Haiti
Haiti appears on the map from 1792 to 1802. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1792, it covered about 31,347 km².
The French colony of Saint-Domingue was the richest in the Caribbean, producing sugar and coffee with the labour of about half a million enslaved Africans. In 1791 they rose in revolt, and under the formerly enslaved Toussaint Louverture they ended slavery and fought off Spanish, British and French armies. When Napoleon tried to restore slavery, Jean-Jacques Dessalines led the final war and on 1 January 1804 declared independence, naming the country Haiti. More about Haiti.
