How Did the Haitians Beat FOUR European Countries (And Became a Poor Nation)

THose greedy Frenchmen paid for their cruelty but too bad that all that cruelty also affected the Haitians for generations to come.

Unfortunately history repeats itself and even today many nations and human beings have to fight for their freedom without being able to think of the consequences. It comes to a point where you either live unhappy as a slave of something bigger than you or sacrifice your body and soul to become free to pursue your own happiness…
Not only Haiti having to pay large amounts of money to France to guarantee their freedom, many other Latin American and African countries still suffer the aftermath of colonizers and their abuse towards the people they tried to keep exploiting at all cost. We can only hope that someday in the future every nation becomes self-sufficient and highly developed enough to provide access to the same opportunities to everybody no matter where they are without compromising their freedom

When you push To raise wapons just To be. You do it like a Haïtian

I have yet to hear of this story of the Haitian revolution told accurately, even by so called historians.

The African Union is not a Union without Haiti.

Another thing, do your research? Who killed our president Jovenel Moïse?

We are not poor country, why don’t you ask Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Brother question about Haiti, and also ask The President Of France, Canada, USA, Dominicain Republic why Haiti became poor? We have so much gold, Diamonds, urinium, under ground, USA , Canada, France are taking them all, since 2004 USA occupied Haiti so no o other states or countries unable to help Haiti. Haiti help 50 states fight to gain power including USA

France’s barbarism is still in full swing in Africa, even till this day these Barbarians steal from Africa.

they killed all Europeans and then burned all the cotton, sugarcane and tobacco fields, so they impoverished themselves , a valuable lesson to learn

They say he used magic and mindcontrol to make whites kill eachother during the war, they say he had so much power when he joined with other black magicians, whitepeople started truning to dust. Wow but like they hid the jamestown cannibalism for so long theyre probably going to hide allot of what really happened...they dont even teach this in the Haitian school system

I wish this happened all over the world especially the usa

France been at it 😂

Haiti hasn’t worked out well. It’s poor and very corrupt. In contrast Dominican Republic is doing much better.

"This is the 1st and only time that a slave rebellion led to a new country".
It's because they weren't slaves to begin with.

After killing my black brothers and sisters, subjecting them to force labour over the years , without food and water, you still charged them to pay huge amounts of money and finally make them very poor. I'm from Cameroon, Africa, I feel so bad for the treatment of black people in the world.

Still Africa is the pree 😢😢😢

So called Haitians are from the tribe of Levi as Moses was ... they were supposed to be the priest and oracles of the most high. God gave only to them the urin and Turin but they chose to use it for Evil things that why they are cursed..

This is a sad story.

Guys pay attention to these history channels. especially if they’re white. We’re well aware of they rewrite and leave out important historical facts. A lot of them are closer racist trying to manipulate history.

Haiti didn't become a poor nation. It just never developed the skills necessary to become a wealthy nation.

"The slave master is a subtle beast."
Deception, and half-truths is their “character” default...
Check out the comments for crucial info left undisclosed. Shame on you!!!👇🏾

Heavy

Haiti paid French slaveholders and their descendants the equivalent of between $20 and $30 billion in today's dollars. They paid reparations for their own freedom to the colonizers.

In 1914, the Wilson administration sent U.S. Marines into Haiti. They removed $500,000 from the Haitian National Bank in December of 1914 for safe-keeping in New York, thus giving the United States control of the bank.

Ps General Leclerc was a cold dude

Meanwhile, folks in Guadaloupe, Dominique, and St. Martin are living the good life. Just saying.

Haiti did not beat four European powers. It got lucky with the French but then had to admit to a humiliating and crushing indemnity to avoid war.

The narrator is a clown 🤡

Haiti was forced to pay FRANCE war reparations for many decades because of the Revolution and that contributed to Haiti’s economic instability.

The video is BS. They lost me at Blood Thirsty leader.

Didn’t learn this in school 🤔 would love a detailed movie like this, not glory with Denzel holding the flag at the end

Wow, Haiti should be celebrated!
This is why no mention of this is in any history book in the west. From this moment on, I will honor and respect any Haitian; good or bad.

Lots of important facts, names and events were left out of this. First, France was not in "disarray" as the cause of losing the first Haitian rebellion - France put up an organized and vicious repression. After Haitians won, Napoleon reinvaded and France lost again. Then France, Britain and the US threatened to invade together and ransomed Haiti for all their wealth. That was alongside France's demand for "reparations" for lost colonial revenue and war expenditures under the threat of reinvasion. This low-quality vid is what happens when outsiders tell someone else's history. We should have a Haitian scholar tell us about Haitian history.

Papa Doc?

The French wanted money. America invaded Haiti several times, controlled the ports and gave France Haiti's money. Tell the whole story not selectove parts of the story

They didn't beat anything!!! You call their current state of affairs a win, lol!

The title tells you why.

France stole all of the Haitians Gold ! Facts

Not anyone of European Desecent they spared the Polish Serfs Napleon put on the island to fight the Haitian Slaves they just killed the French!

For all the people who are complaining about what this video left out or wording used to describe one man and not another--when are YOU going to create a mini-documentary that is more accurate and portrays the Haitian position in a more complete and fair light? Criticizing is easy, but creating is a completely different challenge, isn't it? Now, if you choose to re-invent my post as a justification for some inaccuracy or pretend that my post is a defense for an unfair view against Haitians, you are probably too lost to be found. I'm not defending the video, but asking those who criticize videos like this one to do more than complain.

Alex made it possible to have them selves look at selling slavery from the heat they have from each other they sold each other house learn who you are people learn what your people are learn where you

I can show all this black shit all you want this African shit on me shit to me I’ve been treated by my people that shit all my life everybody else treat me good I didn’t see no love from Black people only my family get the fuck out of here with this African history. Shit don’t mean shit to me I take care of my family you take care of yours.

I never got how White people even know all
The history of how different races of blacks was robbed of everything n still disagree when a black person say “We deserve reparations “ we can allllll agree on the history of us being robbed of our languages and ect, but we don’t deserve reparations for it🤔 American white people are the Most evil til this day🤦🏾‍♂️

No one spends time,resources or risk there credibility to prevent slave rebellion they dont think is possible. All african rebellion in the west have been successful and the ploy to prevent and cicumvent BN will end up the same way. Its a matter of the right gate at the right time. Now!

No mention of Henri Christophe, I think he ushered in the Haitian currency known as Gourdes.

Who gave the european their freedom that places them above US to decide when we can be free?

Your European lies will come to an end, we dealt with you then we will deal with you now. matter of African spirituality cannot be touched. We cannot be touched, we cannot be touched. We're gonna see all of your haters all of your racist All of You'll will be judged before you die and after you die.
You will be judged. Osiris Amun Ra lived

Paying France for their existence doesn't help.

The author of the declaration of Independence wrote this
" For our declaration of independence, we should have the skin of a white man for parchment, his skull for an inkwell, his blood for ink, and a bayonet for a pen!"

Most of the comments in this thread are the same old blame 'wipepo' mentality. So many black people never stop whining and crying like big babies.

When the more intelligent black people try and point out that their people need to take responsibility for their own actions, work hard and stop blaming other races, and genuinly try to help their brethren they are ostracised by the rest of the black community and called things like 'uncle Tom' and 'Choc Ice'.

Imagine being so lazy that your people gain control from whites in Haiti then starve and remain poor for the next 200 years.

Imagine being so lazy that when you get independence from white people in Rhodesia, which was so productive when whites ran the country it was known as the bread basket of Africa while under white control, going from that to turning it practically back into a poor desert within a few years.

Imagine being so lazy that a great country called S Africa a world super power after only a relatively short time being run by whites, then your people, blacks take control and are turning back into a poor dirty third world shithole as we speak.

Ive personally visited Africa on two occasions. Everywhere we went the women were working in the fields some had babies strapped to their backs while the men lazed about, smoking and doing nothing productive.
Everywhere we went this was the same. At first i could not believe my eyes but then i understood a lot more why things are the way they are.

Imagine spending your whole life blaming white people for your problems when 99% of problems you have have come from your own people.

Now that is truly pathetic.
