Military Territories / Overseas Military Bases
The establishment of military bases abroad enable a country to conduct expeditionary warfare, and thereby influence events abroad. The British Empire and other colonial powers established overseas military bases in many of their colonies during the First and Second World Wars. At one time, establishing coaling stations for naval ships was important. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union established military bases where they could within their respective spheres of influence, More recently, the War on Terror has resulted in overseas military bases being established in the Middle East.
For the purposes of this project, we do not intend to visit these military bases as they would generally be difficult for the public to access, they are included for interest and information only.
