    Default Is it time for Gibraltar to Expand Its Territory?

    Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean. It has an area of 2.3 square miles (6.0 km2) and a northern border with the Province of Cádiz in Andalusia, Spain. The Rock of Gibraltar is the major landmark of the region. At its foot is a densely populated city area, home to almost 30,000 Gibraltarians and other nationalities.

    An Anglo-Dutch force captured Gibraltar from Spain in 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession on behalf of the Habsburg pretender to the Spanish throne. The territory was subsequently ceded to Britain "in perpetuity" under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. It was an important base for the Royal Navy; today its economy is based largely on tourism, online gambling, financial services, and shipping.

    The sovereignty of Gibraltar is a major point of contention in Anglo-Spanish relations as Spain asserts a claim to the territory. Gibraltarians overwhelmingly rejected proposals for Spanish sovereignty in a 1967 referendum and again in 2002. Under the Gibraltar constitution of 2006, Gibraltar governs its own affairs, though some powers, such as defence and foreign relations, remain the responsibility of the UK Government.


    It was formally known a one of the Pillars of Hercules.





    As Gibraltar expands, it's present territory is too small, should Britain occupy more surrounding land and extend Gibraltar?

    I say

    Normally I don't agree with your Spanish-baiting, but yes, there should always be more Britain.

    Glad we're in agreement for once. How large do you think we should expand the territory to become? Perhaps we could purchase it from the Spaniards? I hear real estate in Spain is dirt cheap.

    Indeed but there is nobody worth taking Ceuta and Mellila: Morocco is a shithole. Spain is also protecting the last territories of Western and Roman civilization in North Africa.

    There is no history of "western protestant culture" in Iberia while there is (or has been) 2000 years of western and roman (or romance) in North Africa.

    There isnt history, yet western protestant culture exists in Gibraltar for 300 years.
    Roman history is not Spanish history.
    If it was, then the Andalusian history is Morrocan and Andalusia should be given to Morrocco
