands Effect
when a country, a group, or an individual which might have been expected to tamely accept the theft of its possessions or other bullying fights back, and thus sends a message that it, they, him, or her, is not to be trifled (or f–cked) with by the bully or by anyone else.
similar to the stonewall effect (q.v.)
after the u.k. retook the falklands, the argentines never attempted another invasion, and there was a noticeable drop-off in other types of adventurism by tinpot despots around the world, largely because they had been chastened by the falklands effect.
