  Guadeloupe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guadeloupe is an archipelago located in the eastern Caribbean Sea at 16°15′N 61°35′W, with a total area of 1,780 square kilometres (687 sq. mi).
Guadeloupe was populated from 300 BC by the Arawak Amerindians, who fished and developed agriculture on the island.
One indication of Guadeloupe's prosperity at this time is that in the Treaty of Paris (1763), France decided to abandon its territorial claims in Canada in return for British recognition of French control of Guadeloupe.

 An economy in transition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Between 1982 and 1987, the economy experienced very sustained activity with the introduction of tax-exemption measures, which stimulated investment, primarily in the tourist sector.
Although Guadeloupe has seen a decline in activity in recent times in what was its most powerful sector, the primary sector (agriculture and fishing), it has partly succeeded in its reconversion in the service sector (tourism).
Guadeloupe does remain highly dependent, however, on the outside world, since 75% of the GNP comes from France's contribution (in 1983, transfers of public funds amounted to over 800 million dollars).
