In 1809 a Portuguese-British naval squadron took Guinana from the French. They gave it back in 1814...but what if they hadn't? Suppose the Portuguese had decided to let Britain keep Guinea to keep out the French, and it became a British colony?
Would it have been possible for Britain to use Guiana as a base to expand further into South America, perhaps say after Brazilian independence in 1822 (perhaps Dom Pedro forms an alliance with Great Britain, or dies early)?
What would South America (or a good portion of it) have looked like under British rule?
