The French government initially responded to the Haitian Revolution by attempting to suppress it through military intervention, sending troops to restore colonial control. However, as the revolution progressed and the enslaved population fought for their freedom, France faced significant challenges, including the loss of soldiers and resources. Ultimately, the revolution led to the declaration of Haitian independence in 1804, forcing France to recognize the loss of its colony and leading to a long-term impact on its colonial policies in the Americas.
French aristocrats
While most people were Africans a small group of French aristocrats controlled the government. (Apex)
Before the Haitian Revolution, the government of Saint-Domingue was primarily controlled by wealthy white plantation owners known as the "grands blancs." This elite class held significant political and economic power, often at the expense of the enslaved majority and free people of color. Tensions between these groups, along with the influence of the French Revolution's ideals of liberty and equality, ultimately contributed to the uprising that led to Haiti's independence.
The American Revolution inspired many other revolutions such as the Haitian Revolution and the French Revolution. The American Revolution showed that Revolutions could be started and ended with a good outcome. So the Haitians, Latins, French, and a bunch of other countries revolted.
The American Revolution created a lasting form of liberal government, while the French Revolution did not.
The Haitian Revolution was a slave revolution against their French Masters, The French Revolution was a grass roots revolution against the Monarchy.

There were a series of Haitian rebellions, but only the revolution from 1791 to 1803 actually pushed the French out of the country.
the Haitian revolution was started by slaves, (Toussain L'Ouverture was the leader) both haiti and France were french-speaking and both revolutions took place between 1750 and 1914 (for all the ap world people ;)
Black slaves led by François Dominique Toussaint L'Ouverture fought the French, English, and Spanish in the Haitian Revolution.
Both were inspired by Enlightment ideals.
the wealthy french planters
The American and French Revolutions inspired the Haitian Revolution in the late 18th century. They provided models of independence, equality, and freedom that influenced the enslaved people of Haiti to rise up against their colonial oppressors and fight for their own emancipation.
Each had their own significance. On a world terms the French revolution had a greater impact.
they were shocked
The American Revolution and the French Revolution inspired the Haitian Revolution by influencing ideas about liberty, equality, and independence among the enslaved population in Haiti. These revolutions provided examples of successful uprisings against oppressive colonial powers.
