Haiti currently finds itself in the midst of an extraordinary and heartrending crisis. Its government has virtually lost all control, with 90% of the capital dominated by brutal gangs, while 40% of the population faces the dire threat of starvation. Today, Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, a fact that might lead you to believe it has always been steeped in poverty. However, this wasn't always the case. Once upon a time, Haiti was the most prosperous colony the world had ever seen. Its economy overshadowed the newly-founded United States and was more valuable than the combined New World holdings of the Spanish Empire. For a time, it was the most valuable piece of land on Earth - but this wealth came at a horrifying human cost. Haiti's prosperity was built on the backbone of an exceptionally violent and brutal form of slavery. This grim reality, however, paved the way for the largest and only successful slave revolt in history. As the second free nation in the Americas, Haiti overflowed with hope and optimism for a future shaped by and for its people. So, how did this once unimaginably wealthy land transform into a devastatingly impoverished nation?

@CasualScholar Is it possible for you to make a video on the long history and relations between Haiti and Dominican Republic?
I'm done with this channel until they stop shilling this master works crap
Sadly. This kind of scum promotion is the show of how creator are just pretending to be knowledgeable, but, in fact, just copy cats
Stop schilling for this scam. Masterworks is a scam.

I find it a little strange that Haiti experiences all these disasters but The Dominican Republic remains untouched. I mean They are right next door on the same island.
What you don't know is they made a deal with the devil to get the French out. A ND since then there's been hell to pay. No joke.
Exactly it's only happening on one side
Devil hate black skin
There is a difference between the events, which hit both sides to some degree, and the damage from events. The Dominican Republic gets regular earthquakes as well, but has the money and government to require better building construction, inspections etc. but Haiti doesn’t. Same with gangs…a functional government will keep gangs to a minimum, but in areas with very weak, corrupt governments, gang violence increases.
@@Itried20takennamessounds like they have been ruled by gangs the whole time.
At the time of the terrible disaster in Haiti a charity organisation I donate to donated £25,000 to a Haiti fund. I later read the government members had taken the lot and most other donations.
And you are correct. I helped agape flights . They are a missionary group working with Haiti for almost a half century. I know the supplies got there. I saw it with my own eyes.
Bill and Hillary Clinton robbed them people.
Clinton's took it
It’s all about the gibs
My aunt and uncle donated £20k. They took later learned it was used by the government for weapons
Would have been interesting if you added the time Haiti controlled Dominican Republic and why it only lasted 22 years.
When?
@@TingTong2568 They started invading on 1801. Haiti had control of DR from 1822-1844.
@@MikeisVS thanks for the info
This is bullshit, we did not invaded any body, why would we invade when we help the majority of Latin America to get freed?
We protected the entire island included the Dominican side because your leadership asked us because they did not have the ressources too.
How can we invade a nation in 1801 when Dominican Republic as a country didn’t exist until 1844?
It’s just the stupid lies they taught you in school in order to justify your racism towards Haitians.
Try harder AND, smarter next time.
We were a nation 40years before you and, we helped you chase the Spaniards out of the island now that’s how you treat us?
@@MrInternationalSound I think you replied under the wrong post.
It must be awkward to be the DR, it like waking up every morning, getting a coffee, going to the porch and looking at you neighbour to see their house is still on fire. You forgotten when the fire started but it’s been going on for as long as you remember and you have somewhat accepted it as a norm
NO, MENTIRA TOTAL
La cultura dominicana y la identidad dominicana en general comienza con la llegada de Colón en 1492, siendo una colonia española donde al llegar encontraron indigenas, esclavizaron a los indigenas, se mezclaron, trajeron esclavos africanos para compensar la mano de obra y hubo un mestizaje muy fuerte entre negros, blancos e indigenas hasta la actualidad. En 1600, llega Francia a la parte Oeste de la isla y trae unos 10,000 esclavos negros y sólo unos 1000 franceses, en 1804 los esclavos de la parte francesa (Hoy Haití) se independiza a base de machete, decapitando a sus colonizadores FRANCESES, luego en 1805 sin ningún motivo, los esclavos libertos cruzan a la parte española (Hoy República Dominicana) a la parte norte en las ciudades de Moca y Santiago a decapitar a dominicanos negros, blancos, mestizos, mulatos, entre ellos, mujeres y niños inocentes y vuelven a Haití. En diciembre de 1821, República Dominicana se independiza de España gracias a José Núñez de Cáceres, los haitianos, meses despues, en 1822 invaden la República Dominicana, prohiben estrictamente el idioma español en toda la isla, imponen el frances, expropian terrenos y masacran dominicanos. Los dominicanos fueron sumisos durante 22 años, hasta el 27 de febrero 1844, donde, para preservar la cultura que llevabamos forjada por casi 300 años en aquel tiempo, mezclada entre la cultura africana, indigena y española, Juan Pablo Duarte, harto de los abusos convocó a todos los negros, blancos, mulatos que formaban anteriormente parte de la colonia española (sin distinción de razas) unidos como uno solo para tener la libertad de la República Dominicana. Luego de nuestra independencia, todas las guerras y los intentos de invasión fueron comenzados por Haití y provocados por ellos, y todas las guerras se dieron en territorio dominicano, intentaron invadir en 1844, 1845, 1849, 1855 y 1856, los dominicanos siempre actuamos a la defensiva con Haití y a pesar de esto, los Estados, debido a acuerdos binacionales son conciderados ''amigos'' y hay tratados de amistad, que Haití siempre viola e ignora, a pesar de esto RD siempre le ha brindado su amistad y ayuda. Durante el terremoto de Haití fuimos los primeros en accionar, enviaron helicopteros desde RD hacia Haití y muchos haitianos fueron atendidos en hospitales de lujo en República Dominicana, se han hecho donaciones de alimentos, el presidente dominicano Leonel Fernandez les donó una universidad (a la que le cambiaron el nombre porque tenía el nombre de un ex presidente dominicano llamado Juan Bosch), en República Dominicana los haitianos tienen: educación gratuita, salud gratuita, partos gratuitos, todo esto sin importar su estado migratorio (la mayoría son ilegales porque en Haití no les hacen actas de nacimiento ni documentos de identidad). En resumen, Haití en vez de progresar ellos mismos, se concentraba más en ver que era lo que hacíamos los dominicanos y trataron de invadirnos, esto nos deja tambien una lección de desarrollo personal, y nos enseña que nos enfoquemos en nuestros propios asuntos, antes de ver los de los demás, porque mientras tu eres espectador y no trabajas en tí, ese que estás juzgando irá más rapido que tú y le irá mejor que tú. A pesar de las ayudas de la ONU y todas las donaciones, Haití resultó ser un Estado fallido y no pudo progresar, todas esas ayudas los mantuvieron en una zona de confort y no quisieron progresar por ellos mismos. Los dominicanos estamos HARTOS de repetirlo, HAITÍ NO ES RESPONSABILIDAD DE LA REPUBLICA DOMINICANA. No somos el mismo país ni son nuestra responsabilidad, bastante tenemos con la clase baja dominicana y los problemas de delincuencia y alto costo de la vida para ponernos a administrar dos países de 11 millones de personas cada uno, donde en el otro no tienen control para dar a luz y paren gratis.
it's called karma for all the defamation and evil shit they've done to Dominicans. We worship at different alters. We are not the same
@@waterbear5248 are you dominican??? YOU ARE BEING A MEANIE, what their great grandfather's di is not tge fault of tge current poblation, they are still people with lives and feelings. Yet I agree we aren't and will NEVER be thr same, are we will never fuse, Dominicans can't and WONT fuse with any foreign nation!
Even though the DR is the 8th strongest economy in Latin America , it is by no means a "rich" country. The DR has come a long way as all developing countries do, it still has a lot of things to improve and its on the path to do doing that.
Exactly! I saw that thumbnail and immediately thought “Rich? Y en donde? 🇩🇴 😅
5th richest in LATAM in pib per capita... 7th in Nominal GDP.
@@PLATANITO829…Undoubtedly the DR has come a long way economically. However, it is nowhere near what is considered to be a “rich country”. But it is definitely moving in that direction.
@@CarlosCastro_ Where did i claim it is a rich country? My comment is still valid. It is the 5th richest in LATAM. It's no difference in comparing any African nations and ranking them from Poorest to richest. Calling any Latin American Country rich by U.S/ Europe Standards would make no sense ofc. Wealth is not measured by what you see but by what you hold/ value. That's why DR's Gdp per capita is higer than Mexicos although you can find better infrastructure in mexico 40%+ of their population still live in poverty. Human Development Index and other measures is what the world uses to determine a country's true development.
@John Freddy…It’s actually better than quiet a few places in The Americas. But it’s not a rich country, when you talk about countries like Canada, the USA, Japan etc.
I really hope on day Haiti is able to prosper, corruption is a huge reason as to why Haiti is in the state that it's in, and the exploitation and constant natural disasters only makes it worse.
It’s a real shame how much the country has gotten worse, since their last massive earthquake from over a DECADE ago.
The corruption of the French and American occupation years ago.
Overpopulation and an average IQ of 67 are more relevant to Haiti's misfortunes than the bugbear of colonial history.
I visited both Haiti and DR back in 1998, I knew already back then which country would propser and which wouldnt. You can tell it in the attitude of the ppl. The DR are gentle with each other and help each other build, they remind me of Kenyans same way.
True, the country snd its people also need to take responsibility. Shifty blame does not help anyone
I have known that Haiti’s story was sad, but I didn’t know that it has been this tragic for this long.

You said it, friend. That is the sad and disgusting thing about slave revolts. Those fighting oppression usually end up replacing the slavers and oppressors. In much of history, it has been the case like with the Mamluks and Manchus etc.
Where have we seen this before?
Oh yeah, the Russian Revolution. Where they overthrew the Czar for 'Peace! Land! and Bread!". And Stalin their new Czar said, "I'll give you None of the Above! And (in their case) less freedom than you had before." And they said, "Sold!" uchh

The story of Haiti shows how horrible humans can be to each other.
I'm surprised they (Hollywood) never made a movie about Haiti but every year you will get at least 3 or 4 movies reminding you of the Jewish holocaust like other people didn't also suffer at the hands of racism throughout history..

Your comment shows that you know nothing about Haitian history. Haiti was economicly sufficient until the Duvalier Era (1957-1986). It wasn't a rich and powerful country but autosufficient so no need for any type of help.

Let's not forget that when Haiti had invaded the Dominican Republic they also enslaved the Dominican people even though they revolted against slavery 😑
it was because haiti was ruled by a minority that were freed slaves before the actual revolution that were either black or mixed who believed they were superior to the other blacks
Or the part where they cut out where the Haitians committed a genocide on the local whites, even the ones who had supported them, which was why no one was willing to let them have international influence. They were terrified that they might create an international movement of slave Blacks committing wide scale genocides against whites.
“Enslaved” you know what the word means thuisp dumb people . We occupy Dr for 22 years it was Dominican who ask for it
Invaded ? Remember when the Spaniards wanted DR back 1863 … who send his army? President Jeffrard from Haiti

The evening of the earthquake in Haiti I felt it as a strong tremor in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico.
Really?
@@Queencnlbnot the strongest I've felt but it was scary. Enough for the kitchen cabinet doors to open and close.
When he said "Things took a dire turn" it made me think of "it can always get worse", sadly it got even worse from there. Hopefully Haitians will see past their lowest point sooner rather than later, you can see why many of them have a deep mistrust of Foreign interventions. Even if people are not academically aware of the history of it those sort of wounds run deep culturally, especially when reinforced time and time again.
Or they just extremly overpopulated as people with abundance of food that their origin ancestor didnt have. Culture wise are they still on the stage breed kids ,let them take care of me when old. Who knows, but exuses there allways are

The title makes it sound like Haitis demise is entirely due to others, but Haitis own people, the Haitian elite also played a horrible role as well. Sinful greedy man is the cause.
And who are the greedy elites working for ?? Wake up !
Sinful greedy men are also a result of constant foreing influence. I mean how do you build a country if you neighbor just drives by to steal your gold, then ruins you economy just to invade you after that.

They are not men..
The so-called "leadership" always act as middlemen. But make no mistake, Haiti is not ruled by Haitians.
It’s really crazy in my country guys, no food, no government, no security, no job opportunities, no electricity etc ahh.. I had to leave my hometown Montrouis looking for refugee in the Dominican Republic with my family. But things are worst over here for us as immigrants I’m like God do you have a plan for me? Why are we the most unluckiest nation on earth? I’ve been suffering since I was a toddler I pray to God everyday but things remains the same but we won’t lose faith.
I’ve moved here with my two children and my siblings, things aren’t perfect for us here we’re barely holding on. My sisters ain’t living right, my little brother ain’t living right. My mom was here with me and got sick and went back to Haiti for treatments she’s been stuck in the country for almost a year now thanks God and to my supporters I was able to raise some funds and sent to her to escape from Haiti and comes back here in December if God willing, I cry everyday since she called me and said if I’m gonna leave her to die down there 💔she’s coming here next month guys please help my family in your prayers we’re going through a lot, I’m tired frfr😪 #RIPDAD #FreeHaiti #SwimToSurvive #TapeOTW #mordiigangmusic
The plan is for the people to kill one another so the U.S. can come in and claim the island! Perhaps someone of Haiti, AN ELDER, will teach of the Unity of The Old Days... Bring Back HAITIAN SPIRIT! America would hate that! The reason why THE D.R. DOES BETTER, BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY SUBMISSIVE TO SPAIN! But FRANCE AND AMERICA HATES WHEN BLACKS RESISTS THEIR BULLSHIT! The white lie is... WHITES DON'T HAVE SHIT BUT A MILITARY THAT ENFORCES THEIR TYRANNY! But you HAITIANS might want to get back to THE OLD UNITY of how y'all defeated your enemies! If not, AMERICA WILL STARVE Y'ALL OUT!

I see you. I see your fight. ❤
I haven't seen the full video yet, but I suspect being a profitable colony is not the same as being a rich country. The labour intensive industries would not be that profitable if they did not abuse people the way they did.
Yeah, in Haiti's case it is pretty obvious why it did not remain rich. It's like apartheid South Africa, sure it was rich but thats what happens when most of the resources in a country goes to an extreme minority at the cost of subjugating literally everyone else.
It is an artificial equilibrium that cannot last without extreme force.
The hardest working people are the people who are working for themselves and their family.
It more has to do with the Haitians slaughting all the whites.Destroying most infrastructure. Then forced to pay for that infrastructure to the French and then invading their neighbour twice. Malaysia was also a colony mainly based on plantations.But they made it work.
@@RK-cj4oc Was Malaysia extorted by all the great powers?
@@jorge69696 Yes.
I love how this video doesn't mention the genocide Haitians participated in. "Half the population had perished" because they killed everyone that wasn't dark enough, and not just Europeans.
Exactly why they were isolated by the rest of the world. When you kill your former masters, the small scale white farmers, foreign merchants, mercenaries who worked for you, men, women, and children based only on the color of their skin, others will not like you very much.
Oh great. One of those people that love jumping up and down when talking about the civil war to yell ''there were white slaves too''. Please get over it.
With genocide you talked about ,
@@cleevensguerrier7724 The one where haitians killed everybody who wasn't black enough. Later Haiti did colonized Santo Domingo in the early 19th century, sacked their major towns confiscated their land and heavily taxed them. It took 20 years before the Dominicans could get back their freedom from Haiti.
They didn't kill them because the people "weren't dark enough" but because they wanted to unify the islands and for economic benefits. Also, white-supremacy is real whereas "black-supremacy" has never been a thing throughout history. Genocide isn't racism, it's a battle for economic benefit. Enslavement is racism because it's the exploitation of an ethnic group with limited power. The French were racist, and the Haitians weren't according to the definition of racism. Enslavment is racism War is not (unless driven by the basis of color, which is a childish reason and doesn't exist.)
This is one of the best channels and documentaries ever.
its pointed to mention that recent haitian news proves that the country is very much in trouble but the main stream media ignores this. might be the reason for the surge in content on haiti this week.

No but I went to Dominican Republic a month ago ! They didn’t think I was Haitian, they thought I was either Dominican or American.
I’ve been to Haiti when I was about 7 years old, my Dominican father used to work there. We would visit there and visit his friends there at least 3 times. The drive over there is very bumpy, going into the neighborhood there is very slim and up the mountain, many sliding doors to homes. It was an experience, I forgot what dad did on the countryside; families were washing themselves nearby the shore and there is a sandy road between(order: mountain, road, shore). It is very hot and often beautiful mango trees and city. We pretty much lived in a shared house. They spoken a bit of English and a lot of French.

In regard to European Colonialism and the creation of the First World/Third World distinction, the story of India under Britis occupation is informative:
India actually had the world's largest economy (over 25% of global GDP) in the early 18th Century prior to British occupation, deindustrialization and looting of India's resources. Research published by Columbia UP in 2018 showed that the British stole about US45 Trillion from India from 1757-1938 (see Prof. Jason Hickel's article online about how modern Britain was built with loot from India). Britain's Industrial Revolution and much Western development was financed by 'loot' (Hindi for plunder) from India. India's world leading textile industry was systematically eliminated by the Brits so that Britain's new industrial cotton industry [copying Indian techniques and styles - e.g. 'Paisley'] could develop as 19th Century historians H.H. Wilson and Friedrich List both noted. This included tariff barriers, making India a monopolized Captive Market for British goods and breaking weavers fingers and even cutting off thumbs of the famed Dhaka Muslin weavers. Governor General Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. India had produced the best steel in the world (Wootz) as recognized by English experts in the 1790s - and Sheffield copied its methods. French and British colonial observers noted that 18th Century India made cannon and muskets as good as any in Europe but arms production was eliminated. The oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy HMS Trincomalee was built by an Indian Co. in 1817 but British competitors stopped shipbuilding in India. When 19th Century Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives, this was of course suppressed. It was not until the 1914-18 Great War in Europe that India was allowed to develop some industrial capacity - then only due to Britain's emergency needs. They also killed tens of millions of the poorest in about 3 dozen famines created by Britain stealing India's foodgrains for British profit and Food Security. Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' as the richest non-monarch in Europe and his East India Co. mafia became the super-rich new elite known as 'nobs' (from 'nabobs') whilst up to 1/3 of the population of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (up to 10 million) died in the 1770 Great Bengal Famine created by their rapacity - as predicted by Richard Becher (a relative of novelist William Thackeray). This led to Europe's first Credit Crunch in 1772 when dozens of banks collapsed in days as Indian loot financing Western development dried up for a while. The EIC started peddling Indian opium to China from 1770 (kidnapping children to work on opium plantations etc.) which brought Britain 1/7 of its export revenues for 140 years. In 1877 Cornelius Walford showed that there were 30 famines in British-occupied India in just 120 years compared to 17 famines in all of India in the previous 2,000 years. This was because native Hindu and Indianized Muslim rulers acted to prevent and alleviate famines. The British created them with their profiteering, hoarding and exporting for Britain's profit and Food Security [it was Industrial Britain that did not grow enough food to feed itself - until after 1945 - India as a whole always did]. The Disraeli regime even set up Death Camps for victims of the 1877 manmade famine in Madras Province - giving famine victims less starvation rations for hard labour than given in Buchenwald - killing 94% of inmates. 5-7 million died whilst record amounts of Indian grain exports lowered prices in Britain and the West. Famine survivors were coerced into the new slavery of indentured labour in the Caribbean etc. Disraeli organized the biggest feast in human history, the 1877 Delhi Durbar, to celebrate Vicky being named Empress of India whilst 100,000 a week died in South India. In 1901 The Lancet estimated conservatively from the census that 19 million had died of starvation in Western India during the 1890s due to British policies. In 1936 George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. As late as 1942-3, Hindu-hating White Supremacist Winston Churchill was responsible for killing millions in Bengal due to Nazi-like Collective Punishment of Bengal and - after British cover-ups were blown by the press in 1943, preventing Food Aid from other countries reaching Bengal, diverting US, Canadian and Australian grain to the UK. As ever, there were surplus food stocks in India as a whole but the Brits ensured they didn't get to Bengal. Even the Nazis allowed Red Cross Food Aid to Greek Famine victims in 1941. Many Westerners still believe the British propaganda myths, first concocted by James Mill (father of J.S. Mill) who was 2nd in Command of the EIC - that India was a Land of Eternal Poverty and Famine and the cause of this was Hinduism which had supposedly remained unchanged for 3,000 years. In truth, India had been famed for its wealth prior to British looting. The Romans complained of the Silver Drain to India in return for Indian exports. Columbus told his sponsors that he was seeking a new route to the fabled wealth and riches of India. In 1616 English ambassador wrote that Delhi was the Treasury of the World. In fact it was the economic Silver Drain to India due to India's successful exports that prompted the British Conquest - taking advantage of the power vacuum that arose as the Hindu Marathas had defeated the Mughals in battle - but maintained a figurehead Mughal emperor.

Well it's a cultural problem. When it comes to Africa, their corruption extends from their tribal cultural mindset. Giving primitive tribes control over Western style government, of which those tribes don't have the same ideals to successfully run that form of government. After all...running a tribe is different than running an entire country with multiple peoples from different other cultures and languages. It took well over 1,000 years for Western Europe to be as it is today after Rome fell (due to the ''bringing of ''civilization'' to various areas of Europe). Much more free and equal, and as little corruption as possible. It'll take a long long time before African countries can catch up.

In 1922, the rest of Haiti's debt to France was moved to be paid to American investors. It took until 1947 - about 122 years - for Haiti to finally pay off all the associated interest to the National City Bank of New York (now Citibank).

My ex-gf's church wanted to go to Haiti to help rebuild after the earthquake until they were informed they would have to pay a bribe to do so. So they went elsewhere. If Haiti had a shred of ethics they would have dug themselves out by now. Poverty doesn't cause crime. Crime causes poverty.
Youve never seen true poverty and hopelessness. Poverty absolutely causes crime. No one starves to death willingly. Youll steal long before your kids starve to death. Highest crime areas are always in the most poverty ridden areas. From the projects, to the trailor parks. When decent paying factories and jobs move out of a city crime goes up, with out fail. There have been plenty of cities and towns in which the factories moved out/closed down and then crime went up. The rust belt is a real thing. And when your whole gold reserves gets stolen, your country has to pay France for over 100 years, no one will trade with you, you arent going to have a good time fiscally as a country, more desperate a country gets the more likely you are to end up with a dictator. I can point you to several examples of that as well. Corruption rises, things get worse. Military takes over, things get worse. Its a cycle.
@michealmcneal2259 The progression doesn't go from prosperity to absolute poverty overnight. US business would have invested in Haiti and built factories to take advantage of their low labor rates long before it got so bad if it wasn't so corrupt and dangerous.

It is not only the world, but the Haitians who took over Haiti well. Looks like a cultural thing, Germany and Japan rose from the ashes, Haiti and other African nations when they got their independence, go downward.
yup, culture and institutions matter far more than almost anyone acknowledges
The first step in Haiti's recovery would be for them to seek and turn to God whole-heartedly and then I believe that the Spirit of God would lead and guide them in the way that they should go.
A prosperous black nation is incompatible with the narrative.

Hatians were never rich😂 it was the french
Argentina and Greece (for all their economic challenges) are objectively a lot better off than Haiti, and even Venezuela (in its present declined state) is objectively still somewhat better off than Haiti. Haiti really is the Sub-Saharan Africa of the Western Hemisphere in a lot of ways.
I still feel lucky living in the Philippines. It's by no means good but still seem way better than Haiti's current situation. I hope they eventually get their bearings and fare better, hopefully sooner.
When looking at Port-au-Prince on Google Earth, even though it has a population of over a million people, the infrastructure is on par with an obscure town of only a few thousand in most countries: there’s almost no paved roads, no real highways, no building is more than 4 or 5 stories tall, and just about every piece of public infrastructure is in visibly poor condition. Even from the air, it’s obvious how utterly and thoroughly broken Haiti is. It’s so frustrating how basically no one with power in this colorful country’s entire history cared. It was built largely by greed, run by greed, and is now being destroyed by greed. Just tragic all around.

It's interesting that even in student union politics Haiti is held to randsom: can remember that in 2010, a welsh student union president had (with the protection of the university) stolen Haiti Earthquake Appeal funds raised from a successful event that was meant to help the Haitians recover from the disaster. That president used the funds to pay the debt of a failed event they set up, with not one penny actually being used for the purposes it was meant. Of course like any other corrupt official, they never faced charges or investigation because they were protected by the university (who themselves were suspected of taking advantage of International Student's finances for their own ends). Looking back a decade later and it's just utterly saddening that there was always a corrupt busybody looking to profit from the continuing disaster of the Haitians - more should've stood up to help 😔

I lived and worked in PAP in ‘78-79. Something I noticed back, then was a shortsighted mentality. I’m not condemning this is wrong, I believe it was the only option for so many people. There was a case or some missionaries brought in a bunch of chickens to be used in bread for producing eggs. Evidently after the first round, the missionaries had to leave and came back to find all the chickens have been butchered and sold for meat. The Haitians were some of the most beautiful, loving, happy and optimistic people I’ve ever met in my life. I still cherish the warmest of memories for my time there.

After Haiti won its independence, the powers of the era. Haiti is still paying for their audacity!!! France issued a decree stating France would recognize Haitian independence but only at the price of 150 million francs - or around 10 times the amount the U.S. had paid for the Louisiana territory. The sum was meant to compensate the French colonists for their lost revenues from slavery.

In regard to European Colonialism and the creation of the First World/Third World distinction, the story of India under Britis occupation is informative:
India actually had the world's largest economy (over 25% of global GDP) in the early 18th Century prior to British occupation, deindustrialization and looting of India's resources. Research published by Columbia UP in 2018 showed that the British stole about US45 Trillion from India from 1757-1938 (see Prof. Jason Hickel's article online about how modern Britain was built with loot from India). Britain's Industrial Revolution and much Western development was financed by 'loot' (Hindi for plunder) from India. India's world leading textile industry was systematically eliminated by the Brits so that Britain's new industrial cotton industry [copying Indian techniques and styles - e.g. 'Paisley'] could develop as 19th Century historians H.H. Wilson and Friedrich List both noted. This included tariff barriers, making India a monopolized Captive Market for British goods and breaking weavers fingers and even cutting off thumbs of the famed Dhaka Muslin weavers. Governor General Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. India had produced the best steel in the world (Wootz) as recognized by English experts in the 1790s - and Sheffield copied its methods. French and British colonial observers noted that 18th Century India made cannon and muskets as good as any in Europe but arms production was eliminated.

It wasn’t a giant silver and gold mine (like Argentina and other places), where colonists pillaging the natural wealth is at least a reasonable narrative.

Haiti was under the USA occupation back in the 1920's. What came out of it?
The US sent a bunch of racist politicians down there, who thought that they were going to treat Haitians the same way they treat the black Americans back then. "Lynching" and other vile acts. That's 120 years after the Haitian independence, they were not going to put up with that. They spent too many years being mistreated by the French in slavery to go back to that.
It wouldn't happen
Ex-gf's church wanted to do volunteer work in Haiti but were unwilling to pay the required bribe so they went elsewhere.
This reminds me a story.
When Peter I crowned himself as Russia's first Emperor, the first major edict he issued was demanding officials and students to collect every archives about running the government and its colonial possession from Western Europe, especially from France due to Peter I's obsession with everything French, and bring home. This kickstarted an everlasting influence of French curriculum on Russian system, during which French things became so dominant in Russian elite society, and this also explained why France and Russia's imperial colonialism are equally... horrific. What France did to Haiti and its colonies later on, Russia also did in a similar extent, if not saying worse to other colonies controlled by the Russians. Many countries suffer from French and Russian imperialism tend to be unable to move on for most part. Hell this is why during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Putin often labels "fighting collective West", but in reality, his main goal is to destroy Britain and the United States (hell he called it a war against the Anglo-Saxon) while intentionally left out France because, France is basically Russia with a little change of flag.
The fact that Putin deliberately searches for ways to destroy Britain and the US, but not France, show that he knew France and Russia and how similar both countries are.
U.S invasion of Haiti: Yes! Look at Uncle Sam!
Haiti invasion of Dominican Republic: Wait! Hold on!
The hypocrisy 😆
Not just that:
US Colonies fight for their independence from Britain and the Monarchy: gets help from other nations during and after, goes on to inspire revolts around the world including the French Revolution
Haiti fights for it's independence from France and it's Monarchy: is marginalized, ostracized, forced to pay restitution, occupied etc...
You mean the same US that also Genocide native Americans and stole their land, enslaved Africans, and the same US who are descendants of Europeans who were kicked out because they branded as the losers of their race and kicked out of Europe. Especially how the Dominican Republicans nowadays are selling their women and little girls towards European men, African-American men and Jamaican Men. I guess we’re all monsters then.

Also won’t that make Haitians heroic for defeating the Imperialist French for what they did? 😂 Dominican Republic while in a better shape than Haiti, it’s not rich it’s poor. 3rd world country. Half of them leave to New York because of the D.R. and it has problems. Stop with the Moral Obligation. Reason why Haiti is in bad shape is because France make them payed an Debt after getting embarrassed by them. The U.S. sent soldiers to take the Haitians gold away. A lot people in the comment section trying to discredit the Haitian and their glory have never passed history class lol.
Every country has it moment, to shine.
One day Haiti will rise up out of the mud and plant flowers into the hearts of each other. One day, a child will be born and grow to lead the country out of this mud. It will happen...one sunny moment in time🌸🌳🌱🌳🌸
wishful thinking
@@professionalboycottservice7872 Humans have free will. It is how one uses this..either to grow or to wilt.
No it won’t.
@@AussieAdventures77 It will, either it be in 20 years or 200 years...their time will shine, yet it will take the belief and power of the people.
I ended up on this video due to the fact that I am reading a book called 'Island beneath the Sea ' by Isabel Allende. Prior to that I could barely locate on the map where the Antilles were located. The book resonates in the history of this video though it is intertwined with romance and literary licence. A must read if you enjoy both , history and education and entertainment through this amazing writer .
Problematic political development reflects the underlying culture. The issue is the underlying culture. A comparison to the Dominican Republic makes it clear. The clear demographic and cultural differences between the two show up clearly in economic outcomes.
Exactly one of contributors
Haitians need to take responsibility for Haiti.
Democracy is not a dress that you just put on.
There is no magical pill for becoming a democratic country.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Democracy is the result of many actions, believes and conditions that drive people , all people, toward a common goal. toward a common good.
This actions does not happen over night. (For most countries, many years, many decades)
However, one thing is certain. It stars by recognizing all people, registering all people, protecting all people and applying law and order to all people.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This my friend, will require many hard and painful actions.
Like I said before. There are actions that needs to be starting and other actions that need to be stopped:
Stop promoting Illegal migration.
Stop financing Gang leaders.
Stop sending Firearms and ammunition.
Stop the Open airfields for drug cartels and weapons traffic.
Stop the Open seaports for drug cartels and weapons traffic.
Stop Open borders for contraband and human traffic.
Stop NGO’s corruption.
Start with Haitian democratic elections. (They will need official Identification to vote)
