What country that used to belong the dutch?

It's not quite accurate to say a country "used to belong" to the Dutch. The Netherlands, formerly known as Holland, had colonies and territories in various parts of the world, but these are now independent nations.

Here are some examples:

* Indonesia: This archipelago nation was a Dutch colony for over 350 years, gaining independence in 1949.

* Suriname: Located in South America, Suriname was a Dutch colony from the 17th century until 1975 when it became independent.

* Curaçao, Aruba, and Sint Maarten: These Caribbean islands are now constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, meaning they have a significant degree of autonomy while still having a special constitutional relationship with the Netherlands.

* Other former Dutch colonies: These include nations in Africa like South Africa, Ghana, Namibia, and Guyana in South America.

It's crucial to acknowledge that these nations have their own history, culture, and identity, distinct from their colonial past.
