Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Naval base in Cuba
Guantanamo Bay Naval Base is a United States military base located on 45 square miles of Cuban territory.
The base was established in 1898, following the Spanish-American War.
It has become a symbol of US-Cuban tensions and is often referenced in discussions about US foreign policy.
The base includes a harbor, an airfield, and a facility that has been used as a prison for alleged terrorists.
It is the only US military base in a socialist country with which the US does not have formal diplomatic relations.
