Guantanamo, Cuba is a U.S. naval base located on the southeastern coast of the island of Cuba. Established in 1898, it covers approximately 45 square miles and has been a strategic military location for the United States. The base is known for its deep-water harbor and has played a significant role in various military operations. In recent years, Guantanamo Bay has gained international attention due to the detention facility that was established there in 2002. This facility has housed individuals suspected of terrorism and has been the subject of controversy regarding human rights and legal practices. The base remains a focal point in discussions about U.S. foreign policy and military presence in the region.
