After Cuba gained its independence, the United States placed a military base on the island that is still in existence today. This military base is known as Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. It was established in 1903 after the U.S. and Cuba signed the Cuban-American Treaty, which granted the U.S. control over the area for naval and coaling purposes.
Guantanamo Bay Naval Base has been a point of controversy due to its use as a detention center for suspected terrorists since the early 2000s. The base continues to operate as a U.S. military installation on Cuban soil, despite objections from the Cuban government.
While a school system and hospitals have also been established in Cuba, the military base at Guantanamo Bay is the specific entity placed by the United States that remains on the island to this day.
