Description
The only inhabitants of the British Indian Ocean Territory are British and United States military personnel, and associated contractors, who together number around 3,000 people according to 2018 figures. The official language is English. The forced removal of Chagossians from the Chagos Archipelago happened between 1968 and 1973. The Chagossians, then numbering about 2,000 people, were removed by the UK government to Mauritius and Seychelles in order to build the military base. [1]
