The Dutch were Suriname's rulers.

Specifically, Dutch interest in Suriname dates back to the early seventeenth (17th) century. Dutch traders realized the huge profit potential from a country so endowed with such an accessible Atlantic coastline and with such a vast storehouse of marine and terrestrial resources. By 1630, they therefore set up a trading post that then was taken over by competing English interests. But in 1667, the Dutch triumphed over the English as the sole colonial rulers over Suriname.
