France attempted to colonize Haiti, originally known as Saint-Domingue, during the 17th and 18th centuries. The French established a lucrative sugar and coffee plantation economy, relying heavily on enslaved African labor. Haiti ultimately gained independence from France in 1804 after a successful slave revolt, becoming the first independent nation in Latin America and the Caribbean.
