Explanation:

Haiti is an island country in Central America, on Hispaniola Island. Christopher Columbus discovered Hispaniola in 1492 during his first voyage towards India. After the island had been discovered and conquered, the Spaniards exploited the island for gold and converted almost all inhabitants into slaves.

In 1697, French hunters inhabited the western part of the island and built their settlements. By the time, the western part of Hispaniola became the richest colony in the 18th century as the French brought African slaves to work and produce sugar and other industrial goods.

But, the strong influence of the French Revolution resulted in the launching of the Haitian Slave Revolt against slavery and Napoleon’s government. After thirteen years of struggle, French forces were defeated on 1 January 1804 – when Haiti finally became an independent nation.
