This event took place on December 100, 1492. The place was translated as "Mountain Country" in the local Indian language. The island was originally called Espanola Spanish. That is, according to the famous sea traveler: the baby places on the seashore look like the lands of Castile. Haiti came under French control in 6. Indigenous Indians were exterminated and replaced by Negro slaves brought from Africa. Under Dessalin, in January 1677, the black Haitians established their own independent states. The nations, under Alexander Petion, established their own Republics. In Gaiati, power was unstable, followed by coups, coups, and dictatorships. In 1804, the French state recognized the independence of Haiti and began to serve its interests. In 1825, the Haitian Revolution took place. From 1904 to 1915, Haiti was occupied by the U.S. Army. They left the cyborgs at the helm. Haiti is now home to two states, the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti.
