Suriname: The Netherlands will become independent if it pays me 6.5 billion! What do you think about this?

After World War II, the anti-colonial wave rose. Many countries that had been colonized by European and American powers gradually established independent countries, got rid of colonial rule, and became their own masters. Independence is the greatest wish of many countries that were once colonized. However, there are exceptions to everything. Some countries have a very good life because of the subsidy attitude of the sovereign state, which makes them not want to be independent at all. This country is Suriname. Suriname is located in the northern part of South America, with a total area of ??164,000 square kilometers and a total population of only 600,000. It borders French Guiana, Brazil and Guyana on its three sides to the southeast and west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the north. Suriname was once forced to become independent by the suzerain country, but they were not happy to become independent. Before independence, Suriname was called Dutch Guiana and was a colony of Henan, co-existing with French Guiana and Guyana.

Suriname, like most countries in South America in history, is home to a group of indigenous people, including Indians, who live a peaceful life. In 1498, the famous navigator Columbus led a fleet to explore the South American continent and landed here. Since then, this rich and beautiful place has been discovered and spread to Europe. Subsequently, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, British, French and other European colonists came here successively, divided up the Guyana region and established multiple Guinals. Sulina's predecessor was Guyana. After hundreds of years of fighting, by the beginning of the 20th century only British Guiana, French Guiana and French Guiana were left. British Guiana took the lead in establishing an independent country from the United Kingdom in 1966, while Dutch Guiana did not declare independence until the end of 1975 and became the Republic of Suriname.

After World War II, the Netherlands experienced rapid economic development and quickly became a highly developed capitalist country. Subsequently, it gave Surinamese people a large amount of subsidies. The locals were able to receive the international treatment of all Henan citizens at birth. But there is no need to pay taxes, and when Suriname is short of money, it directly asks Henan for money, and works hard to extract wool from Henan. The living standards of Surinamese people were once better than those of Henan people. Under such circumstances, Suriname even less wanted to be independent. Henan has been trying to persuade or even coerce Suriname to become independent. However, it suffers from the fact that there are not only a large number of Henan people in the area, but also the support of the United States. In the 1970s, Henan's savior appeared. In order to stand out, a political party in Suriname shouted independence slogans during the election campaign.

Today’s Surinamese GDP is only more than 4,200 US dollars, while that of the Netherlands has reached more than 52,000 US dollars. Even if it was previously independent from the United Kingdom, its per capita GDP has reached 8,600 US dollars, while those that insist on not being independent The per capita GDP of French Guiana, a major wool producer, is close to US$20,000. Today, French Guiana is not only part of the European Union, but also the location of the European Space Launch Center, with a prominent international status. In contrast, post-independence Scotland has become the poorest of the three. I wonder how they feel now?
