==Immigration into COUNTRY== | |||
Historically dominated by the Lokono and Kalina tribes, Guyana was colonized by the Dutch before coming under British control in the late 18th century. It was governed as British Guiana, with a mostly plantation-style economy until the 1950s. It gained independence in 1966, and officially became a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations in 1970. The legacy of British rule is reflected in the country's political administration and diverse population, which includes Indian, African, Amerindian, Chinese, Portuguese, other European, and various multiracial groups. | Historically dominated by the Lokono and Kalina tribes, Guyana was colonized by the Dutch before coming under British control in the late 18th century.
