They did offer to broker peace, which we rejected, much the same as we rejected their invasion of communist Caribbean revolutionary Grenada 12 months late. |
Later. Not late

Further down in the document linked by noggin it said the Junta was unwilling to enter any discussions which involved the withdraw of the Argentine military hence she broke off discussions.
They were never going to withdraw them, that was the problem. You seem to be indicating they were willing to - can you provide a source.
Of course trying to avoid loss of life is the most important thing but I think a few viewpoints are based on the generalised hatred of Thatcher rather than the situation as it was in reality.

Well, it seems as if we weren't in the mood for that given the lack of government support for the UN resolution and the US as intermediaries.
All seemed a bit performative towards the UK public and as if we were actively seeking a confrontation we knew we could win (with deaths in victory just adding to the glory).
Rather like our populist No surrender/No negotiation approach to the IRA ... that of course wasn't our actual real-world position which eventually led to peace. |  |

To be honest, if it doesn't have a light in the middle of it then it's pretty much pointless anyway. |  |
