Haitian Revolution
World history · Politics · Conflict
The rebellion of enslaved people, free people of color, and other inhabitants of Saint-Domingue became a revolution that defeated the French colonial regime and culminated in Haiti’s independence in 1804. Its impact crossed the Atlantic world and challenged slavery, though the new republic faced isolation, imposed debt, and internal conflict.
