British Guinea
British Guinea was a former British colony located on the northeastern coast of South America, primarily corresponding to present-day Guyana. It was established in the 17th century and became a significant area for sugar plantations, relying heavily on enslaved labor and later indentured workers from India and China.
In 1966, British Guinea gained independence and was renamed Guyana. The country has a diverse population, influenced by its colonial history and the various ethnic groups that settled there, including Indigenous peoples, Africans, and East Indians. Today, Guyana is known for its rich natural resources and biodiversity.
