Synopsis of Haitian History
Located in the Caribbean, between Cuba, Puerto Rico and Jamaica, the island of Haiti is inhabited by two independent nations: the Republic of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. When Christopher Columbus made his first landing in the northern part of what is now the Republic of Haiti in 1492, he referred to the people he met on the island as Indians, thinking that he had reached India in South Asia. These people, however, preferred to be called Tainos meaning "

Haiti
History
The earliest known inhabitants of Haiti reached the island about 2600 BC, using huge dugout canoes that allowed them to ride the current from South America and the southern tip of the Lesser Antilles north and west into the Greater Antilles. A second group, often referred to as the Salanoids or ancient Arawaks, reached Hispaniola about 250 BC. The group spread throughout the Antilles. A third migration, from Venezuela, swept through the Antilles about 2000 years ago, and by AD 700 occupied Haiti and most of the surrounding islands. They called themselves the Taino (friendly people), and an estimated 400,000 of them lived on Hispanola when Italian adventurer Christopher Columbus got off the ship to greet them. Folks on another island had told Columbus that there was gold to be found there, and the anxious Italian set off in the night to find it. Although most Tainos died during the next 25 years at the hands of Spanish slave drivers (or Spanish viruses), their contributions to the world - barbecue, tobacco, canoe and hammock are all Taino words - live on. By 1519, the gold mines were empty and the Tainos all but extinct, so the Spanish came up imported African slaves and grew sugarcane. As the 1600s began, the Spanish citizens on the western end of Hispaniola traded illegally with the French. The troops were sent in and those treasonous areas depopulated. The French traders moved into the empty towns, further frustrating Spain's ambitions.

    BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... HAITI Haiti occupies part of the island of Hispaniola, which was 'discovered' by Columbus in 1492. The indigenous tribe, the Arawaks, were either murdered, worked to death, or killed off by European diseases against which they had no defenses. The french got control of the western third of the island in 1697 because French pirates so relentlessly beleaguered the area. Slaves made the region economically advantageous to the French. A slave revolt, however, resulted in abolition of slavery. Independence was declared in 1804, but political stability would be a long time coming for the country. From the mid-1800s through the mid-1900s, the US began to exert considerable influence in Haiti. For nearly two decades, in fact, Haiti was under US military occupation (1915-194). In 1957, Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier seized control and commenced a repressive rule of the country. His son, Jean-Claude ("Baby Doc") came to power in 1971. under the Duvalier's most of the better-educated and wealthy citizens fled to more hospitable locales. Consequently, Haiti was left both impoverished and with the most illiteracy in the Western Hemisphere. In 1986, Baby Doc was deposed by the military which tried to empower a series of repressive and incompetent governments. In 1990, democratic elections were held. Rev. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a Roman Catholic priest, won but was overthrown in another military coup. The US gave Aristide support in the form of suspending aid to Haiti, which only worked to further hurt the most impoverished in the population. The military junta proceeded to kill at least 3,000 of Aristide's supporters. In 1994, the US invaded Haiti and restored Aristide to power. In 1995, elections were held with 28 parties vying for votes. It was the first peaceful presidential election since independence. US troops were withdrawn in 1999.

Rise of British, French, and Dutch activity in Caribbean. The Spaniards cede the western third of Hispaniola to the French crown at the Treaty of Ryswick. Haiti is now called "Saint Domingue." Saint Domingue becomes the richest colony in the world. Its capital, Cap Français, is known as the Paris of the New World.

August 1791 The first major black rebellion takes place, initiated by Boukman, a voodoo houngan. This begins the markings of civil war between the black dominated north and the mulatto (mulâtre) dominated south. Toussaint L'Ouverture ("the opening"), an educated herb doctor and military man, emerges as the leader of the former slaves in the north. He restored order, ended the massacres, and restored some of Saint Domingue's former prosperity. Toussaint makes diplomatic contact with the recently established United States.

    The Haiti Project - History of Haiti
    A tiny tropical island sits in the Caribbean, decorated with palm trees and colorful hibiscus flowers. Its mountains stand majestically looking down upon sandy beaches and green valleys. From afar it appears as any other island one might encounter sailing the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Yet, as we draw closer we notice a difference. There are no tourist resorts dotting the coasts, no high rise hotels with sand volleyball courts and marimba bands. This is Haiti, this is different. If the land could speak it would tell of tragedy and violence, of abuse and bloodshed, of power and greed. Why does the country stand apart from its neighbors? The answer lies in the turbulent history of this tiny nation. The Early Years Christopher Columbus landed on the tiny island he called, "La isla espanola" in December 1492 (The name was later shortened to Hispanola). The island was inhabited by local Arawak Indians who referred to their home as "Hayti", or mountainous land. In keeping with imperialistic ideology, the Spaniards used and abused the native Arawaks to the point of near extinction.

    Country Info Haiti Introduction Haiti General Data Haiti Maps Haiti Culture ... Haiti Time and Date Haiti History Back to Top Haiti formerly renounced its colonial bond with France in January 1804, as the result of the only successful slave rebellion in world history. The country's longevity as an independent nation in the Western Hemisphere is second only to that of the United States. Over this span of almost two centuries, however, the country has never known a period free of tyranny, repression, political conflict, racial animosity, and economic hardship. Haiti, the first black republic in modern times, sprang directly to self-governance from French colonialism, a system that had a profound impact on the nation. Haiti's colonial origins had demonstrated that an illiterate and impoverished majority could be ruled by a repressive elite. The slaveholding system had established the efficacy of violence and coercion in controlling others, and the racial prejudice inherent in the colonial system survived under the black republic. A lightskinned elite assumed a disproportionate share of political and economic power. The chaotic and personalistic nature of Haitian political culture combined with chronic underdevelopment to provide fertile ground for a succession of despots, strongmen, and dictators. Even the few national leaders whose election apparently reflected popular sentiment, such as Dumarsais Estimé (1946-50) and François Duvalier (1957-71), rejected constitutional procedures in favor of retaining personal power. The popular revolt that deposed President for life Jean-Claude Duvalier (1971-86) demonstrated the Haitian people's rejection of parasitic despotism. At the same time, however, the revolt reaffirmed another lesson of Haitian history: violence has often been the only effective route to change.

[Change image] [Upload image] The Spaniards used Hispaniola (of which Haiti is the western part and the Dominican Republic is the eastern) as a launching point to explore the rest of the Western Hemisphere. French buccaneers later used the western third of the island as a point from which to harass English and Spanish ships. In 1697 Spain ceded the western third of Hispaniola to France. As piracy was gradually suppressed some French adventurers became planters making Saint-Domingueas the French portion of the island was then calledone of the richest colonies of the 18th century French empire. During this period African slaves were brought to work the sugarcane and coffee plantations. In 1791 the slave populationled by Toussaint L'Ouverture Jean Jacques Dessalines and Henri Christopherevolted and gained control of the northern part of Saint-Domingue. In 1804 local forces defeated an army deployed by Napoleon Bonaparte established independence from France and renamed the area Haiti. The defeat of the French in Haiti is widely credited with contributing to Napoleon's decision to sell the Louisiana territory to the United States in 1804. Haiti is the world's oldest black republic and the second-oldest republic after the United States in the Western Hemisphere. Haitians actively assisted the American Revolution and independence movements of Latin American countries.

In those days, before 1492 (before the so called discovery of Haiti) there were five well organized kingdoms in Haiti: the Magua, the Marien, the Xaragua, the Maguana, and the Higuey. Haiti was self sufficient at the time and its early inhabitants lived in perfect harmony with the land that they use to cultivate a great deal of the foods that Haitians still eat today. They also practice hunting to get meat. They worshiped nature and had traditional rituals performed at the rhythm of the drumbeat.

    By Noe Dorestant, E.E.
    Special Independence Edition
    Haiti's national palace flying the Haitian national flag, "symbol of a small nation with the willingness to live in liberty, with order and work under the aegis salutary of public peace." Haiti's countryside still has reminiscence of its war of bravery for independence. The ruins of its forts and the life style of its impoverished people remind us that it has paid dearly to maintain its status of independent nation from 1804 to this day. As Dessalines would have said if he were alive today: "Vivre libre ou mourir!" "Live free or die!". Meanwhile his legacy survives. Haiti that was once surnamed the pearl of the Antilles because of its wealth in gold and other precious metals and stones, and its natural beauty, has lived to see its resources and its heritage exploited and mismanaged by its sons, daughters and foes alike. Would Haiti rise up from his ashes? That is the question that we keep on asking as we approach the year 2004 (Haiti's bicentennial, 200 years of independence).
