| I'm on a course at the moment http://egotastic.in.net egotasticallstars.com As the Gibraltar dispute warms up again, the UK media have been busily outlining the long history of Anglo-Spanish conflict over who should control the Rock, since it was granted to Britain under the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht. There is no need to repeat the boring details here. But it is perhaps worth noting that the treaty was signed at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession. Despite its parochial name, that war was an international conflict involving Spain, France, Great Britain and their allies to decide which was to be the dominant power, not only in Europe, but across the oceans and around the colonial world. (As well as Gibraltar, the treaty granted Britain the right to slave trading in Spain’s American colonies, a triumph we hear rather less about today.) By comparison, the current diplomatic stand-off over the Rock looks like a legal dispute between neighbours about where their garden fence should be. | Derek jaime3s@gmail.com |
