there are millions of earthqukes that have past
Haiti lies on the boundary of the Caribbean and North American plates. This area is known as a transform plate boundary where the plates slide past each other horizontally, causing frequent earthquakes.
By looking at the rocks and the way the layers of rock are stacked scientist feel they have pretty good idea of the time and severity of many past earthquakes.
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
No Haiti is not a Dictatorship, though it had been at a certain point in the past. Haiti is a democratic republic which is why it is called : La Republique D'Haiti

A route to where? There were many navigators during the past millennium seeking new routes to many places.
Haiti is located on the boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. This tectonic boundary is known as a strike-slip fault, with the plates sliding past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes.
Two faults slipping past each other caused the earthquake in Haiti. The fault slipping as the Pacific Plate slid under the South American Plate raising the Andes Mountains caused the earthquake in Chile. Or, while both were caused by moving faults, the faults moved for different reasons.
