That history has already been re-written by the left; Haiti failed because of reparations they had to pay the French for seizing properties and such.

Now Haiti has joined the cluster of non-white countries seeking free money because they are victims of “climate change”. Years ago a I saw an aerial photo in National Geographic of the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic; the contrast was STARK - a perfect line where lush vegetation met a desert. Apparently the Haitians never replanted as they took down forests for cooking fires - and it shows.

Definitely white peoples’ fault - even though Haiti had been independent for over 175 years...

Do gooders keep running down there to plant trees when they should be going down there to bring fuel.

Read an article that said we should be making cooking fuel with something Haiti has in abundance, Garbage!

Still OBVIOUS on much of the border, have a look at Google Maps.

...and funny how ‘climate change’ seems to stop at political borders.
