Things are heating up between Venezuela and Guyana right now. The reason? Nicolás Maduro wants to reclaim Essequibo, a territory awarded to the British in 1899 following a “partial” decision by the judges of the time. Burdened by massive inflation, Venezuela needs to find other alternatives to get its economy back on track. And if that means the annexation of 2/3 of Guyana, where there are oil and other mineral resources, so be it.
