1888 CE to 1899 CE

A border dispute between French Guiana and Brazil arises in the late nineteenth century over a vast area of jungle, resulting in the short-lived, pro-French, independent state of Counani in the disputed territory.

There is some fighting among settlers.

The dispute is resolved largely in favor of Brazil by the arbitration of the Swiss government.
