Cha·gos Ar·chi·pe·la·go [ chgəss aarkə pèllə gō ] disputed territory of 52 islands, constituting the British Indian Ocean Territory (a dependency of Great Britain), in the Indian Ocean, south of India. In 1968 the British government forcibly removed the islanders to make way for U.S. military installations but in 2000 a British High Court ruled that this removal was illegal.
