Suriname gained independence from the Netherlands on November 25, 1975. It was a peaceful process, with Dutch consent, that seemed a natural outcome of the Charter for the Kingdom of the Netherlands [Statuut voor het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden]. Enacted in 1954, the Charter granted Suriname a limited form of self-government, with the Netherlands retaining control of defense and foreign affairs.

∙ 14y agoGenerally Suriname was known as Dutch Guiana until gaining independence on November 25, 1975. But the name within the country already was Suriname. Suriname is the Dutch spelling and reflects the pronunciation in Dutch as 'syri-nameh'.
Surinam is the spelling by the English settlers who founded the first colony at Marshall's Creek along the Suriname River in 1630. The name of the country is thought to come from the name of a group called Surinen who lived in the area before the arrival of Europeans.

∙ 14y agoIn 1973, the local government, led by the NPK (a ethnically mixed party) started negotiations with the Dutch government leading towards full independence, which was granted on 25 November 1975. The severance package was very substantial, and a large part of Suriname's economy for the first decade following independence was fueled by foreign aid provided by the Dutch government. The first President of the country was Johan Ferrier, with Henck Arron as Prime Minister. Nearly one third of the population of Suriname emigrated to the Netherlands in the years leading up to independence, as many feared that the new country would fare worse under independence than it did as an overseas colony of the Netherlands.
