The taking effect of independence on November 25, 1975 is Suriname's moment.

Specifically, a country's moment refers to a critical event that defines all others in that country's development and well-being. Independence is that moment for Suriname. It assumes such importance because prior to that date Suriname's political economy was dominated, and its society formed, by the geographically distant European Kingdom of the Netherlands. Suriname now are able to pace their decisions and actions according to a locus of control that is within their own borders.
