User:Wee Curry Monster/Political development in modern Gibraltar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gibraltar /dʒɪˈbrɔːltər/ is a British overseas territory located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean. For much of its history Gibraltar has been an important base for the British Royal Navy. As a result, compared with other former British colonies, civilian Government in Gibraltar emerged largely in the 20th Century as the needs of the civilian population were often considered by Governors as subordinate to the needs of the military.
