Haiti is significant as a former colony because it was the only successful slave revolt that led to the establishment of the first independent black republic in 1804. This event challenged the institution of slavery and inspired movements for independence and abolition worldwide. Haiti's history as a former colony continues to shape its socio-political landscape and international relations today.
