The island British colony that was evacuated to make way for an American military base is Diego Garcia. Located in the Indian ocean, it was home to the Chagossian people, who were forcibly removed in the 1960s and 1970s to allow the establishment of a U.S. military facility. This relocation has since been the subject of significant legal and human rights discussions.
