Where History Trumps Geography: Two Btitish-made anomalies - Gibraltar and Singapore

There’s often a bit of banter in schools between historians and geographers. I remember I had a running “battle” with one colleague, each of us playing tricks on the other, each trying to make fun of the other’s subject whenever we got the chance. One of the things I did was to put a poster up above my classroom door that read “In geography, they colour in maps. In history, we change them.” I dedicate this little series to geographers, and as I do, let me say it’s a great subject, really interesting – but they do colour in the odd map or two!
