Argentina's leaders had only belatedly prepared the country's population for the impending defeat. Upon getting news of the surrender, knots of angry Argentines gathered on the Plaza de Mayo in front of the country's presidential Casa Rosada to hear a scheduled balcony speech by Galtieri.

Less than 24 hours after her departure, Interim President Luder began shuffling her Cabinet; he forced resignations from Defense Minister Jorge Garrido and Interior Minister Vicente Damasco, Mrs. Perón's closest adviser in recent weeks...
