The Haitian Revolution Explained: The First Successful Slave Rebellion (1791-1804) ✊🏿

The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) was the first and only successful slave revolt in history, leading to the creation of Haiti, the first black republic and independent Caribbean nation. It began in Saint-Domingue, the wealthiest French colony, where enslaved Africans, led by Toussaint Louverture and later Jean-Jacques Dessalines, rose against colonial rule.

Despite efforts by Napoleon Bonaparte to crush the rebellion, the revolutionaries defeated the French army, abolishing slavery and securing Haiti’s independence in 1804. This revolution not only challenged colonialism and slavery but also inspired independence movements worldwide. However, Haiti's victory came at a cost—economic sanctions and political isolation that shaped its future.
