  • how does spanish ownership of melila and ceuta differ to british ownership of gibraltar
    what are the backgrounds to these small territories and their new overlords

    how can spain be so two faced about wanting gibraltar back whilst still holding their two mini territories

    the uk should start pushing for catalonian independence during the brexit negotiations

  • The Spanish argue they've controlled Ceuta and Melilla since before the Reconquista was completed, and that they were part of the modern Spanish state at its formation (with the conclusion of the Reconquista). The UK's control of Gibraltar is a bit more recent than that.
