The slave uprising in Haiti, known as the Haitian Revolution, was primarily led by Toussaint L'Ouverture. He emerged as a prominent leader in the late 18th century, organizing enslaved people in their fight for freedom against French colonial rule. Under his leadership, the revolution transformed into a broader struggle for independence, ultimately leading to Haiti's establishment as the first independent Black republic in 1804. L'Ouverture's strategies and diplomatic skills were crucial to the revolution's early successes.

The slave revolt in Haiti, known as the Haitian Revolution, began in 1791 and was a pivotal conflict that led to the first successful slave uprising in history. Enslaved Africans in the French colony of Saint-Domingue rose against their oppressors, inspired by the ideals of the French Revolution. After years of brutal fighting, the revolution culminated in the establishment of Haiti as an independent nation in 1804, making it the first black-led republic and the second independent nation in the Americas. The revolution significantly impacted global discussions on slavery and colonialism.
