New Online Database and Map Set Shows All Nations’ Foreign Military Bases, Current and Former
At https://worldbeyondwar.org/military-empires you will find a set of interactive maps that allow you to spin the globe, click on
a military base, zoom in on it for a satellite image and information
and links about the base, as well as — when possible — information about
the particular harm the base is causing and about the good people
working to get the base closed.
This online tool has been extremely popular since it was launched
with only U.S. foreign military bases. While the United States dominates
the sphere of foreign bases, there are 17 other nations that have
relatively tiny numbers of them. We’ve now expanded our resource to
include a new map for each of those other nations.
We’ve also added a new map of bases that have been closed, for
whatever reasons, along with information — when we have it — on who did
what to get each base closed. While World BEYOND War is proud to have
been part of campaigns that have prevented planned bases from ever being
built, existing bases can also be closed, even converted to useful
projects, and land restored to a healthy state and/or restored to its
rightful inhabitants.
The data required for a set of maps that aims to include all foreign
military bases is enormous, and we will continue to always need help
from everyone possible in updating and correcting and augmenting our
information. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
We also have two videos about the online bases maps:
