The Falklands War inspired a Pink Floyd album

The initial soundtrack project for the film The Wall was completely disrupted by the outbreak of the Falklands War in April 1982. Bassist Roger Waters redirected the compositions to attack Margaret Thatcher head-on, whom he deemed responsible for a disproportionate reaction to the Argentine invasion. He also dedicated this record, renamed The Final Cut, to the memory of his father Eric Fletcher Waters, who died in combat during the Second World War.
