Guantánamo Bay Naval Base
The Guantanamo Bay Naval Base is a United States military base located on 45 square miles of land and water on the shore of Guantánamo Bay at the southeastern end of Cuba. It has been leased to the US since 1903 with no end date, making it the oldest overseas US naval base. The lease has been valued at $4,085 per year since 1974, with Cuba protesting its presence on the island. The base has been used as a military prison since 2002 for alleged unlawful combatants, and has been a focal point for debates over civil liberties. The 1903 lease has no fixed expiration date and can only be ended if the US Navy decides to abandon the area or both countries agree to end the lease. The base is divided into three main sections: Leeward Point, Windward Point, and Guantánamo Bay.learn more on wikipedia
