The Haitian Revolution, which began in 1791, was primarily driven by the brutal conditions of slavery and the desire for freedom among enslaved Africans in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti). Inspired by the principles of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, enslaved people sought to overthrow their oppressors, leading to a violent revolt against plantation owners and colonial authorities. The uprising was fueled by the harsh treatment, inhumane living conditions, and the aspiration for equality and independence. Ultimately, the revolution resulted in Haiti becoming the first independent black republic in 1804 and the first successful slave rebellion in history.
