Description:

Haiti is located on the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles of the Caribbean Sea.  It is east of Cuba and Jamaica, and south of the Bahamas, and it has a very interesting history.  It was originally inhabited by an indigenous population that migrated from South America before the first Europeans arrived on December 5, 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus.  The island was claimed by Spain, who ceded to France in 1687.  During the French Revolution of 1789 to 1799, slaves and free people of colour launched the Haitian Revolution which changed the countries trajectory forever.  After years of conflict, France was defeated and Haiti declared their sovereignty on January 1, 1804 becoming the first independent nation of Latin America and the Caribbean.  It was the second republic in the Americas, was the first country to abolish slavery, and the only state in history established by a successful slave revolt.

 

With all this dramatic history it would make for many dark and haunting tales.
