Haiti
Haiti officially the Republic of Haiti formerly called Hayti, is a sovereign state located on the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles
archipelago of the Caribbean Sea. It occupies the western three-eighths of the island, which it shares with the Dominican Republic.
Haiti is 27,750 square kilometres (10,714 sq mi) in size and has an estimated 10.8 million people, making it the most populous country
in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the second-most populous country in the Caribbean as a whole.

In the midst of the French Revolution (1789–1799),
slaves and free people of colour revolted in the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804),
culminating in the abolition of slavery and the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte's army at the Battle of Vertières.
Afterward the sovereign nation of Haiti was established on 1 January 1804 the first independent nation of Latin America and the Caribbean,
the second republic in the Americas, and the only nation in the world established as a result of a successful slave revolt.
The rebellion that began in 1791 was led by a former slave and the first black general of the French Army,
Toussaint Louverture, whose military genius and political acumen transformed an entire society of slaves into an independent country.
Upon his death in a prison in France, he was succeeded by his lieutenant, Jean-Jacques Dessalines,
who declared Haiti's sovereignty and later became the first Emperor of Haiti,
