Toussaint Louverture was called the "Black Napoleon" due to his military prowess and leadership during the Haitian Revolution, where he played a crucial role in leading enslaved people to fight for their freedom against colonial powers. His strategic brilliance and ability to organize troops mirrored Napoleon Bonaparte's tactics, earning him this nickname. Additionally, like Napoleon, Louverture sought to establish a strong, autonomous state, showcasing his ambition and vision for Haiti's future.
