@niyanlan8928 short version is that we believe the terrotory is venezuela's to claim. Long version is that Venezuelans have been told growing up the territory of Guyana esequiba belongs to Venezuela, It's in every history textbook as a zone in reclamation. The history of that claim goes back centuries, the lines were drawn pretty arbitrarily by the British right over existing venezuelan territorial claims, and in further litigations we ended up being cheated out of that land in the early 1900s. My understanding is we had agreements with Guyana not to exploit the resources of the zone until the claims were resolved but the Guayanese government. Breached those agreements. That's why Venezuela is so pissy about it and could potentially go to war for it. Venezuelans don't know war and are right now in a horrible position so I doubt that would happen and we would just have to resign to the claim.

Indeed, finding resources after you already have stable institutions and a halfway decent economy is usually a good thing because new wealth can be reinvested into existing industries. While rich countries can occasionally get Dutch disease, this usually isn't as severe as it is in developing nations. A good example of how resource wealth works in rich nations would be Australia, which uses its resource wealth to find other parts of its economic engine.

It would have been incredibly unpopular to try and hold onto these islands that wanted the same thing as the people now in charge in Portugal, freedom and democracy. The dictatorship also ended because they wanted to hold on to Angola and Mozambique and were willing to do conscription to try and win these wars(that’s the whole reason the military revolted and started the Carnation revolution) I think they could have been better off within Portugal but it’s ultimately their choice to make.

They'd likely end up sharing the burden with the Canaries for being swarmed by British tourists. Sao Tome is more interesting though. I feel like the best parallel for them would be Reunion and Mauritius, which much like Sao Tome were uninhabited volcanic islands that became exhibit A plantation economies. Reunion to this day is still French, and benefitted immensely from the collapse of the French empire and became a major cultural center for Frenchmen leaving mainland Africa. I think it's the wealthiest French overseas area today, but don't quote me on that. Either way, I feel like the two Portuguese island colonies would've benefited far more from remaining Portuguese than becoming independent, given they didn't have any of the wars or instability related to their independence like Angola/Mozambique and unlike those two are far more culturally/ethnically Portuguese.

Another issue that most oil rich countries struggle with comes with value added to raw goods. Usually mineral deficient countries convert those goods into something more finished and eventually sell it back to the mineral rich countries, obviously putting them at a deficit. Oil should be used to fund education in which more research can be done with the resources that they have.

I like the DuPont cameo

You don't understand the difference between currencies, the problem is not actually the level of spending or revenues, is the balance of payments. High dependant on commodities exportation countries tend to suffer periodic collapses of its BoP (meaning recession) because they rely heavy on imports and used to artificially maintain a low exchange rate which prompts purchasing power of the local currency and this disrupts the BoP even further

Canary islands reached their saturation point for tourism with the 17 million tourists per year. I can imagine that they coordinate with cape verde to receive 5-7 milion of these tourists
