Guadeloupe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1741 words) |
 | Guadeloupe was populated from 300 BC by the Arawak Amerindians, who fished and developed agriculture on the island. |
 | One indication of Guadeloupe's prosperity at this time is that in the Treaty of Paris (1763), France, defeated in war, accepted to abandon its territorial claims in Canada in return for British recognition of French control of Guadeloupe. |
