British Guiana

British Guiana was a British colony on the northern coast of South America, now known as Guyana. It was established in the 19th century and was primarily known for its diverse population, including Amerindian, African, Indian, and European descendants. The colony's economy relied on sugar plantations, agriculture, and later, mineral resources like bauxite. In 1966, it gained independence from Britain and became the modern nation of Guyana. British Guiana's history reflects colonial influences, cultural diversity, and the struggle for independence and self-governance.
