The island of Haiti also called the island of Hispaniola is one of many Caribbean islands inhabited at the time of European arrival by the Taino Indians. The island of Hispaniola was divided among five or six long-established caciquedoms. Taíno cultural artifacts include cave paintings in several locations in the country, which have become national symbols of Haiti. In 1492 Christopher Columbus landed at Mole Saint-Nicolas and in 1697 Haiti was colonized by the French.

How many countries colonized haiti?

Haiti was primarily colonized by France, which established control over the territory in the 17th century. Before French colonization, Spain also claimed the island of Hispaniola, which includes Haiti and the Dominican Republic, but the French eventually took over the western part where Haiti is located. After gaining independence in 1804, Haiti experienced brief occupations by the United States in the early 20th century but was not colonized by any other country thereafter. Thus, while France is the main colonizer, Spain also played a role in the early history of the island.
