Talk:History of Suriname
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I had posted a couple of other interesting photos in here of Maroon people in Suriname in the 1950s including one of a medicine man. Now I find they are missing and I can't find any reference to them being removed. Can anyone please tell my why and by whom they were removed, please?

[edit] Suriname nearly became a Soviet ally.
I just read this: Secrets of Suriname:Another Reagan-administration Cold War success story It ought to be worked into the history.Readin (talk) 17:39, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Details needed--Fact template reasons
re: {{fact|EB does not mention Willoughby at all, so source needed badly}}, applied this date
- The Willoughby colony is not mentioned at all by the 2007 EB, I cited, though the conquest of the English colony in 1866 is mentioned. I suspect the Marshall's Creek colony was "re-colonized" (i.e. reinforced, perhaps with change of governor) in the same region, and the cash crop changed to sugar as that industry ramped up.
- In any event, source and additional details for the Willoughby colony needed, and that reconciled in the language with the Marshall's Creek settlement.
- Whether Marshall's Creek is a tributary or alternate name for the Suriname River is another loose end that needs established beyond doubt.
