Haitian Revolution (1 gen 1791 anni – 1 gen 1803 anni)

Descrizione:

The French portion of the island of Hispaniola was the French revolution that provided the immediate inspiration and the opportunity for the revolution that broke out there in 1791. By May 1791 civil war had broken out between white settlers and gens de couleur. In 1802 Napoleon dispatched 40,000 troops to restore French authority in Saint-Domingue. Toussaint attempted to negotiate a peaceful settlement, but the French commander arrested him and sent him to France, where he died in jail of maltreatment in 1803.
