The primary causes of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) were rooted in the brutal system of slavery and the harsh conditions faced by enslaved Africans on plantations in Saint-Domingue. Enlightenment ideas about liberty and equality inspired both the enslaved population and free people of color to seek independence from French colonial rule. Additionally, the influence of the French Revolution, which emphasized human rights, fueled the desire for freedom and self-determination among Haitians. The combination of systemic oppression, external revolutionary ideals, and the leadership of figures like Toussaint L'Ouverture ultimately led to the successful revolt and the establishment of Haiti as the first independent black republic.
