That Time Britain Made an Island Nation Disappear

In this weeks episode, we take a deep dive into the story of the Chagos Islands.

The Chagos Archipelago, also known as the British Indian Ocean Territory, a group of islands in the Indian Ocean.

We will cover the history of the islands, from their discovery and colonization, to their eventual purchase by the British government in the late 1960. Join us as we uncover the complex history and current situation of the Chagos Islands.
