00:00Why is the Guyane part of France when she is in the South America?
00:03It's a question that many people ask.
00:06And yet, the answer is simple.
00:08The Guyane is not a colony, it's a French department.
00:11Like the Martinique or the Réunion,
00:13she is part of the Republic.
00:15She votes in elections, uses the euro,
00:18and the French president is also president.
00:20But then, why is this small portion of the South America
00:23belongs to France?
00:24Everything comes to the 17th century,
00:27when the Europeans disputed the lands of the Nouveau Monde.
00:30The French were installed in 1643,
00:33and despite the conflicts, the France preserved this portion of the territory.
00:37Today, the Guyane is the largest French department,
00:40covered at 90% by the Amazonian forest.
00:43And it's also there that we find Kourou,
00:46the European space space where the satellites are launched.
00:49So yes, it's at 7000 km from Paris,
00:52but it's well and well France.
