Very interesting video. I'm from the UK but I've been living in the south of Spain for the last couple of years. I've visited Gibraltar more times than I can count since moving here and it's one of my favourite places locally 🇬🇧🇬🇮

This was from the 1920s, not the 1930s, as Gibraltar changed to driving on the right in 1929.

As it befits this well known unscrupulous money laundering, tax heaven site.

British since 1873? Don't think so. Captured by Anglo-Dutch forces in 1704 and ceded to Britain in perpetuity under the Treaty of Utrecht, 1713.

Except it was just the rock that was ceded to Britain. The land where the houses and airport lay was stolen from Spain. See for instance how in the 19th century Spain allowed Britain to set up a temporary hospital beyond their limits during a yellow fever epidemic, on compassionate grounds. Once the epidemic was over, Gibraltarians never left the land; they incorporated it as theirs. Such lovable and trustworthy people! Interesting to google a map of the ceded territory in the 1713 treaty of Utrecht and compare it with Gibraltar's current size now, after the illegal expansions.
