France is still a colonial power though they rarely seems to getting as much flak as their island rival. It leads to some fun facts like “EUs largest national park is in the Amazon rainforest” and “France is the country with the most timezones (13)”.
Forgive my ignorance in geography…what are the English/Dutch/French countries to the north of Brazil?
Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana
Thank you!
And French Guiana is not a country, just a region of France
Huh, so it’s one of those relics of colonialism that didn’t eventually end up independent then.
Also really weird to learn they use the Euro there lol
