Which European people took control of Suriname in the late 1600s?
The Dutch gained control of Suriname in 1667. In the 1620s to 1630s the Dutch West India Company had set up trading posts in the New World, including Suriname. The Dutch, along with the English, began setting up plantation colonies in Suriname in the 17th century.
How did the Dutch get Suriname?
It is through the provisions of the Treaty of Breda that the Dutch got Suriname.Specifically, the treaty was signed on July 31, 1667 in the Dutch city of Breda.

Why is Dutch the official language of Suriname?
The Netherlands is the source of the official language of Suriname. Dutch speakers from the Netherlands began settling the subsequent Republic in the 17th century. The area previously had been explored by speakers of Spanish, French, and English in the 16th century. But it was English and then Dutch language speakers who settled the country which they linked to their respective homelands by way of plantation economies. In the aftermath of the Treaty of Breda of July 31, 1667, the Dutch lost their foothold in the subsequent state of New York and gained it in Suriname. As a consequence, the official language of Suriname came to be Dutch, and not English.

Did new Amsterdam last more than or less than 50 years?
It's still there, after more than 400 years ! It's just that they changed the name after a while, so you probably don't recognize it now. New York City is the current name of New Amsterdam. The name of the city changed when the Dutch colony was given to the English in exchange for the English colony of Suriname, which was given to the Dutch. (Suriname was considered more valuable at the time since it had the ideal conditions for sugarcane growth.) The length of usage for the name "New Amsterdam", though, was only 40 years.
What do you call the night before?
The eve, e.g. the night before New Years Day is New Years Eve.
