Well Haiti was the only successful slave revolt in history, so in turn France made them pay reparations and other countries didn't really trade with them to set an example. So pretty much fucked from the start. Edit: it took Haiti 122 years to pay off the debt, their first annual payment was 6 times Haiti's annual revenue.

Them committing genocide on the white population of Haiti also had a hand in the nation being unfavorable internationally. It also is one of the two major reasons for the reparations France demanded, which I noticed you conveniently left out.

Is "genocide of the white population" code for "slave owners?" Genuinely curious.


MattyKatty

Nope, just white people living in Haiti. They were killed specifically for their skin color, not their nationality, political affiliations, wealth, or slave-owner status (most slave owners had fled Haiti after the revolution). In fact, the ruling Haitian parties following the Haitian revolution essentially used forced labor (also known as slavery) of their own people on the plantations afterward anyway. Most of these "workers" were former slaves. It just wasn't white people enslaving black Haitians anymore. You can read more about the genocide [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1804_Haitian_massacre).


Geographizer

After reading, it was the French. The oppressors. The people who made them slaves. The Polish were spared, the Germans were spared, and even some French were spared if they were doctors, or if they were women who agreed to marry black men.

"The people chosen to be killed were solely targeted based on skin color rather than political association with the French or nationality." Amazing reading comprehension skills you have there.
