Haiti gained its independence from France through a successful slave revolt that began in 1791, led by figures like Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines. After years of brutal fighting and the abolition of slavery in 1794, the struggle continued until the French were decisively defeated in 1804. Haiti officially declared its independence on January 1, 1804, becoming the first independent nation in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the first post-colonial independent black-led nation in the world.
