No. Under British rule, it was called Gambia Colony and Protectorate.

The guinea countries were:

  1. British Guinea, now Papua New Guinea
  2. Danish Guinea,now Ghana, West Africa
  3. Dutch Guinea, now Indonesian Papua
  4. French Guinea, now the Republic of Guinea
  5. German Guinea, another name for the former colonies of Kamerun and Togoland in West Africa
  6. German Guinea, now Papua New Guinea
  7. Portuguese Guinea, now Guinea-Bissau
  8. Spanish Guinea, now Equatorial Guinea
  9. Swedish Guinea, now Ghana, West Africa


Today there are only 4 Guinea countries:

  1. Papua New Guinea
  2. Guinea-Bissau
