The slave revolt in Haiti, known as the Haitian Revolution, resulted in the establishment of Haiti as the first independent Black republic in 1804, following a successful uprising against French colonial rule. The revolution led to the abolition of slavery in the country and inspired other liberation movements in the Americas. However, Haiti faced significant economic and diplomatic challenges afterward, including a heavy indemnity imposed by France, which hindered its development for decades. The revolution remains a symbol of resistance against oppression and colonialism.
