Why did Guyana, France's largest colony, voluntarily give up its independence after World War II?

In the history of modern war, France has always been a powerful country in the western lineup, and its aggressive ambition is obvious. It has developed colonies and many territories for countries all over the world. Later, with the end of World War II, France gradually became low-key and honest. When many colonies declared independence, why did French Guiana, a colony overseas, choose to give up independence?

French Guiana itself is a region located on the northern coast of South America. Now it is an overseas province of France, with an area of about 86,504 square miles and a population of only about 240,000. In the face of the law of the jungle, some powerful countries can make French Guiana unable to resist with their fingers. At this time, they need a backer most, and that is France. I chose France mainly because France is a powerful country with prosperous economy, and I was a colony of France before. If France had been defeated and impoverished in World War II, it is estimated that French Guiana would have left France long ago when she had the right to choose freely.

French Guiana was once independent, but it was no match for the US military. It was not until the Second World War that it became a colony of France. After the war, French colonies all over the world jumped out to declare their independence. At that time, French Guiana followed the trend and considered independence. The important reason is that although French Guiana is a colony, it has been squeezed by the other side and cannot get fair treatment and welfare for its residents. Later, France did not dare to show its fascist face in front of all countries in the world, so it had to let these colonies go out independently, but it was not reconciled, so it began to remedy it with various benefits.

Soon after, France found French Guiana and said that as long as it did not leave France, it would be upgraded to an overseas province of France. French people can enjoy the same benefits as French Guiana, and they can also vote in the French National Assembly. After consideration and discussion, French Guiana may think that if it goes out independently, it will become a very small country and have no place in the world. In the end, they gave up their right to independence and officially became a province of France. Although this reason is embarrassing, it is indeed a wise choice.

Due to the geographical environment, it is difficult for French Guiana to develop its industry. Most residents always rely on fishing, agriculture and mining mineral resources to earn their income. The French side has always fulfilled its promise to give equal treatment to French people in French Guiana, and implemented free compulsory education in this area for 10 years. France is fully responsible for security and defense, so the French military has stationed 3000 soldiers and 600 gendarmes in French Guiana. In addition, the European Space Agency, located in French Guiana, purchased 90,600 square kilometers of land from them and established a space launch center, which was mainly used to develop some launch vehicles and related experiments.

In addition, the unemployment rate in French Guiana is extremely high. Although there are a large number of aluminum mines, iron mines and gold mines underground, and oil is also detected in the nearby waters, it is difficult to exploit them in large quantities because of backward development and lack of technology. However, thanks to the French thigh, with the support of the big bosses, this small place in South America is said to have a per capita GDP of1.2000 US dollars. Due to the welfare of France, the local people use the euro and use French as the official language, and the happiness index of life is much higher than that of other countries in the United States.

In recent years, French Guiana people have a stronger sense of identity with France. Because the European Space Launch Center is located here, it attracts many foreigners to visit every year, so French Guiana people gradually attach importance to the development of tourism. In this regard, France may value their willingness to give up sovereignty and choose to join their own country, thus appearing as considerate as taking care of their younger brother. French Guiana also understands that if they choose independence, it means losing a lot of aid and subsidies from a powerful country, so it is very cost-effective for them to give up independence.
