Here @JuliaHB1 claims Spain ceding Gibraltar to UK in perpetuity was about "self-determination".
In fact, in 1713 at Utrecht Spain ceded its claim to Britain, one sovereign state to another.
The local population had already left, in 1704.
Not at all about "self-determination".https://twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/1095357137763688450 …

Thanks for the reminder. You were responding to a tweet about Gibraltar having been ceded 'in perpetuity', which it was. In 1713 when, to the best of my knowledge, self-determination wasn't really a thing. How does any of this reflect on my choice of profession?

My tweet wasn’t about the history.
