wauw, amazing, as someone who is a history nerd from Suriname, you got everything right, which is something not many people achieve, not even historians of my country. well done
I'm also Dutch. My dad was on a geological mission for 2 years in Suriname. He lived in the city amongst the people instead of the enclaves that were popular amongst westerners. He has many stories about the great times he had there and the people were really friendly.
As someone who is Surinamese I am so happy that you made this video! Every time I mention to people outside of the Netherlands that my family is from Suriname they usually have never heard of the country before. Thanks so much for making this 💛🇸🇷
I made this video with the help of those that commented other interesting facts about Suriname in my prior video on the country. I also tried to correct any of the mistakes I made in that one. I apologize for any mispronunciations in this video. Past video on Suriname - "The Strange Demographics of Suriname" - ruclips.net/video/55XArVdnVec/видео.html
@@IronMan-ed9vg I displayed a map showing the disputed territories. If I purposely show the disputed territories as belonging to one country or another I am being biased.
And recently they found oil in the ocean (north of Suriname). So hopefully in 10-15 years this will pay off to the Surinam people. I did my Masters in California and some people there thought Suriname was in Asia or Africa… They also thought the Netherlands was a city in Denmark. I’ve never met so many people with no geographic knowledge…

How nice that you payed attention to this beautiful country and it's special popupation! I'm Dutch, my wife is from Suriname and we thank you for this!
Visited Surinam twice for work. Amazing country, amazing people.. And most of all THE FOOD is amazing, so many different options and they all taste great.
Are you sure ? Becauase some Suriname people Who are living in the Netherlands are different. Maby not all, But i have seen a hole other Suriname in the Netherlands.
@@findersluck5694 I don't know about those who are living in the Netherlands but those whom I meet in Suriname they are really great in terms of friendliness..........
Thanks for highlighting my birth country, Suriname is an amazing place full of rich culture and experiences, so revisiting the past to better understand the present was great.
Nice to see people speak about our unknown country, it is a beautifull country with very generous people. A lot of Surinames people live in The Netherlands
Why are so many? As a Dutch woman I live my whole life in the Netherlands and from what I see is that, Suriname is more beautiful in land, lesser pace in everyday life, whether much much better, people more friendlier and much more in connection with nature.... 🤷🏼♀️ As Im writing this, its occur to me that I may spend my old days there 😆
@@janetvanladesteijn5951 If only life was that simple... Su is beautiful and the people are as well, but in the 70's and 80's the country had not much to offer to the people, so poverty and lack of opporunities drove many to the Netherlands, which they considered as their own country and they were right.
I am Dutch,and i can honestly say,people from Suriname fit in just great here😇,there are a lot of them here. Friendly,nice food😊,and goodlooking men🥰.Love their culture❤️
Suriname has the best food in South America, maybe even the world. The people are amazing, nature is impeccable. Nice resorts, nice capital. It’s a great country to visit for a few weeks!
Friendly people, great food and great countyside to explore. The history is very important and can serve as a blueprint for bigger issues on a wider scale. My dad is from Indonesia so i always find it very easy to connect to the culture of the people of suriname. And i always get credit by the elder ppl that i can eat their home made spicy sambal and enjoy it :D. Rule is, most are not rich but they always have food and they always ALWAYS share. I love it!

As per the late historian Andre Loor, there never was an native tribe called surinen. Please check his book Suriname 1850 - 1950 where he discusses this topic
Suriname has a haa 163.820 km2 , the Capital is Paramaribo has 609.569 inhabitants ( 2020). A lot of recources, oil gas, bauxiet, marine fish, lots of nature, lots of wild birds, wild animals, plants, trees in AmazoneJungle, many rivers with fresh water fishes, mountains, waterfalls, eg, indigenous people, marrons, a beautiful country with their own culturen, dance, songs, kitchen/meals, drinks, diverse klederdrachten, tradional costumes,, friendly people. and a sunny land in the tropic, month September, Oktober, November, December and a very big firework end of the end on December 31 during the day, with a lot of happy Surinamese and other people to gether a big party.
Check the story of the Winhuk, the German merchant/liner ship that escaped to Brazil in the outbreak of the war. the crew staid from 30-44 pretty much at ease until Brazil entered the war and the crew was set to a "Brazil prisoner camp". The ship band was the best in town, and after the war many staid in Brazil and opened what is still to this day one of the best German restaurant in Brazil and basically still following the ships. menu.
Im a surinamese and some of this stuff I didn’t even know lol. Nice to learn new things about my country and thanks for talking about a Country so little 🇸🇷💞
How would you define most deforested? Most times, biggest area, comparitive to it's size? Not saying the Netherlands might not win (quite a number of complete deforestations) but I'm also not sure on the deforestation numbers of other countries.
@@bastiaan4129 iirc it was the percentage of forested land that has been cut down. It was something like 95% of the dutch original forested land area is gone. Basically all contemporary forests here are planted
@@jezusbloodie what are original forests though? A large part of their teritorium has been reclaimed from the ocean or is below sea-level, at what point has that been original forests? If we are talking about the eastern part of their country, it still has a lot of forests, but the south and the north do not really have a lot left.
@@pepin8277 the name Holland literally comes from old nordic/germanic for Woodland. Only roughly 17% of dutch land area is reclaimed. Below sealevel doesnt mean that trees cant grow there. Basically all forests in the east or elsewhere here are planted.
@@pepin8277 Once I've red a quote about the Dutch shipping history and how the glory days caused deforrestation in Holland. It mentioned "The days before the boom in ship building, when squirrels still could travel from Utrecht to Den Haag by treetop higway". That does refere to the western part.
yoo thats my country thank you for making this video i dont see alot of videos of my country, i just finisht wachting ur vid from suriname from 3 months ago lol
Suriname is awesome!! Happy that we are now resuming aid to the country, I hope the Netherlands and Suriname can have friendly relations in the future :)
Great video. I’m from Suriname and all your information is legit🙏🏾 From the bottom of my heart i want to say thank you for reviewing my country🙏🏾❤️ Love and support from Suriname ❤️🇸🇷 🇸🇷🇸🇷
If you’re from Suriname 🇸🇷,then you can’t like the video,that starts with false information of our country Map! The Map he’s using is not the right one!
@@IronMan-ed9vg what was shown was factual. The areas are disputed, and was a correction from a prior video. I don’t make videos to push an agenda of a particular country. I understand your view point but there are multiple sides to the dispute and I am not taking a side in my videos. Edit: I’m not sure you can tell but that was a Dutch map showing the disputed territories. It wasn’t shaded dark green but it did lightly color in the topography. So at the time of it being published it was made by your own government, not me.
What would have happened if Suriname had chosen to remain a colony in this modern age of equality, would the Netherlands have been obliged to invest in Suriname so the prosperity would be equal to that of the Netherland?
No they wouldn't have had to. The Charter of the Kingdom of the Netherlands states that every country within the Kingdom is equal. The stronger or wealthier parts should support the weaker or poorer parts. That is very vague. To see how it would be, just look at how they treat the countries of Aruba, Curacao and Sint Maarten. The Netherlands was very stingy, to say it bluntly, to come in with financial help on these islands. Eventually these countries had to take loans from the Netherlands, in which the Netherlands has a lot of say in how it should be used. It caused a lot of strain on the relationship and Sint Maarten sort of even "sued" the Netherlands via the UN, for acting neo-colonialist. Now I understand why the Dutch want some control over the money, because sometimes the islands, haven't been financially responsible with the handeling of money. So they want the assurance that their money won't be wasted. Even when we were a country within the Kingdom they weren't willing to invest in Suriname.
Awesome Country! Lived there for a year and a half in the 1980s. Back when it was real. No cell phones, just really great people to talk to. Going into the bush was quite the experience. The Cayman didn’t worry me, the piranha no problem, most of the snakes were evadable but intimidating, the monkeys were butt heads. The big cats were worrisome, but two things drove me crazy down there. The big assed spiders, and I don’t know what the hell it was but while in a rubber duck/raft, I saw something roll in the water that had to be 10 to 15 feet long because it just kept rolling right next to us and as big around as my thigh. We were deep in the jungle and the water is like tea so you can’t see down into it or you’d probably piss yourself. Anyway, I never found out what that thing was, and I’m good with that. I’ve rambled enough, Suriname is great!
There’s a Surinamese film on YT called “Wan Pipel” (One People) about the tensions between the Indian and African communities in Surinam. It plays out via the romantic choices an African-Surinamese man makes between his Dutch and Indian Surinamese girlfriends. It was made in 1976. I saw it many years ago on TV in the UK. It’s a really good film, highly recommended, with English subtitles.
Thank you so much for making and sharing this video. Mostly of the people across don't know anything about Suriname. I have even met people who doesn't even know that there is a country in South America named Suriname. I'm glad seeing my country getting famous I must say... Thank you so much. 💓
THANK YOU ! Geography Geek ! I only spent my Youth in SURINAME. After decades I have Discovered Myself that there is a secret 'Power' in the National Anthem. Sincerely YOURS, LUV YOU ! ( Do GOOD and don't look back )
I found out about Suriname when l was visiting Holland in 1983 while in the US Air Force stationed in England. I had met a girl from there named Astrid, very beautiful
I am Dutch-Surinamese, my parents stayed in the Netherlands after independence. Its funny how more English speakers are getting interested in Surinam history. The Netherlands are amazing but our institutions should do a better job with this side of history and also in general. Especially outside of the bigger cities certain native Dutch people feel like Dutch people with a colonial background aren't really Dutch because they are black or a other a ethnicity while these were historically all born under the Dutch flag (pre-independance). What they are forgetting is that their are also white people with a Colonial background which they do recognize exposing the hypocrisy. And these have a carribean mentality so they expose that openly.
It goes both ways. In school we had 2 brothers from Suriname but the coloured people did not accept them as being Surinamese at firtst since they were too white. Digging into history can realy enrich peoples views, as long as we don't turn a blind to the dark sides of our nations. (And we Dutch have a fair share of dark history.)
@@hotdognl70 Yes but that isn't institutionally and white Surinamese are recognized as an official ethnicity (de boeroes). But within the Netherlands we are not officially recognized as a 'Dutch ethnicity' we are 'allochtoon' which is strange as most Surinamese always had a Dutch nationality as first and only (being part of the kingdom, also goes for Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire, Sint Maarten), not different than 'native, white Dutch people'. Wether that is racism or not, or just the system being outdated within that view is up for debate. Not only that we are 'non-western allochtonen' but that is very contradicting, because someone from the USA is considered a 'western allochtoon' but does that also go for black people from the USA, specifically the 'foundational black Americans who are their just as long as the' foundational white Americans'? Because how come that a black American be considered a 'western allochtoon' whole not even knowing about Dutch culture, while Black Surinamese people and culture is a product of the Dutch kingdom. Dutch is still our 1st official language, culturally and economically, yet institutionally we are being very disenfranchised from official Dutch recognition as being considered allochtone like that relationship in history means nothing. And if Black Americans aren't considered non Western and White Americans 'are' than that is up for debate as well. It's gives a Subliminal message to our society that being 'Black' or Afro-centric means your are 'not really Dutch' or it's purely a 'foreign or exotic' thing, non-western by default. While Dutch culture as many outside influences. Sinterklaas isn't a Dutch event either and Black Pete is just a late made up interpretation based on black the servant or demon but for no reason chose to give him negroid characteristics, and even slavery wasn't an excuse because why did other countries who also have St Nicholas day didn't adapt it in the same way even if the servant is black (till this day, other fully painted black servants still look totally different and looks more like Judeo Christian demon) But our race relations will always have some issues, even Surinamese people don't always get along. The Creoles and the Marrons can have common social conflicts and can be very discriminative towards eachother while these are both African descendant groups. So it's not about being perfect, and I do think some are just too much into victimhood mentality, but our institutions could do a better job. Thanks for replying, have a nice day🙏🏽
@@hotdognl70 nu laat je zien dat het je niet boeit en dat je het Subliminaal probeert te bagatelliseren door mijn punt te vergelijken met '2 boeroes in je klas die niet geaccepteerd werden' tegenover iets veel gecompliceerder. Dit komt ook precies terug op het punt dat ik maak dat je dus nu niet wilt lezen. DIT IS ALWEER ALINEA 2😡; Boeroes zijn geaccepteerd als officiële ethniciteit onder Surinaams cultuur, maar andersom erkend de Nederlandse institutie en cultuur de Surinamers niet als authentiek aan Nederland. Dit resulteert dan ook dat in NL sommige Surinaamse jongeren het concept van een witte Surinamers niet kennen omdat NL institutie zich probeert los te houden van die relatie (maar dit NL ook met zijn geschiedenis in het algemeen). Maar sorry hoor je doet echt als een wijf die discussie of een goed feitelijk debat uit de weg wilt gaan. Lees gewoon mijn vorige comment. 🤷🏽♂️😑. Je hebt alleen maar laten zien dat je amikale lul wilt zijn.
@@SAsaiyajin Ik was benieuwd naar jouw punt, het was alleen erg veel tekst. Je erg lange tenen zijn jouw probleem, daar stoor ik mij niet aan.

Great video. I’m from Suriname and all your information is legit🙏🏾
From the bottom of my heart i want to say thank you for reviewing my country🙏🏾❤️
Love and support from Suriname ❤️🇸🇷 🇸🇷🇸🇷
Thank you for watching! I'm happy I was able to make such a well received video on Suriname!
If you’re from Suriname 🇸🇷,then you can’t like the video,that starts with false information of our country Map! The Map he’s using is not the right one!
@@IronMan-ed9vg what was shown was factual. The areas are disputed, and was a correction from a prior video. I don’t make videos to push an agenda of a particular country. I understand your view point but there are multiple sides to the dispute and I am not taking a side in my videos.
Edit: I’m not sure you can tell but that was a Dutch map showing the disputed territories. It wasn’t shaded dark green but it did lightly color in the topography. So at the time of it being published it was made by your own government, not me.
@@IronMan-ed9vg did you watch the whole video?? Cuz if you did you’d never say this, he explained everything (according to my level of understanding)
I'm from Suriname, thanks for the video, Suriname is very underrated 👏👏👏
A country I learned about in Prep school and was always fascinated by its position and culture .
Aaw ,that means alott to us ,we want to make our country more known around the world
Can we talk about the way he pronouce the names its so good
jamang,i love seeing video's like these about our beloved country🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
What would have happened if Suriname had chosen to remain a colony in this modern age of equality, would the Netherlands have been obliged to invest in Suriname so the prosperity would be equal to that of the Netherland?
Neighbouring French Guiana (like Martinique and Guadeloupe) does prefer to stay a colony.
@@Blaqjaqshellaq France is less of a wellfare state than the Netherlands. (Scandinavia even more wellfare)
@@Zero-oh8vm really? Have you ever seen poverty ridden Saba?
@@apeman9238 I see you're right, 40% of Netherlands Carribean inhabitants earns under the minimum wage.
No they wouldn't have had to. The Charter of the Kingdom of the Netherlands states that every country within the Kingdom is equal. The stronger or wealthier parts should support the weaker or poorer parts. That is very vague. To see how it would be, just look at how they treat the countries of Aruba, Curacao and Sint Maarten. The Netherlands was very stingy, to say it bluntly, to come in with financial help on these islands. Eventually these countries had to take loans from the Netherlands, in which the Netherlands has a lot of say in how it should be used. It caused a lot of strain on the relationship and Sint Maarten sort of even "sued" the Netherlands via the UN, for acting neo-colonialist.
Now I understand why the Dutch want some control over the money, because sometimes the islands, haven't been financially responsible with the handeling of money. So they want the assurance that their money won't be wasted. Even when we were a country within the Kingdom they weren't willing to invest in Suriname.
I'm from the US but grew up partly in Suriname. I learned quite a bit from this video.
Awesome Country! Lived there for a year and a half in the 1980s. Back when it was real. No cell phones, just really great people to talk to. Going into the bush was quite the experience. The Cayman didn’t worry me, the piranha no problem, most of the snakes were evadable but intimidating, the monkeys were butt heads. The big cats were worrisome, but two things drove me crazy down there. The big assed spiders, and I don’t know what the hell it was but while in a rubber duck/raft, I saw something roll in the water that had to be 10 to 15 feet long because it just kept rolling right next to us and as big around as my thigh. We were deep in the jungle and the water is like tea so you can’t see down into it or you’d probably piss yourself. Anyway, I never found out what that thing was, and I’m good with that. I’ve rambled enough, Suriname is great!
Probably an Anaconda snake.
Great to see people talking about my home country 🤎🇸🇷

Nice 👍🏽 very informative as specially about the Aluminium production story the name of the industry was " Alcoa Suralco" at Paranam mining 🇸🇷👍🏽
nice to hear about Suriname is a country where i live
There’s a Surinamese film on YT called “Wan Pipel” (One People) about the tensions between the Indian and African communities in Surinam.
It plays out via the romantic choices an African-Surinamese man makes between his Dutch and Indian Surinamese girlfriends. It was made in 1976. I saw it many years ago on TV in the UK.
It’s a really good film, highly recommended, with English subtitles.
Thank you so much for making and sharing this video. Mostly of the people across don't know anything about Suriname. I have even met people who doesn't even know that there is a country in South America named Suriname. I'm glad seeing my country getting famous I must say... Thank you so much. 💓

( Do GOOD and don't look back )
Still think the Dutch had the best deal with Surinam.
I found out about Suriname when l was visiting Holland in 1983 while in the US Air Force stationed in England. I had met a girl from there named Astrid, very beautiful
So nice story about Suriname
I'm from Suriname but I live in America now, Virginia beach va. Might move back soon maybe idk.
Hey a fellow Virginian!
I am Dutch-Surinamese, my parents stayed in the Netherlands after independence.
Its funny how more English speakers are getting interested in Surinam history.
The Netherlands are amazing but our institutions should do a better job with this side of history and also in general. Especially outside of the bigger cities certain native Dutch people feel like Dutch people with a colonial background aren't really Dutch because they are black or a other a ethnicity while these were historically all born under the Dutch flag (pre-independance). What they are forgetting is that their are also white people with a Colonial background which they do recognize exposing the hypocrisy. And these have a carribean mentality so they expose that openly.
It goes both ways. In school we had 2 brothers from Suriname but the coloured people did not accept them as being Surinamese at firtst since they were too white.
Digging into history can realy enrich peoples views, as long as we don't turn a blind to the dark sides of our nations.
(And we Dutch have a fair share of dark history.)
@@hotdognl70 Yes but that isn't institutionally and white Surinamese are recognized as an official ethnicity (de boeroes).
But within the Netherlands we are not officially recognized as a 'Dutch ethnicity' we are 'allochtoon' which is strange as most Surinamese always had a Dutch nationality as first and only (being part of the kingdom, also goes for Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire, Sint Maarten), not different than 'native, white Dutch people'. Wether that is racism or not, or just the system being outdated within that view is up for debate.
Not only that we are 'non-western allochtonen' but that is very contradicting, because someone from the USA is considered a 'western allochtoon' but does that also go for black people from the USA, specifically the 'foundational black Americans who are their just as long as the' foundational white Americans'?
Because how come that a black American be considered a 'western allochtoon' whole not even knowing about Dutch culture, while Black Surinamese people and culture is a product of the Dutch kingdom. Dutch is still our 1st official language, culturally and economically, yet institutionally we are being very disenfranchised from official Dutch recognition as being considered allochtone like that relationship in history means nothing. And if Black Americans aren't considered non Western and White Americans 'are' than that is up for debate as well.
It's gives a Subliminal message to our society that being 'Black' or Afro-centric means your are 'not really Dutch' or it's purely a 'foreign or exotic' thing, non-western by default. While Dutch culture as many outside influences. Sinterklaas isn't a Dutch event either and Black Pete is just a late made up interpretation based on black the servant or demon but for no reason chose to give him negroid characteristics, and even slavery wasn't an excuse because why did other countries who also have St Nicholas day didn't adapt it in the same way even if the servant is black (till this day, other fully painted black servants still look totally different and looks more like Judeo Christian demon)
But our race relations will always have some issues, even Surinamese people don't always get along. The Creoles and the Marrons can have common social conflicts and can be very discriminative towards eachother while these are both African descendant groups. So it's not about being perfect, and I do think some are just too much into victimhood mentality, but our institutions could do a better job.
Thanks for replying, have a nice day🙏🏽
@@SAsaiyajin Sorry, te veel text. Mag ik de samenvatting?
@@hotdognl70 nu laat je zien dat het je niet boeit en dat je het Subliminaal probeert te bagatelliseren door mijn punt te vergelijken met '2 boeroes in je klas die niet geaccepteerd werden' tegenover iets veel gecompliceerder. Dit komt ook precies terug op het punt dat ik maak dat je dus nu niet wilt lezen.
DIT IS ALWEER ALINEA 2😡;
Boeroes zijn geaccepteerd als officiële ethniciteit onder Surinaams cultuur, maar andersom erkend de Nederlandse institutie en cultuur de Surinamers niet als authentiek aan Nederland. Dit resulteert dan ook dat in NL sommige Surinaamse jongeren het concept van een witte Surinamers niet kennen omdat NL institutie zich probeert los te houden van die relatie (maar dit NL ook met zijn geschiedenis in het algemeen).
Maar sorry hoor je doet echt als een wijf die discussie of een goed feitelijk debat uit de weg wilt gaan. Lees gewoon mijn vorige comment. 🤷🏽♂️😑. Je hebt alleen maar laten zien dat je amikale lul wilt zijn.
@@SAsaiyajin Ik was benieuwd naar jouw punt, het was alleen erg veel tekst.
Je erg lange tenen zijn jouw probleem, daar stoor ik mij niet aan. Dat je het nodig vind om enkel vanwege het feit dat ik om een bondigere reactie vraag mij voor amikale lul uit te maken is wel storend en zorgt ook voor enige weerstand om jouw punten serieus te nemen.
Tl;dr: Je gedraagt je als een Wilders, jammer.
