Generally, the phrase "race relations" refers to how well people of different races agree or disagree within a society. As most countries throughout the world have different races in their populations, race relations are an important issue in most nations. How are race relations in your country? Do people of different races get along? This idea of race relations is explained pretty easily by the history of Guyana. Guyana is a country in northern South America, along the Caribbean coast. Throughout its history, people from all over the world have come to live there. These people come from dramatically different backgrounds: Native American, European, African and Indian. Guyana's history is a story of how those groups have lived together, sometimes agreeing, and sometimes disagreeing violently.

Timeline Our Host - Rootsweb! The native peoples of the South American continent were first visited by the Spanish in their global quest for gold and riches. The Spanish were searching in Guiana when the Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh visited the country in 1595. Raleiegh wrote a travelogue of his visit entitled "The Discovery of Guiana". The word "discover", in this case means his own personal discovery and not that he was the first European to discover Guiana.. Having found no riches, the Spanish left the territory for others to explore. In the ensuing years, the rule of the territory would bounce between the Dutch, French, and English. Many online accounts of the earliest years can be found online, as well as many copies of Raleigh's travelogue account of his visit to this area. How did the territory currently referred to as "Guyana" get it's name?
