Britain Returns Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Why Now? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Britain Returns Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Why Now? | Vantage with Palki Sharma The UK is returning Chagos Islands to Mauritius after more than half a century. Chagos is a cluster of strategically important islands in the Indian Ocean. The largest among them is Diego Garcia, which became a military base for the UK and the US when Mauritius, a former British colony, was forced to give up the islands in exchange for their independence in 1968. Over the past few years, there has been mounting pressure on the UK to surrender from several nations, including India. And finally, the US is handing over the sovereignty of the islands. Why does it matter?
