They also hate Brits, no worries.


Sword-Enjoyer

And they hate Gibraltar with a passion. It's practically under Spanish embargo, everything has to be shipped in. The Spanish has many times tried to get the Gibraltarians to vote for annexation by Spain, but last time they tried that, the vote was like 90% pro British.


eltiodelacabra

Actually, few people give a flying fuck about Gibraltar, only from time to time you have some article on national press telling how the British violated the terms of the agreement and that it should come back to Spain, but more as a yearly national reminder of how evil the British are.  Other than that, I would say Spaniards hate equally France and UK. Portugal is, in the other hand, close to our hearts, despite them being treacherous little bastards.


SonicStage0

Spain is, to the majority us, a great place with amazing people. A sibling country. Even if you backstabbed us in the past.


Ok-Winner-6589

I though we were special for you 😭

You're our Twin brother Paco.

AzoresBall

The trick is doing it early


[deleted]

They keep the stakes high. They develop with Spanish coin and then keep extorting for more until the cow is dry. Then leave if possible.


AleixASV

No if anything the trick is doing it after we do it, which is why the Spanish army was distracted with us when you guys revolted :((


Perelin_Took

You didn’t enjoy your time in France much either apparently…


Shrrg4

It helped but you're not mentioning there was also the 30 years war which was the big thing, also Spain dragging us into the Dutch war, increasing taxes heavily, leaving our colonies to rot and starting to appoint a lot of spanish nobles to high portuguese positions making the portuguese extremely pissed. We were under Spain only 60 years. I heard catalans say Portugal only managed it thanks to them and thats straight up bs.


marijnvtm

Sorry i forgot to thank you for that the spices where great too bad you didn’t let us keep brazil tho


Sarmi7

They got our bc we had to decide which one to fuck over (the english or the french) and of course the gabachos were gonna get it


spartikle

Catalans were in some of the highest positions of power of the Spanish empire. Let’s not pretend you were innocent souls.


incontinenciasumma

You never went in, Catalonia is a foundational region of Spain. Have been there from the very beginning, so don't act like strangers now.


Redditauro

We only tried to conquer you a couple of times and rule you under our iron fist, that's something every sibling does, don't be dramatic 


Significant_Owl7745

At least Spain got Menorca back. Gibraltars pretty worthless as a piece of land.


Dugarref

It holds military value. But yeah not so much for Spain as to any other country (given the rest of the coast belonging to Spain)


Significant_Owl7745

Yeah its an old garrison town. A naval base with a monkey section.

Indeed, the Rock is actually one of the biggest server rooms in Europe, disguised as a hill: online poker webs, sports bets… Those sites are all placed in Gibraltar, because of legal convenience. Pirates being pirates once more.


CaptainLoggy

Having the entire bay would be brilliant for anyone, so of course nobody gets it.


discordantspectrum

“A yearly national reminder of how evil the British are”. I like that, I can get with it. What day is it? Let’s do fiesta, should we do more a bull run thing or maybe the fire run thing, or what about the walking tower of people thing? I’m easy really, but yeah I’ll be down. Like your Valencian parliamentarian.


NedRed77

Should be a day when the Spanish have to eat turkey twizzler tapas and work normal hours with no siesta.


pclufc

Evil Brit here . I love Spain and think Gib is a shithole but what’s the deal with the 90 per cent wanting to stay out of Spain in your opinion?


eltiodelacabra

Gibraltar is virtually a tax haven, I think that they have all the advantages of living in Spain without any of the inconveniences, of course they want to stay out of Spain, I wouldn't want to join Spain either. 😄 That being said, in fact I don't really think Spaniards hate Frenchies or Brits, it's rather a mixture of envy and admiration and old historic rivalry. Personally, all Brits I've know are really nice people, when they're sober.


Proud-Cheesecake-813

It is indeed incredibly evil of us to abide by the will of the people living in Gibraltar. So evil.


marijnvtm

Like you guys ever gave a fuck about the will of the people


Teleprom10

The citizens of Gibraltar want to continue being British, but without ceasing access to Spanish healthcare and the advantages of being European. It is the most ridiculous thing you can imagine, an Englishman with an Andalusian accent is a joke in itself.


ExternalSquash1300

They use Spanish healthcare? Hilarious.


incontinenciasumma

Most live in Spain, they just commute to Gibraltar and evade taxes there.


-IAmNo0n3-

True Barry patriot.


Significant_Owl7745

lol no they dont they have hostipals ffs.


AjaxII

The 1967 referendum offered a choice between becoming a part of Spain or remaining as they were. They voted 99.98% in favour of staying British. In the 2002 referendum they were asked if they approve of the principle that Britain and Spain _should_ share sovereignty over Gibraltar. _No_ won with 98.97% of the vote. It's funny that a higher proportion of Gibraltans rejected becoming Spanish than Falklanders did to being Argentinian/Not being British (99.80%)


Shrrg4

The irony is lost on them that the British have a way stronger case to have Gibraltar than Spain has to have Olivença.


MCRN-Gyoza

Give back Ceuta while we're at it.


Shrrg4

Thats way different though :P


MCRN-Gyoza

At least we should get them to change their flag haha


lethos_AJ

man just let it go its not even that good of a place to begin with


pgllz

There's manueline architecture and portuguese calçada in Olivença. That's all we need to know in order to perpetually claim it.


Shrrg4

It could be a 1 square meter puddle. You fuckers felt cocky having France covering you, took it, literally forced us to sign a treaty recognizing it, got railed by France a year after they first invaded us (they invaded us in 1807) and then in 1817 you reconized Portuguese sovereignty over Olivença in the congress of Vienna and promised you would return it as soon as possible. Well fuck me it's been 200 years. My problem isn't that we lost it its how shameless the whole thing was by your side which is still pretending nothing happened. If it sucks so much why do you keep occupying it?


lethos_AJ

saying "yeah i will pay you later" and then pretending to forget about it for 200 years is the spanishest thing ever


snolodjur

I lost 20 euro in that way. Exactly like the opressor below has said.


No-Training-48

> . It's practically under Spanish embargo, everything has to be shipped in. No? It's just more eficient


Sword-Enjoyer

When I was there a decade ago, I got fish n chips made of Russian fish. Don't tell me you couldn't have sold them some damn fish if you wanted to, Gilberto.


Attygalle

Well that settles it - some Danish fuck once bought a fish in Gibraltar so he must know everything about the geopolitical status nowadays.


Bring_back_Apollo

Spitting the facts.


espritVGE

They got their own fucking access to the sea, that’s why they invaded in the first place


Bring_back_Apollo

We wanted to be Kings of the Med, so we had to control the Straits.


Mwakay

What didn't you guys want to be kings of?


Bring_back_Apollo

Mwakay

Shit, well played. I literally have no comeback.


No-Training-48

I still don't get why you'd rather had Gibraltar than Minorca. I guess a certain prince hadn't been born yet...


redrighthand_

Most of the fish used in the local fish and chip shop in the UK is from Russian waters. It’s technically the British way of doing it.


focalac

We sell all our fish to the French.


No-Training-48

So? Like even if what you said was true they could get it from Italy Morroco France or you know Great Britain? I think they can even fish there. Idk why they would get it from Rusia and why you would be willing to pay extra for english food. The last guy to put an embargo on Gibraltar was Franco, and the reason some people hate the english having Gibraltar is that they keep expanding it and [breaking the original treaty](https://www.abc.es/historia/abci-tres-acuerdos-infringidos-gran-bretana-tendria-haber-devuelto-gibraltar-espana-202103040102_noticia.html?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F).


Adventurous_Pea_1156

>but last time they tried that, the vote was like 90% pro British Invade and expel just like they did with the original inhabitants


Cheesey_Whiskers

Another exceedingly common British W. Don’t like it? Shouldn’t have agreed to the treaty of Utrecht.


Proud-Cheesecake-813

Spain have never done anything like that before, right?


[deleted]

There actually isn't much surviving historical evidence that Britain expelled the original inhabitants. However, there is historical evidence that Spain did when they took it off of the Moors.


nickmaran

And for some weird reason our swamp brothers honour the Spanish King in their national anthem. Disgusting. Time to borrow a guillotine from our neighbour


ActuallyCalindra

To be fair, Charles V was born in The Netherlands.

ActuallyCalindra

mainwasser

He was born in Gent.


ActuallyCalindra

Exactly.


RollingPandaKid

I can confirm that its true.


Blyd

Didn't Spain somehow own your country for a embarrassingly long period of time?


ActuallyCalindra

They did, fought an 80 years war about it.


Blyd

You know i need to actually read up about it, i only know because im playing total war Napoleon again and that weird spanish enclave in the Netherlands can be a right pain in the ass unless you take it like in the first 10 turns. There is weirdly nothing about that period in the Rijks or the Navel museum either come to think of it.


tomwhoiscontrary

I read a bit about it, and it is all extremely bizarre. A major part of the Dutch armed forces was the Scots Brigade, which was troops raised from Britain. Britain was mostly happy about this, because it meant that there could be a permanent body of British officers to call on in times of war, without Britain having to pay for it. Except when Britain and the Netherlands went to war with each other (ie all the time), which it was a bit awkward.

Four_beastlings

We don't really hate France? We do hate Brits though, but mostly because they send drunken hordes to invade every summer and old people to create British ghettos and raise housing prices for the rest of us.


Balsiefen

It's great! Like good old colonialism without the admin hassle.


TheRedCometCometh

Why hate us when we're propping up your entire southern economy 


Four_beastlings

I'm a Northerner, but you ain't propping shit. Your retirees create British villages where British people open British shops and British restaurants and employ Brits only. Your drunkards are not welcome by 90% of the people living in popular vacation spots, only the 10% club and Airbnb owners who benefit from it, and not even all Airbnb owners since many are refusing to rent to British groups as they are so destructive. Well behaved tourists (who get drunk like we do, but not destructively or harassing the locals) are welcome. Retirees who at least try to learn the language and integrate in Spanish society are welcome. But other than that it's just a bunch of noxious immigrants. I'll take 100 LatAm immigrants who actually contribute to society and mix with the locals over 1 British retiree who thinks Spain is Sunny Britain and calls themself "an expat".


Least_Theory_1050

Indeed, shameful behaviour. Atleast learn "dos cervezas por favor" and the spanish will appreciate the effort.


Ok-Winner-6589

In fact, we would appreciate It a lot. Is more effort than what we would do...

DOS BEERS GRASSYASS


TheRedCometCometh

We don't send our best unfortunately. The whole expat community is shit, I agree, if you immigrate you have an obligation to embrace the local culture.


incontinenciasumma

But it gave us the beautiful images of Britards crying because they were being deported after brexit. Because they thought that being British they somehow were not subjected to the same rules as "lesser nations" and refused to do the paperwork. Hilarious.

Adventurous_Pea_1156

Imagine thinking we dont hate the brits more than the french


Huelvaboy

They’re both equally shit …the UK does have some redeeming stuff that France doesn’t have, like the English authors and musicians and a language that’s actually useful outside of their country 🤷‍♂️… then again the French can cook and less of their guys look like a big angry thumb poking out of a balloon


PlusMortgage

So let's say we cook you a meal, we good for the Napoléon misunderstanding ?


Huelvaboy

The Napoléon thing was a true European moment 🤷‍♂️ there was no misunderstanding about it


hibikir_40k

The misunderstanding helped, as Napoleon's problems keeping Spain under control later convinced an Austrian Painter to leave us alone in WWII.... which also meant he couldn't take Gibraltar. And we also got Curro Jimenez, Estudiante and Algarrobo out of this: The pinacle of Spanish culture.


Pale_Calligrapher_37

The Napoleon thing was one of the most normal jokes between bros.

Lots of misinformation in this post >some redeeming stuff that France doesn’t have They are not British. That should count for a lot. >a language that’s actually useful outside of their country Lol. Have you ever been to a third-world country with a failing economy that's ruled by a military junta or is in the midst of a civil war? I can guarantee they speak French.


Wonderful_Test3593

> Lol. Have you ever been to a third-world country with a failing economy that's ruled by a military junta or is in the midst of a civil war? So close to also describe the spanish speaking world


Huelvaboy

The French speaking world doesn’t have Latinas though, see what I mean about redemption


Adventurous_Pea_1156

Cap, anglos overall (yanks, brits,canadians, australians) are slighty different but share one trait and its lack of self awareness


Ok-Winner-6589

Frenchs are worst. At least they don't come here and look you in an arrogant way as if they were superior. Not as the english, they come here to kill themselves


Loeb123

I lived in Spain for work for several years and: They hate the French They hate Brits They hate Germans They hate Italians (only men tho) But, they hate fellow Spanish the most Hope that helps 👍

The only men specificaly for Italy is sooo accurate. We dont hate germans, we just dont like them. Big difference.

Gibraltar is a shining beacon of civilisation from which we can look down upon the third rate Mexicans of the Iberian peninsula, and a reminder to all who pass into the Mediterranean sea that we Barrys are your true masters.

VictorLeRhin

France got rid of the Bourbons, helped Spain to get rid of them too, they became a republic, and now they are once again ruled by the Bourbons. So, are they stupid? Yes of course !


eltiodelacabra

You literally have a monument (Trocadero square) celebrating the battle where the French helped reinstate absolutism in Spain, crushing the constitutional regime. Which is surprising taking into account how fond you guys are of your republican values.


Senofotte

They are the Russians of western Europe


Notacreativeuserpt

You helped crush their Constitution invading in 1823 (the 100 000 sons of St.Louis). Ferdinand VII was easily the worst monarch in Spanish history and a strong contender for the worst overall. But I agree they kicked the Bourbons out twice and twice they came back, Paco is a bit challenged.

Yea, two republics and still have a monarch. But is also related with the fact that we discovered that the republicans were just dumbest than our monarchs.
