Haiti was the first Latin American country to achieve independence, declaring it on January 1, 1804, after a successful slave revolt against French colonial rule. This revolutionary movement, led by figures like Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, established Haiti as the first independent nation in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the first post-colonial independent black-led nation in the world.
