Great Britain governed British Guiana, now known as Guyana, as a colony from the early 19th century until its independence in 1966. The colony was administered through a system of appointed governors and a legislative council, which included both British officials and local representatives. The governance structure was characterized by British colonial policies, including the exploitation of its resources and the use of indentured labor, primarily from India, after the abolition of slavery in 1834. Over time, rising nationalist movements and demands for greater self-governance led to a gradual increase in local political representation.
