Why the Falklands War can fall outside Canadian history teaching

Why is the Falklands War not widely taught in Canada?

There are several causes, but a major one is that many countries no longer expected maritime wars and therefore treated the campaign as outside their central experience.

Several factors could explain the omission. The Falklands War was a maritime conflict at a time when many countries assumed such wars were no longer likely. A curriculum focused on peacekeeping or continental problems could therefore treat the campaign as peripheral. Its value is precisely that it forced governments and militaries to recognize that maritime war had not disappeared.
