Major post-WWII presence during/after Franco's dictatorship at Rota, Móron, other bases; expanding presence now focused on Africa.
💡 Why Does This Matter?
The United States maintains approximately 750 military bases in over 80 countries — more than any nation in world history. The annual cost of maintaining overseas bases exceeds $55 billion.
Critics argue that many overseas bases are Cold War relics that increase tensions, provoke "blowback," and drain resources from domestic needs. Supporters say they deter aggression and protect allies. Morón AB in Spain is one of these installations.
