299. What are the Chagos Islands? (English Vocabulary Lesson)
Conversation Clubs - https://www.patreon.com/thinkinginenglish
You might not have heard about the Chagos Islands, but I think it is a story everyone should know.
It is a story that involves colonialism, the construction of a secretive military base, and the entire population of the islands being forcibly removed from their homes and kicked out of their islands by the UK government.
Hopefully you’ll learn something new today!
