Between 1968 and 1973, the population was forcibly removed by the United Kingdom and the United States (in order to establish an American base) through intimidation of locals and denying the return of any who left the island.  Many were deported to Mauritius and Seychelles, following which the United States built a large naval and military base on Diego Garcia, which has been in continuous operation ever since.  s of 2015 , Diego Garcia is the only inhabited island of the BIOT; the population is composed of military personnel and supporting contractors.
