History
The Moors dominated Gibraltar for seven centuries. Spain controlled the Rock mainly from 1462 until the early 1700s. Anglo-Dutch forces captured the territory in 1704 during the War of Spanish Succession, and the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht ceded it permanently to Britain. Spain tried and failed to recapture Gibraltar during a series of bloody sieges in the 18th century.Today a grudging acceptance prevails between Spain and Britain over Gibraltar. Starting in 1969 the Spanish dictator Franco closed the border entirely for 13 years, and it remained closed to motor vehicles for another three. Spain sometimes still enforces lengthy delays for cars crossing into Gibraltar. The border sees about 4 million crossings each year, many of them Spaniards who live in the border town of La Linea and commute to jobs in the British territory.In recent years Spain has proposed sharing sovereignty over Gibraltar, but the Gibraltarians won’t hear of it. In 2002 nearly 99 percent of them voted against a referendum on shared sovereignty.
