Magna Carta guarantees the removal of foreign forces following the restoration of peace. In 1942, after Japan attacked Hawaii, American forces established bases in the UK to fight Nazi Germany. In 1945 Adolf Hitler killed himself. On 8 October 2017 American forces still occupied 6 bases in the UK.

Magna Carta Clause (51) As soon as peace is restored, we will remove from the kingdom all the foreign knights, bowmen, their attendants, and the mercenaries that have come to it, to its harm, with horses and arms. https://militarybases.com/united-kingdom/ https://www.bl.uk/magna-carta/articles/magna-carta-english-translation
