ELI5:Why, out of all places, is the Guantanamo Bay detainment center located in Cuba?

It's a US military base that dates from before the communist revolution in Cuba. It's a US operation totally cut off from the rest of the world -- only way in or out is with US military transport, so no pesky protestors or reporters. Aren't too many places that close to the US and yet that remote.

So it was a convenient place to lock people up and throw away the key.
