I doubt anyone should fight for a piece of land as small as Gibraltar, tbh.
Haven't read anything beyond this so don't have a go at me.

Gibraltar is beyond extremely important to any occupier. It cuts Europe from Africa and all Mediterranean bases from the Atlantic Ocean.

Imagine Egypt decided to declare war on the UK over Suez or some shit, i needed a country and for the sake of this example allies don't exist...

Egypt need goods and how do you transport them? By sea of course. Say Egypt are trading with the USA for Steel Armour Plating, to get to the US the navy must cross Gibraltar which is probably the best naval chokepoint in the world. The British Naval Forts and stationed ships destroy the merchant fleet preventing Egypt from getting their supplies giving the army no support.

That is how important Gibraltar is.

Considering it's placement, maybe, yes. But if you check the map, Algeciras goes deeper into the sea - The real choke-area is between Algeciras and Ceuta, both Spanish territory, so now, this said: Why would Spain need to fight for Gibraltar? It sure is useful for any other country, but precisely Spain is the one country that doesn't need that piece of land, at all.

The Spanish might not need it to benefit themselves but they sure as hell can deny any other country the benefits from controlling it.

The Germans planned to take Gibraltar while the turks took Suez in WW1 to prevent the British from accessing India where a key source of manpower and resources were located in. The plan failed but if it had succeeded then the UK would practically be starving to death.

Granted this example is outdated but my point still holds up. If the UK wanted to trade with the Mediterranean states they need Gibraltar as a fueling station and stand-by base.

But once again, why would that be necessary in 2017? Why would Spain fuck up relations with the UK, block a really important area to cause problems to other countries, and risk confrontations, when they can just leave it be? I mean my government is full of retards but I think even they are intelligent enough to not make such mistakes.

That's the thing. Why would they?

I'm not saying the Spanish will attack Gibraltar I'm just saying why they might.
