U.K. sending warships to Gibraltar
Britain will send warships to Gibraltar. They will stay for a few days. This is bad timing. Spain is not happy with Britain. Gibraltar put blocks in the sea to stop Spanish boats fishing. Spain wants people to pay to cross its border with Gibraltar. Britain is angry after Spain searched people at the border. It took six hours to cross the border. Spain gave Gibraltar to Britain in 1713. It is important for Britain's navy. Gibraltar is very small. It is south of Cadiz. A lot of it looks like Britain. Most of its 30,000 people feel British. Spain wants Gibraltar back. Britain said Gibraltar's people must vote for this. Britain told Spain the Gibraltar problem was bad for their countries. |
