Guadeloupe is an archipelago located in the Leeward Islands, in the Lesser Antilles. It is the first overseas region of France, consisting of a single overseas department. As with the other overseas departments, Guadeloupe is also one of the twenty-six regions of France (being an overseas region) and an integral part of the Republic since 2007.
As part of France, Guadeloupe is part of the European Union; hence, as for most EU countries, its currency is the euro. However, Guadeloupe is not part of the Schengen Area. The prefecture and the capital of Guadeloupe is Basse-Terre. Christopher Columbus named the island Santa María de Guadalupe in 1493 after the Virgin Mary, venerated in the Spanish town of Guadalupe, in Extremadura.
Guadeloupe in The Two Georges[]
Guadeloupe was a possession of the Holy Alliance.[1]
Guadeloupe in Worldwar[]
Literary comment[]
Guadeloupe's role in Worldwar is undefined. The Colonization map suggests that Guadeloupe is not a Race colony. However, as France is under German domination until 1965, it may be that Guadeloupe was under some sort of German oversight. The issue isn't addressed.
