	British Guiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		British Guiana was the name of the British colony on the northern coast of South America, now the independent nation of Guyana.
		The area was originally settled by the Dutch as the colonies of Berbice, Demerara, and Essequibo, then captured by the British in 1796 and officially ceded in 1814, and consolidated into a single colony in 1831.
		The numbers were apparently insufficient, and in 1856 the postmaster had new 1c and 4c issues printed locally, crudely typeset and imitating the design of the London stamps, motto and all.

	The Guyana - Suriname Boundary: A Historical Review
		The colony of British Guiana had been formed in 1831 as a result of the union of the separate colonies of Essequibo-Demerara and Berbice, and the eastern boundary of the united colony remained the same as the eastern boundary of the former colony of Berbice.
		Guyana=s position on this matter is based on the history of Guyana and Suriname and in actions that have previously been taken to settle the boundary between them.
		In August, 1958, at the request of Suriname, as communicated to the British Government by the Embassy of the Netherlands in London by aide memoire dated August 6, 1958, the Netherlands proposed that the division of the territorial seas and continental shelf should be defined in accordance with this principle of equidistance.

	Guyana - BRITISH TAKE OVER
		British plantation owners in the Lesser Antilles had been plagued by poor soil and erosion, and many were lured to the Dutch colonies by richer soils and the promise of landownership.

		The population of Guyana is not ethnically homogenous due to earlier colonial conquests and slave trading.
		Guyana emerged from the colonial period with two strikes against it: one being an ethnically diverse population, and two being a population that could not foresee the problems of this diversity.

		A coastal scene with one or more ships was often part of the seal of a British colony in the latter part of the 19th century, and this was used as the badge of the colony if there was no obvious local emblem.

		After World War II, British decided that they could not afford to maintain the Empire and begin a policy of “decolonization.” In 1957, the first free elections were held in Guyana and the PPP, a leftist, self-described socialist/communist party, came to power led by Cheddi Jagan, who was of South Asian descent.
		In 1966 independence was granted by the British to Guyana under Forbes Burnham, a person who basically, a person widely described by many political observes of the day as an unhinged demagogue.

		He was also a "thrifty husbandman of no small merit" (Koebel) utilising every inch of available space of the terraced hillsides to grow peas, beans, cauliflower, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, spinach, pumpkin, onion and a vast variety of fruits.
		Significant among the reasons given for their meteoric rise to prominence in the retail, and later the wholesale trade in British Guiana, is the over-emphasis on the "preferential treatment" accorded them by the government of the day.
		One is left to conjecture whether the Portuguese in British Guiana would ever have risen in the mercantile trade had not the government and planters paved the way for them.
