Burnham, (Linden) Forbes (Sampson)

    0.02 sec.

Burnham, (Linden) Forbes (Sampson) (1923-1985)

Guyanese Marxist-Leninist politician. He was prime minister from 1964 to 1980 in a coalition government, leading the country to independence in 1966 and declaring it the world's first cooperative republic in 1970. He was executive president 1980-85. Resistance to the US landing in Grenada 1983 was said to be due to his forewarning the Grenadans of the attack.

In 1950 he cofounded the People's Progressive Party with Cheddi Jagan, and in 1955 he founded the more moderate People's National Congress.
