    Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister in May 1979 and implemented policies that had significant social and economic effects. Her first term was defined by a deflationary economic strategy, high unemployment, the Housing Act of 1980, and the AIDS epidemic. She led Britain to victory in the Falklands War in 1982. Her second term saw major events like the 1984-1985 miners' strike, the 1984 Brighton hotel bombing, an economic boom, and privatization of state-run industries. Thatcher's third term was marked by Section 28 banning promotion of homosexuality, the end of the Cold War, and the controversial poll tax that led to her resignation in November 1990.
