The European Kingdom of the Netherlands was Suriname's colonial ruler.

Specifically, Suriname is located in northern South America whereas the Netherlands is a northern European country. But the Dutch had an interest in participating in the European scramble for trading colonies in Africa, the Americas and Asia. They therefore colonized key parts of the Americas, where they ended up trading their New Amsterdam colony in modern-day New York for the English colony in Suriname.
