Question

A protest named for embracing one of these places popularized the song “You Can’t Kill the Spirit” and had members enter one of these places dressed as teddy bears. That protest was carried out by Welsh group Women for Life on Earth, who formed a human chain outside one of these places at Greenham Common. The eruption of Mount Pinatubo forced the evacuation and abandonment of one of these places at Subic Bay. The construction of one of these places resulted in the expulsion of the (*) Chagossians and (10[1])a territorial dispute between Mauritius and the United (10[1])Kingdom. The British territories (10[1])of Akrotiri and Dhekelia contain these places, as does the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. For 10 points, name these places where the U.K. and U.S. station members of their armed forces. ■END■ (10[1])
