The original inhabitants of French Guiana are Caribbean and Arawak Indians. Christopher Columbus came to the coast of Guyana on 1498. More than a hundred years later, the Dutch began to colonize here. 1604 France began to invade and establish settlements. After that, Britain, the Netherlands, France and Portugal competed for this place, and it finally belonged to France in 18 16. 1946 France declared French Guiana an "overseas department" of France. Since then, many indigenous people have called for autonomy, although only 5% people are in favor of independence from France, partly because the French government has provided more subsidies. French Guiana has had limited autonomy since 1947. Since then, the region has two seats in the French National Assembly and the Senate. 1968 Europe established a space launch site in Kourou, where Aryan rockets were launched.

Sugar and rainforest timber became the economic pillars of the colony. Slaves brought the work of planting sugar orchards from Africa, although their success was limited by the hostility of local Indians and tropical diseases. And after the abolition of slavery in 1848, the output of plantations was always lower than that of French Caribbean colonies, and the local industry almost collapsed. At about the same time, France decided to reduce prison costs and immigrate prisoners to Guyana to contribute to the development of the colony. About 70,000 criminals-including alfred dreyfus and Henri Papillon Charriere-arrived between 1852 and 1939. At first, many exiled criminals survived in harsh environment, and most of them died of malaria and fever. After the Second World War, Guyana has always been a colony of criminals.
