The British also occupy two military bases on the island of [[Republic of Cyprus|Cyprus]], [[Akrotiri and Dhekelia]], that remained under British control when Cyprus declared independence in 1960.

In addition, the British occupy the [[Chagos Archipelago]] in the Indian Ocean, where a joint US/UK military base has been established on [[Diego Garcia]]. The native Chagossian inhabitants were forcibly expelled from their homes in the late 1960s by the British government and now live in abject poverty abroad. Although the [[United Nations]] have deemed the occupation to be illegal under international law, the British have refused to return the territory to its native inhabitants, claiming that the ruling is just an "advisory opinion".<ref>{{Web citation|newspaper=BBC|title=Chagos Islands dispute: UK obliged to end control - UN|url=https://en.prolewiki.org/index.php?title=United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Northern_Ireland&veaction=edit|retrieved=23/06/2024}}</ref>
