The History of the Three Guyanas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- There's a region in South America that seems awkward, out of its place, but quite interesting. This is a place where Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch and English speakers all meet, where the French and EU flags wave on polls, and where indigenous groups live side by side with African communities. I'm talking about the Guianas, the north-eastern chunk of South America. And we're going to explore it today.

@Energetic Coach you are right.The world needs an other way to prosper. You need wood to build a house,oil to drive your car.There are solutions for all of that but the world persist to use their old ways just to make money, destroing the forest,the land and the seas.Energy can be harvested trough so many ways nowadays,still they agree to do it the old fashioned way,just to have money comming inn despite the cries and tears of mother earth.Greetings from Suriname
Any Guyanese?🇬🇾
Yo

Yea
yeah man
I've always been fascinated by these 3 - culturally it is as if they are an extension of the Caribbean Islands onto the South American continent because they are absolutely nothing like any of the other countries there.
True lmao
you really talk bull shit, Guyana has its own culture, nothing like the caribbean,axcept for trini, so is Brazil like venezuela or Venezuela like Peru so you talk bull shit, no countrys are alike,so keep your crap to your self.
walter this is terible, we are different? is there hope for us? yes we are like west indians, our country is so small that we walk around it in one day,but we have gotten happy now as all the south Americians have written about us ,hurah hurah
ruclips.net/video/FGShXrK7Y6k/видео.html
walterlv01, you would make that observation, because you dont know nothing about the culture of Guyana or Surinam,so you make a stupid assumption. SO whats common between Brazil and Bolovia? or Peru an Argentia? only langauge nothing else,
They are actually similar to the other countries especially in foods
People wonder why these little countries/territories aren't united without realizing that this small area is actually one of the most diverse areas in the Americas.
"These peoples were so alike that the europeans thought they were the indistinguishable"
Also europeans: "Asians are all the same".
@@fernandop8146 he's talking about the indigenous peoples that lived there.. just like they did in North America, they were all "Indians" to the Europeans even though they were many tribes and nations. even though the current makeup is very multicultural in this area, there is still a lot of racial segregation, and cultural differences that will has created much division. Suriname and Guyana for instance engaged in border disputes for a long time and only recently have been looking to improve relations. Venezuela seems to think that half of Guyana belongs to them even after multiple border treaties were signed under British rule..
@@nickloss2377 My critic is that the europeans think they are indistinguishable because they don't care about these people, same for asians, it's not because these people were "alike".
@@fernandop8146 Europeans say that because the term 'oriental' got PCd out of existence and now Asian has replaced orient. When people say Asian they aren't talking about India or the middle east. They're talking about Japan, China, Vietnam, Korea etc. And those countries do have a degree of similarity between them, both in culture and the people's appearance
It's not small. Guyana alone is bigger than England.

The three South American nations (though French Guiana is not a country per se) that most South Americans don't know anything about.
Well in surinam its dutch and there it is
Suriname
Guyana
Frans guyana
Frans is dutch for france ofc
Well it's understandable because these regions have more in common with the caribbean than latin america.
I know the three of them, I'm from Manaus, Amazonas. But, I know nothing about the culture and people that live there, I just know about it's formation history :/
Because they are outside the Hispano-sphere. The other South Americans can't relate to them that much.
@Black Spadez I think you can say French Guiana literally IS France. So France is not only located in Europe, but also in South America as strange as that sounds.
Fun fact: Surinamese population speaks better Dutch than the Dutch Antilles, which is still part of the Netherlands. Suriname Dutch or Surinaams-Nederlands is an officialy recognized dialect of Dutch.🇸🇷🤝

2:19 Dutch Guiana was never the name of Suriname. It was a collection of Dutch colonies: Berbice, Demerara, Pomeroon and Suriname. When the British took over the first three, they merged them into the colony of British Guiana. However Suriname was always the name of the country since its establishment. It was informally called Dutch Guiana, to distinguish it from the British, French, Portuguese and Spanish Guiana. See the link: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Surinam
3:37 the first immigrants to come where the Dutch Farmers, then in 1853 the Chinese and Madeiran (Portugese) labor workers. Slavery ended in 1863 and in 1873 the first Indians came. In 1894 the first Javanese came and around that same period the Lebanese came. The Lebanese we're not workers, just merchants who came by them selves.
There still are Amerindian people and don't forget 13.3% is mixed too.
The Afro-Surinamese are divided in the Creoles, whose culture is a blend of the African, Dutch and Jewish culture. They came out of slavery. The Maroons still have their African roots and live largely in the interior of suriname.
However you are part of the small group of people who really documented the history of Suriname the best. Many people never talk about the Javanese, Chinese, Lebanese and Europeans in my country. They don't know that there are two types of Afro Surinamese. So good job and thanks!
Interesting! Thanks for the added information!
Are the Javanese still preserve the culture?
@@kravenian1491 yes and also the east indians

I'm Romanian, and by default I tend to pronounce things as they sound in Romanian. Believe me, I didn't even realize how I said Guyana.
Bruuuhh!!!!!
Everyone in Guyana says it that way, Guy-Ana.
But outside of Guyana I've heard it pronounced multiple ways. The most popular being Gweana.
Also, a lot of people think Guyana is located in Africa, confusing it with Guinea a country located in West Africa (which also has many different ethnicity's). If you asked Americans to list countries in South America, almost none will mention Guyana, let alone know it exists.
@@kastaway-m4x not knowing Guyana existed is a thing of the past , as of recently ... ppl also confuse Guyana with Ghana in africa
Thank you for the commentary: it was informative and interesting and admittedly it is the first time that I have heard this clear and concise overview about the History of the Three Guyanas: originally spelled Guianas.. The latter name had its origin in Amerindian culture and was translated as 'the land of many waters'. Clearly you have researched this topic and have offered an overview about the origins of these areas. I trust that you will offer more information about these countries' historical development. Thanks.
Geraldine, thank you for this appreciation. I have to admit, it feels good when I get it right and people enjoy these videos.

If only they taught this in American schools. Most kids think that Slavery only took place in America, as in USA. loved the video.
Actually the countries that are considered enslavers are the colonizers, not the colonies. First in the ranking was Portugal, second UK and the third one was france
@Treavor Alvardo Yeah, I didn't say there wasn't slavery in the Americas. I know there was slavery in the Americas. What i meant is that the europeans were the biggest promoters of slavery in the Americas. UK sent slaves to USA, Portugal sent slaves to Brazil, etc. They were the biggest enslavers.
If you had good education then show it. Respect the others, I didn't answered you in any way, I don't know you and you attacked me without giving me the chance to explain the things you didn't understand about my message.
@Treavor Alvardo of course slavery is nothing new, but the dimension slavery had on the colonization is something incomparable to any other thing.

Some truth and a lot of incorrect information. Most people viewing this will not go do the research to verify if its accurate. What ship did these so called African Slaves came on? which port did they leave from Africa? Who are the people? When did all of this happened? I have yet to find the answers to those but I did find out that not all Black people are from Africa. The people that they say are African Slaves that started the plantation is incorrect. Who are the Portuguese? Who are the Dutch/ British/French? They're not White, dont believe the hype. If Every single White men and women in America trace their History it leads back to Indentured Servitudes. Native American/Aboriginals/Europeans were in the Plantations not Africans.
Like als je van Suriname bent
Nice video, pretty informative. Would be cool if all five Guianas came together as one country. Would be one of the most culturally dynamic places on the planet. Not sure how thrilled Brazil, Venezuela, and France would be tho lol.

These countries are so different that it would cause problems they speak different languages drive on different side of the road those countries individually are very diverse

Great history content.
Just forgot to mention the strong Oil Exploration activity in Guyana which will change the economy of this area.
Goes to show the duality of modern society. Colonialism led to many tragedies that indigenous people are still healing from today. And yet, it led to the cross-pollination of different peoples scattered throughout the world. In recent years we celebrate diversity while at the same time acknowledging that yes, our ancestors sometimes did terrible things to other people. It's all we can do to reconcile our human history.
lol it led to cross pollination of only european cultures.
led to end of native american
We can't change the past. But we have to acknowledge what happened. The results of those actions we can still see today. The ethnic diversity of such places is, in my view, an incredible plus. Diversity brings in lots of ideas, and a flourishing society, if the people in charge can manage it correctly. But yes, you're right. the way we got here was through some truly terrible actions done by our ancestors.
@@koumei1709 Yes, in the Americas, the natives lost.. big time. All we can do today is acknowledge what happened, and try to do our best to preserve what's left.
@@koumei1709 no no there is one left and it is me
Keep in mind that some Native American peoples were extinct before the Europeans got to the New World.
I love Guyana, Suriname, & French Guinea.
In addition to Guyana and Suriname, a majority of Paraguayans speak a non-Latin language: the indigenous language Guarani.
A majority of Paraguayans speak TOO a non Latin language....
....Since I live in/on the Queens South Ozone Park/ Richmond Hill border, for around fifty five years; and lived through a Caribbean/West Indian migration to this area, that has taken place within the last thirty years or so; I find this information very interesting........They are even officially calling this area, little Guyana.......Anyway the natural forest part of this video, kind of made me think of my tree's up coming wedding this spring.....Shecame got intimately involved, with a tree named Hecame, a few months ago .....The branches of the trees, sometimes disattach from the trees, during rough weather...... Some get stuck in the trees, and are a little intangled; but eventually come down over time.......A risky situation for creatures and people walking by .....So I usually get my tools and ladder, and take down dangling branches.......Hecame and me became friends, and I let him date my tree Shecame......This spring, when Shecame grows her green leaves wedding dress in, she will have a wonderful wedding............This will be an incredible artwork, so stay tuned everyone.........
The Spanish, Portuguese, French, And Italians really did lots of misplacing I am shocked the Romanians also did not join in to tag team
Actually there were five originally. Spanish Guayana is now part of Venezuela and Portuguese Guayana is now part of Brazil.
finally i vid recommended on guyana my country what took u so long utube
Half of Suriname population leaves in Netherlands
Amapá and Roraima is the Brazilian Guyane 🇧🇷 kjjkk

Amapá yes, but Roraima is not a Guyana

Iai mam
My fellow Tainos/Arawaks! Hello from The Bahamas 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Yes. Why are there just 3 of them snd not 5? Why can't the part of Brazil which is in closer proximity to the Guyanas than to Brazil be a state named Portuguese Guyana. Or why can't they create a country out of a eastern strip of Venezuela (right next to the Guyanas) and call it Spanish Guiana? Why are those just 3 different countries when it could have been 5?
The 2 guianas you mentioned were already part of a larger colony. The only reason why Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana (France) are there as I is is because they were the only small chunks of land they can find, as most were taken by the Spanish and Portuguese. The Spanish and Portuguese did not see the need to create separate viceroyalties or colonies for the Guianas since the viceroyalties containing the Spanish and Portuguese Guianas were sufficient in size and did not need to be further subdivided.
7:29 It's not the only country outside of Europe where the majority of people speak Dutch. In Aruba and Curacao most people speak it too.
Lol even through i grew up in Mexico where they actually teach you geography i didnt realize those cou tries where there. They are so random tbh. Haha i was like what? Did i just get mandala effect? I dont remember there being countries between Venezuela and Brasil
Don't worry you not the first. My mother is Guyanese and I lived in what was British Guyana 🇬🇾 for 5 years from age 5 to 10. Every time I speak of Guyana to people they start prattling on about Ghana 🇬🇭??!!🙄😳 I have to get a map and educate people. Dunno nothing about Ghana mate. Never been.
The original spelling from years back is Guiana. British Dutch and French Guiana. After independence in 1966 British Guiana became Guyana and later in 1970 became the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.

Thank you for interesting review. Best wishes!
You could've told us about Amapá, the Brazilian Guiana too. Since you showed us It in the introduction
Love this documentary. Small details: it was not New Amsterdam, the Dutch traded, but New Holland, a complete country, with holds now 5 states, with its capital New Amsterdam, which was the most important trading hub in the Northern part of what is now USA and Canada.
There is a small towh in my counter named New Amsterdam in the County of Berbice
What they don´t tell on this video is how hot mus be the weather in these places
Heeeeeey I'm Guyanese. We ain't odd, we're just pristine and unique 😄🥰. By the way, its pronounced Guy-anna.
One thing to correct here...Guyana and Suriname are not the only countries in South America in which a non-Latin based language is widely spoken. Paraguay, with its almost universal Guaraní, has to be on the list. Probably Bolivia too.
Otherwise, this is a great video!
No, in Bolivia they speak quechua but mostly Spanish. Completely different language.
@@tube.brasil I don’t know how that makes my comment wrong. In Bolivia, there are many official languages, including Quechua, Aymara, Guarani, and Spanish. The point is that the video is incorrect in saying that Guyana and Suriname are the only countries in South America in which a non-Latin language is widely spoken.
@@Lobonikk you don't write as good and clear as you think, dude
@@sobrevalorado I’m not sure why you feel a need to criticize me here... The video says that Guyana and Suriname are the only two countries in South America “where a non-Latin-based language is widely spoken.” That’s not true.
Is that simple and clear enough for you?
@@prod.drewuplife3575 The video said that Guyana and Suriname are the only countries in South America where non-Latin languages are widely spoken. There’s no denying that Guaraní is widely spoken in Paraguay. (UN data states that 90% of Paraguayans speak Guaraní,, US State Department says it’s at least 80%. It’s known to be a bilingual nation.)
I’m surinamese🇸🇷 myself and don’t like people associating us with the Dutch. don’t like it that we also speak there language and people thinking that we don’t have our own language. We do have our own language, it’s called surinamese
I hope you understand I wasn't insinuating anything. I just presented some facts, but I'm by no means denying the existence of Surinamese culture.
Their are a few fauls in your report. It's correct that the Indian and Black slaves where used in the plantages but the people's from China or Java where used in Trade or Administratie of Suriname. Secondly Suriname isn't the only or Second place in the World outside of the Netherlands where the Dutch language is practised. The Second largest population is in South Africa and those are the Afrikaaner, the speak and write Dutch as well may it be a language used before the reforms of the Dutch language in the 17th until 20th century.
But Afrikaans is not Dutch
It is a sister language of Dutch
Huh? The Javanese worked on plantations, just like others. Just search up the history of Marienburg. The people in trade and administration are actually Indians and Creoles.
EDIT: Afrikaans is not Dutch.
You might have mentioned the big influx of Hmong people to Guyana from Laos following the Vietnam War.
Hope some research resulting in a documentary will be.
The former site of Jonestown in Guyana became a home for Hmong refugees.
