The islands were first lived on by Arawak Native Americans, but they were wiped out when Europeans came. Guadeloupe was first governed by France. It was then taken over by England, given to Sweden, and given back to France.
Today, most of the people in Guadeloupe are Roman Catholic, and are of African descent.
