Same with French Guyana, which is literally a colony of France and should probably gain independence.
It used to be the place were they would send prisoners to die basically.
Yes, but France also used it to invade and harass Brazil (1890s - 1970s). Only recently, since Macron and Lula da Silva seem to be friends, have they built a bridge between Brazil and the Colony.
