After gaining independence in 1966, Guyana faced several historical challenges that affected its political, economic and social development. One of the main challenges was the ethnic tension between the Indo-Guyanese majority and the Afro-Guyanese minority, which manifested itself in political and social conflicts, as well as in the polarization of society.

Another major challenge was managing the economy, which was largely based on the production of sugar and other agricultural products. Guyana's economy suffered from a high dependence on a single product, making it vulnerable to changes in global prices and fluctuations in demand.

Furthermore, corruption and government mismanagement were persistent problems that affected the country's political stability and economic development. These challenges were compounded by external factors, such as the global economic crisis and geopolitical pressures during the Cold War.

In summary, the major historical challenges faced by Guyana after independence included ethnic tension, economic governance, corruption and political instability, which have had a lasting impact on the country's development.
