00:00But why France has such a Guyane in South America,
00:03at more than 6.000 km from its continent?
00:06This land is known as the name of the Guyane Francaise,
00:10and to understand why it is always part of France,
00:13we have to go back to the 19th century.
00:15At this time, France had controlled the Guyane Francaise for 200 years,
00:20using it as a colony where she sent its criminals to do a force work,
00:24completely isolated from the continent.
00:26As it turned out to not work very well for France,
00:30this system was finally completely abolished.
00:33At this time, the Guyane Francaise became an outside-mer department of France,
00:38which, essentially, offered the same status as the countries of the continent.
00:43The inhabitants obtained the French citizenship,
00:45and for the most part, they adopted the French nationality.
00:49In fact, when they asked if they wanted more autonomy within France,
00:52an ecrasant 70% of the population had rejected this idea,
00:57demand rather a closer relationship with the country.
01:00So, I suppose that it is clear that the Guyane Francaise
01:03does not separate from France as soon as possible.
