1. Noms et rivi\u00e8res :<\/strong>\u00a0Le nom \"Guyane\" vient du mot indien \"Guiana\", qui signifie \"le pays aux nombreux fleuves\". Les quatre plus longs fleuves de Guyane sont l'Essequibo, le Courantyne, le Berbice et le Demerara (l'Essequibo est le plus long).<\/p>\n

2. N\u00e9erlandais :<\/strong>\u00a0Dans les ann\u00e9es 1600, la Guyane est devenue une colonie hollandaise, o\u00f9 les Hollandais ont construit des syst\u00e8mes diesel pour g\u00e9rer les fleuves et \u00e9tablir l'agriculture.<\/p>\n

3. Britannique :<\/strong>\u00a0En 1815, les Britanniques ont pris le pouvoir en Guyane, ce qui a donn\u00e9 au pays le nom de Guyane britannique. Ce n'est qu'en 1966 que la Guyane a obtenu son ind\u00e9pendance vis-\u00e0-vis des Britanniques<\/p>\n

4. Composition de la population :<\/strong>\u00a0La population de la Guyane est principalement compos\u00e9e d'Indiens (Hindoustans\/Indiens de l'Est) et d'Africains (43,5% et 30,2% respectivement), tous descendants des esclaves amen\u00e9s dans le pays par les Hollandais et les Britanniques dans le pass\u00e9. S'y ajoutent des personnes d'ascendance mixte (16,7%) et des Indiens indig\u00e8nes (9,1%).<\/p>\n

5. La zone c\u00f4ti\u00e8re :<\/strong>\u00a0Environ 90% de la population de la Guyane vivent sur une partie \u00e9troite de la zone c\u00f4ti\u00e8re du pays, qui repr\u00e9sente environ 10% de la superficie totale du pays.<\/p>\n

Fait : En Guyane, le cricket est le sport le plus populaire en raison de la forte population indienne du pays et de son histoire en tant que colonie britannique.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Devise :<\/strong>\u00a0La devise nationale de la Guyane est : One People, One Nation, One Destiny\", qui signifie \"Un peuple, une nation, une destin\u00e9e\".<\/p>\n

7. For\u00eat tropicale :<\/strong>\u00a0Environ 70% de la superficie de la Guyane sont couverts par la for\u00eat tropicale.<\/p>\n

8. Drapeau :<\/strong>\u00a0Le drapeau de la Guyane est \u00e9galement appel\u00e9 \"The Golden Arrow Head\", ce qui signifie \"Le fer de lance en or\". Le drapeau est utilis\u00e9 depuis 1966, date \u00e0 laquelle la Guyane a obtenu son ind\u00e9pendance des Britanniques.<\/p>\n

9. Jim Jones :<\/strong>\u00a0Le 18 novembre 1978, le chef d'une secte religieuse am\u00e9ricaine, Jim Jones, s'est suicid\u00e9 avec ses 909 adeptes \u00e0 Jonestown, en Guyane. Cette trag\u00e9die a rendu le pays c\u00e9l\u00e8bre dans le monde entier<\/p>\n

10. Le sport :<\/strong>\u00a0Le sport le plus important en Guyane est le cricket et, dans les comp\u00e9titions internationales de cricket, le pays fait partie de l'\u00e9quipe de cricket des Indes occidentales, qui \u00e9tait autrefois l'\u00e9quipe la plus forte du monde.<\/p>\n
