Download or read book Diego Garcia written by Vytautas Blaise Bandjunis and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diego Garcia is about the Navy's need for secure communications in the Indian Ocean area, and who and how this need was fulfilled. The establishment of a classified radio station on the island of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Archipelago precipitated considerable national and international debate during the Cold War. How Diego Garcia became the linchpin of United States strategy in the Indian Ocean and Southwest Asia illustrates the complexities and difficulties that a democracy faces whenever it addresses national security issues. During the early 1970's, as British presence East of Suez was being withdrawn, India led an effort to establish a Zone of Peace, and the dependence on Middle East oil required the United States to establish an Indian Ocean presence effectively and unobtrusively. Diego Garcia fills in a 25 year gap in the history of this base, and those who made it possible.

Download or read book The History of British Indian Ocean Territory written by Kevin Petit and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Indian Ocean Territory. The History, Environment and the other Truth. Is one of the most remote places on Earth. It is located mid-way between Indonesia and Tanzania and the BIOT's closest neighbor is The Maldives to its north. The Territory is comprised of seven atolls known as the Chagos Archipelago with more than 1,000 small islands. These islands are mostly coralline structures formed by underwater volcanos. The largest island, which is also the most southerly, is Diego Garcia and is used as an American military base. The Chagos Archipelago was originally chartered by Vasco de Gama in the 1500s, but wasn't colonized until the eighteenth century when the French claimed the archipelago as a part of Mauritius. The islands were settled by African slaves and Indian contractors who worked on the coconut plantations. In 1810, Mauritius became a colony of the United Kingdom and in 1965, the United Kingdom split Mauritius and the Seychelles to make the British Indian Ocean Territory. This strange decision was fueled by the creation of an American military base. The islands from the Seychelles were later returned to the jurisdiction of that country after it gained independence in 1976.
