In 1791, Haiti broke out an independent revolution against French colonial rule. The famous leader was Dusan Louvidour, who was born as a black slave. Dusan was originally a slave and carriage driver of a plantation owner, but he was curious, read the works of the French Enlightenment, fought bravely in the uprising, and became a well-loved leader.
After the Haitian Revolution, the French Legislative Council sent 6000 expeditionary troops to Haiti in 1792 to suppress the revolution. The Spanish colonists in the eastern part of Santo Domingo also sent troops to invade Haiti in the name of helping Dusan to fight the French. The British also sent troops to Haiti. . Under the leadership of Dusan Louvidul, the Haitian people waged a desperate struggle with the enemy. In May 1794, the French Revolution entered its climax, and the ruling Jacobins passed a decree to abolish slavery in the colony, enabling the Haitian people to achieve one of their goals.
But the Haitian people are not satisfied with this. They want to achieve national and national independence. In October 1798, the British who invaded Haiti were driven away. After that, Du Sang put down the local mixed-race rebellion and eliminated internal troubles. At the beginning of 1801, Dusan led his team to cross the border into Santo Domingo under Spanish rule, and entered Santo Domingo on January 21. In this way, Dusan unified the island. Then, he led the establishment of the people's power. On July 7, a parliament was convened to formulate a constitution, announcing the liberation of all black slaves, and Dusan was elected to govern for life.
Although Dusan was deceived by the French invaders and was arrested and died in a French prison, the Haitian revolution he led finally officially declared Haitian independence in 1804.
