The answer is French Guiana, a part of France located in South America. The story begins in 1493 when Christopher Columbus returned to Europe and opened the race for the New World ⚔️ Spain and Portugal were the first to colonize South America and divided most of the continent under the Treaty of Tordesillas. Later, France, England, and the Netherlands wanted their share and fought over the northern coast of South America. That region was eventually divided into French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana. Unlike Brazil and other South American countries, French Guiana never became independent 🇫🇷 Instead, it gradually became an overseas region of France. Today, people there are French citizens, use the euro and live under French law while living in South America 🤯 #france #frenchguiana #brazil #spain #portugal #england #netherlands #southamerica #europe #history #geography #maps #borders #colonialism #learn Fri, 01 May 2026 02:19:03 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.blueben.net https://tube.blueben.net/client/assets/images/icons/icon-96x96.png https://tube.blueben.net/videos/watch/bcdcef5e-c2b7-4228-83b3-14009be6a278 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.blueben.net/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
