The British Indian Ocean Territory is a British colony consisting of the Chagos Archipelago with Diego Garcia, home of a U.S. naval base. The islands, which have no permanent civilian inhabitants, were administered from Mauritius until organized as the British Indian Ocean Territory in 1965.
Old information (1972) also
include the islands of Des Roches Islands, Farquhar Islands, and Aldabran
as part of the territory. I have not been able to verify that these islands,
which are closer to the African continent, still are part of the British
Indian Ocean Territory. They may be part of Mauritius and the Seychelles.
(Will get back with current information as soon as possible.)
