#1 My two favorite enclaves. I think of them every time Spain whines about Gibraltar. Which is British.

#2 The Spanish got these fair and square. They beat the Moroccans in battle. Several times.

This is a major source of illegal immigration from North Africa to Europe, however.

#3 The question is : will the moroccan teevees air movies about the crusades (seen from the Master Religion's point of view), like that last time when there was a dispute about a tiny rocky island near one of those enclaves? This was very subtle.

The difference is that Ceuta y Melilla were never in Moroccan hands (Spanish and Portuguese since well before the founding of it). BTW, Gibraltar does not sit well in Spain. It could have pushed Franco in Hitler's arms and that would have meant losing the Battle of Atlantic und jetz würden Sie Deutsch sprechen.

No. It would have meant no battle of the Atlantic, settling scores with the Japanese first, and then showing Hitler what a real bomber like the Peacemaker could deliver. And then all the Euros could goveretye po russkim yazikim until Reagan came along.
