Haiti gained its independence from France through a successful slave revolt that began in 1791, led by figures such as Toussaint Louverture. The revolution was part of the larger context of the French Revolution, which inspired enslaved people to fight for their freedom. After years of conflict, the Haitian forces defeated the French in 1804, declaring Haiti the first independent nation in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the first post-colonial independent black-led nation in the world. The struggle for independence was marked by significant violence and upheaval, ultimately resulting in the abolition of slavery in Haiti.
