Stamps from Belize

Belize (formerly British Honduras) is a country in Central America. It is a member of the British Commonwealth and has British King Charles III as its head of state. The country borders Mexico to the northwest, Guatemala to the south and west and the Caribbean Sea to the east.

The country was inhabited by Mayans before the arrival of the Spanish. In the 17th century the area was colonized by British timber traders and pirates.

As British Honduras, it formally became a British colony in 1840, even though it was claimed by Mexico and Guatemala. Hurricane Hattie caused a lot of damage to Belize in 1961. The government then decided that the location of the capital Belize City below sea level posed too many risks. After a few years, the new capital Belmopan was designed, in the precise geographical center of the country. The relocation of government buildings began in the 1970s.

In 1964, British Honduras was granted internal self-government and in June 1973 it was renamed Belize. However, effective authority remained in the hands of the governor from Great Britain. The People's United Party, led by George Cadle Price, led the independence movement. On September 21, 1981, after delays due to territorial disputes with Guatemala, Belize became independent from the United Kingdom. The new state continued to experience border conflicts. There was even a British garrison left behind. It wasn't until 1991 that Guatemala recognized Belize. However, until now there is a border dispute between the two countries. Many Guatemalan maps depict Belize (or part of it) as a department of Guatemala.

On January 20, 2005, unrest broke out due to tax increases.

Belize (vroeger Brits-Honduras) is een land in Centraal-Amerika. Het is lid van het Britse Gemenebest en heeft als staatshoofd de Britse koning Charles III. Het land grenst aan Mexico in het noordwesten, aan Guatemala in het zuiden en westen en aan de Caribische Zee in het oosten.

Het land werd voor de komst van de Spanjaarden bewoond door Maya's. In de 17e eeuw werd het gebied door Britse houthandelaren en piraten gekoloniseerd.

Het werd als Brits-Honduras in 1840 formeel een Britse kolonie, ook al werd er aanspraak op gemaakt door Mexico en Guatemala. De orkaan Hattie bracht in 1961 veel schade in Belize. De regering besloot daarop dat de ligging van de hoofdstad Belize City onder zeeniveau te veel risico's met zich meebracht. Na enkele jaren was de nieuwe hoofdstad Belmopan ontworpen, in het precieze geografische centrum van het land. In de jaren zeventig werd met de verhuizing van regeringsgebouwen begonnen.

In 1964 kreeg Brits-Honduras intern zelfbestuur en in juni 1973 kreeg het de naam Belize. Het effectieve gezag bleef echter in handen van de gouverneur uit Groot-Brittannië. De People's United Party, onder leiding van George Cadle Price, was leider van de onafhankelijkheidsbeweging. Op 21 september 1981, na vertragingen vanwege territoriale geschillen met Guatemala, werd Belize onafhankelijk van het Verenigd Koninkrijk. De nieuwe staat bleef grensconflicten kennen. Er bleef zelfs een Brits garnizoen achter. Het duurde tot 1991 voordat Guatemala Belize erkende. Tot heden is er echter een grensdispuut tussen beide landen. Op veel Guatemalteekse kaarten is Belize (of een deel ervan) als departement van Guatemala afgebeeld.

Op 20 januari 2005 brak er onrust uit, vanwege belastingverhogingen.
