1. British Guiana

   British Guiana was the name of the British colony on the northern coast of South America, since 1966 known as the independent nation of Guyana. Its indigenous people are the Arawak-speaking Lucayan, part of the Taino people. The first European to discover Guiana was Sir Walter Raleigh, an English explorer. The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle there, starting in the early 17th century, when they founded the colonies of Essequibo and Berbice, adding Demerara in the mid-eighteenth century. In 1796, Great Britain took over these three colonies during hostilities with the French, who occupied the Netherlands. Britain returned control to the Batavian Republic in 1802, but captured the colonies a year later during the Napoleonic Wars. The colonies were officially ceded to the United Kingdom in 1814, and consolidated into a single colony in 1831. The colony's capital was at Georgetown. As the British developed the colony for sugar cane plantations, they imported many Africans as slave labour. The economy became more diversified since the late nineteenth century, but has relied on resource exploitation. Guyana became independent of the United Kingdom on 26 May 1966.
