	Guiana
		Guiana was the name given to all that region of South America which extends along the Atlantic coast from the Orinoco to the Amazon.
		The Corentyn separates British Guiana from Dutch Guiana, on the east, while the latter is separated from the French colony by the Maroni.
		Guiana is the habitat of several dangerous species of wild beasts, including the jaguar, as well as of the anaconda and of the most deadly reptiles in the New World.

	Guiana - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Dutch, while British Guiana was in their possession, claimed the whole watershed of the Essequibo river, while the Venezuelans asserted that the Spanish province of Guayana had extended up to the left bank of the Essequibo.
		In 1902 the delimitation of the boundary between British Guiana and Brazil was referred to the arbitration of the king of Italy, and by his reward, issued in June 1904, the substantial area in dispute was conceded to British Guiana.
		British Guiana bounds it on the west and French on the east (the long unsettled question of the French boundary is dealt with in section III., French Guiana).

	History of French Guiana - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Dutch briefly occupied it for a period in 1676.
		After the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which deprived France of almost all her possessions in the Americas other than Guiana and a few islands, Louis XV sent thousands of settlers to Guiana who were lured there with stories of plentiful gold and easy fortunes to be made.
		In 1853 gold was discovered in the interior, precipitating border disputes with Brazil and Dutch Guiana (these were later settled in 1891, 1899 and 1915, though a small region of the border with Suriname is still disputed).

		Dutch sovereignty was officially recognized with the signing of the Treaty of Munster in 1648.

	Chapter II
		To the archaeologist, anthropologist, culture historian, or geographer the Guiana region is best defined as an area of land bounded by the Orinoco river on the west and north-west, by the Amazon river and the Rio Negro on the south and south-west, and by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and north-east.
		The supposition is that the earliest inhabitants of the Guiana region spoke non-Arawakan and non-Cariban languages, possessed a simple nomadic hunting, gathering, and fishing culture and made none of the pottery which distinguishes later periods.
		During the seventeenth century Dutch traders penetrated far into the interior of Guiana from Essequibo, Berbice, and from another settlement on the Pomeroon which lasted until it was conquered and disbanded by the English in 1665.

		Upon the coast of the Guiana region are found the mouths of numerous rivers, which, owing to the thickness of the forests and the marshy nature of the coast, afforded the only means of entering and traversing the country.
		In 1614, the Dutch besieged Trinidad in conjunction with the Caribs.
		The fact that, at that time, the Dutch in Guiana were engaged in repressing with some difficulty a revolt of their African slaves appeared to have suggested to the two countries that they should attempt to oust the Dutch altogether from the colonies that they had founded.
