Why Does Britain Own Gibraltar? 

Want to know more about British Overseas Territories? There are two on the island of Cyprus. Find out how they came to be, and why Cyprus didn't end up as a part of either Greece or Turkey, here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Aadw6hT943k.html Happy New Year!

Bro ur vids are so high quality... how do u not have more subs😭😭😭

as a Brit i can tell you that the primary reasons we own Gibraltar are: - Passive Aggression - Spite - so we can pretend we still have an empire - because it's shiny

I love the historically accurate Union Jack throughout. Good to see you've grown after my hiatus!

You’re brilliant. This channel should be more popular :)

Great video! We need more history channels like you

Fun fact: Gibraltar is the only part of the United Kingdom where they drive on the right.

Found your channel and watch a few of your video and they are good, I enjoyed them, keep up the good work.

Just discovered this channel. It's great. I subscribed. This channel can has potential to hit 100k subscribers I'm sure.

Great video! You deserve more views!

I cant believe its taken me this long to discover this channel

You deserve more subs man

This is some good content

Also, I feel like Spain is extremely hypocritical by continuing to demand the return of Gibraltar while refusing to give Morocco back the cities of Ceuta and Melilla. I personally think that Spain and Morocco should both shut up and accept that they will never get those cities back.

Great video! I especially enjoyed your map work here, Mr Look Back History. The Mediterranean is fascinating, so many pirates. Do you think Hannibal really drove elephants over the Alps? Maybe he stole them from the Roman zoo

Merry Christmas!! And Happy New Year!

Subbed!

🇬🇮 Has a lovely flag.

Keep making videos

Pretty hypocritical of Spain to want Gibraltar back since they essentially have the same in Morocco

imagine if Spain had gotten involved in either world war (mostly the first) on Germany's side...might have changed things.

I got an ad for Gibraltar tourism

A lot of islands that belong to other countries now used to belong to Spain 🇪🇸 which is kinda sad

Great vid as always. If only you used the Dutch flag instead of the Luxembourgish one :(

Great job! Where are you from exactly?

Great

"Because we do"

Do How Bad Was The Independent State of Croatia?

Why did I read the title as "why does Gibraltar owns British"

Gibraltar was also a geographer if I am not wrong

We came for Gibraltar and got all of Iberia

ecause we want to be. greetings from the Rock of Gibraltar

🇬🇮 do you like The flag?

_"reconquista-ing"_

I'm British but I live in southern Spain. I live a 20 minute drive from Gibraltar and visit the territory regularly. The people are very pro-British and want nothing to do with Spain. It's a cool place to visit and I'm proud to have it as a part of my country 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇮

Inb4 you watch: the answer is: why the fuck not!

is Gibraltar too small to become independent?

On the topic of the modern political contention surrounding the sovereignty and control of Gib: Crossing the border from Spain back into Gib my non-European spouse was blatantly racially profiled by the Spanish border guards (all white). They demanded to see her passport (as white Spaniards & Gibraltarians swanned by unchecked), refused to concede she hadn’t broken any immigration laws, refused to let us go for over an hour. It took an amazingly helpful and sympathetic S. Asian-British border staff member to convince them to let us go back into UK territory. On top of that, the Spanish consulate refused to grant my SO a Schengen Visa despite having no valid reason not to. My spouse met all of the residency requirements. Apparently they are notorious for harassing non-white people on the border even if they’re accompanied by European descended family. I didn’t really like Gibraltar- too crowded, horrible traffic, not that much to do. On a related note I am a big leftist and critic of neo-colonial stuff. But I’ll never criticise the British administration of Gibraltar when the alternative is what we were treated to at the border by the Spaniards. Unlike the Chagos Islands, no one is having their human rights violated here. No one. Gibraltar is no shame on Britain. Spain is even more proud of its white supremacist colonial past, especially with their arguments of “we didn’t wipe them out, we bred with them!” - yes, ‘bred’ with them to control them and destroy their culture…

Gibraltar : Zabal e Tarek ( Mount of Tarek ) AL Andalus ❤️☪️

And what about Olivença? Ceuta & Melila in Morocoo? Canary Guanches Islands in North África? Imperialism! Zpain! Catalonia? Basque Country? Galiza? Zpain imperialism,! Not ONLY Putin's Rússia is imperialistic!!!
