Haiti

Political journey

The first country founded by a successful slave revolt, in 1804, Haiti was forced to pay France an indemnity for its independence, was occupied by the United States from 1915 to 1934 and lived under the Duvalier dictatorships. After the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, armed gangs took over most of the capital, and the country has been run by transitional arrangements without an elected president.
