<div id="ygrps-yiv-1562819697">There&#39;s a big difference between &quot;ceded&quot; and only &quot;deeded&quot;.  The USA<br/>
owns a lot of property around the world over which it isn&#39;t the sovereign.<br/>
<br/>
I recall the case of the embassy grounds in Prague - the U.S. owns the<br/>
property unlike the cases of most other US embassy grounds. It was, if<br/>
I recall right, the fact that the U.S. held real property deed / title<br/>
(that a private party gave the US as a gift before the communist<br/>
regime came into power) that the old Czech government couldn&#39;t<br/>
nationalize it -  the grounds remained the only &quot;private&quot; property in<br/>
Czechoslovakia during the &quot;red&quot; period.     <br/>
<br/>
The US never claimed the grounds as a piece of US territory in<br/>
Czechoslovakia.  (It was only a place where Czech law didn&#39;t apply<br/>
because it was an embassy - EXTRA-territorial from the Czech side, but<br/>
not annexed to be part of the US).<br/>

&gt;  I have seen reference to this acre being deeded to the USA by the UK,<br/>
&gt; but i forget the history of the event.Can anyone help?  And why does <br/>
&gt; it never show up on lists of American Territories? </span></blockquote></div>
