The slave revolt in Haiti, which began in 1791, ultimately led to the successful overthrow of French colonial rule. After years of conflict, the enslaved population, led by figures such as Toussaint L'Ouverture, established the first independent black republic, declaring Haiti's independence in 1804. This revolt not only abolished slavery in Haiti but also inspired other anti-colonial movements across the Americas. However, the new nation faced ongoing economic challenges and political instability, partly due to international isolation and reparations imposed by France.
