The challenge is to have both the USA and French agree to the sale of French Guiana to the Americans with a PoD of 1880 and any circumstances you should wish - is this possible ?

Only if the us and france go to war and the us occuppies the territory, with the 'purchase' being a recognition of a fait accompli.
Of course, getting the us to be able to defeat France at sea... maybe the us and uk ally against France and ?Spain? And the us gets french guiana and martinique as spoils while britain gets frances other colonies in africa and asia?
Hmm.. or maybe France simply cant pay off wwi debts, say, and the us takes her american territory in recompense?

Remember, for a while there, French Guiana includes what is now the Brazilian State of Amapa, all the way to the Jari River. Portugal gave Amapa to Napoleon and France finally gave Amapa to Brazil at some point in the early 20th Century.
