| | British Indian Ocean Territory |
| | After the British Indian Ocean Territory had been created, the UK Government gave Mauritius an undertaking to cede the Chagos islands to Mauritius when they were no longer required for defence purposes. | | | France, which had already colonised Réunion in the middle of the seventeenth century, claimed Mauritius in 1775, having sent its first settlers there in 1772; it subsequently took possession of the Seychelles group and the islands of the Chagos Archipelago. | | | However, since the 1980s, successive Mauritian governments have asserted a sovereignty claim to the islands, arguing that they were detached illegally. |

| | It entailed maintaining a naval presence in the Persian Gulf, and wherever possible, in the countries on the rim of the Indian Ocean, not only to secure the sea lines of communication which criss-crossed the Indian Ocean but also to inject military force from seaward when required. | | | The foremost was to deter Russia from interrupting the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf countries to America and Europe. | | | The island's name is believed to have come from either the ship's captain or the navigator on that early voyage of discovery. |

| | The class action was filed by some of the more than 1,000 people who had lived in the isolated chain of islands in the Indian Ocean until the United States acquired control of the territory from British colonial rule in 1965. | | | Friday, December 21, 2001; Washington Post A group of indigenous people who say they were forced from their archipelago when the United States assumed control of Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands in the 1960s sued the government in U.S. District Court yesterday, alleging genocide, torture and forced relocation. | | | The Chagossians charge that the agreement with the British says "acquisition of Diego Garcia for defense purposes will imply displacement of the whole of the existing population of the island." The Chagossians say U.S. military and contract workers forced them from the island in the late '60s and early '70s. |

| | In 2000 a number of Ilois, British subjects who had lived on the Chagos islands, claimed that the British government had unlawfully removed them from the islands during the period 1967–73 to allow the US military base to be built. | | | The High Court ruled that they had been unlawfully ejected, and the remaining Ilois, many in exile in Mauritius, began planning to return to the islands. | | | The islands of Aldabra, Farquhar, and Desroches, some 485 km/300 mi north of Madagascar, originally formed part of the British Indian Ocean Territory but were returned to the administration of the Seychelles in 1976. |

| | It was called "Chagos Islanders", and was about the plight of the 8000 Chagosians deported from their homeland to Mauritius by the British. | | | The elected representative of the Chagosians in Mauritius is Olivier Bencoult, who was involved in high profile High Court cases on the legality of the deportation of his people. | | | I see some years ago a small demonstration (because I believe that there's only 100/200 Chagos people) in Mauritius and a flag was hoisted but I believe that the colors are different from the ones in this page. |
