On the 7th of July 2021, a score of armed mercenaries broke into the presidential residence and killed the president of Haiti, Jovenel Moïse, sparking a nationwide state of emergency and political crisis. In this video I explore the entire history of Haiti leading up to that point, from the Native American Taíno peoples to the coming of the Spanish and establishment of the colony of Santo Domingo with Christopher Columbus, through the French settlement of Sainte-Domingue and the importation of thousands of African slaves leading to the creation of the Voodoo/Vodou belief system and the eventual Haitian Revolution in which these slaves revolted under the leadership of Toussaint Louverture and later Jean-Jacques Dessalines to oust the French with the aide of their native and Polish allies. I will explore the turbulent early years of the indepedent Empire, Kingdom, and Republic of Haiti as they struggled against the Dominican Republic and internal problems and the payment of millions of Francs in debt to France, finally also the occupation of the United States in 1915 and the subsequent string of dictators, most famously Francois Duvalier or 'Papa Doc' and his son Jean-Jacques Duvalier 'Baby Doc' and the run of unstable elections and internal fighting between their successors, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, René Préval and finally Jovenel Moïse.

From 2005 until 2010, Governor General of Canada was Michelle Jean, a Haitian refugee who had fled the Duvalier regime in 1967. On May 10, 2010, Princess Margriet of the Netherlands presented Jean with a new tulip cultivar named the Michaëlle Jean tulip; with deep maroon petals; it was designed to reflect the Governor General's personal tastes. This carried on the tradition of Dutch royalty giving tulips as gifts to Canada. During the Trump presidency, more than 18,000 Haitians left the USA to seek refugee status in Canada.

I would very much love to see a video about the Poles on Haiti. Polish historian Jan Pachoński actually questioned if the Legionaries were really changing sides and fighting for the -insurgents- freedom fighters in significant numbers, but his main sources were the relations of a handful of officers, who managed to survive, came back to Europe and continued to fight for Napoleon in the army of the Duchy of Warsaw (like Kazimierz Lux, who was also a pirate for a time). So maybe they had an interest in downplaying it? I only read a book in Polish about it ages ago, but there is also a book in English with the same author (coauthor in this case): Pachoński Jan and Reuel K. Wilson. Poland's Caribbean Tragedy: A Study of Polish Legions in the Haitian War of Independence, 1802-1803.

[@druhefner793]

Insurgents? I’m curious about your choice of words. How exactly did you manage to label freedom fighters into “insurgents”. I’m going to allow you to respond before I say anything else.

From what I’ve read a substantial number(about half or a third of the original 5,000 that was sent to Haiti) did eventually fight for the revolutionaries and that after the war some left and 400 stayed.It’s interesting what those who went back to Europe and kept on fighting for Napoleon said.Perhaps they lied and said they were prisoners of war who were freed after Haiti won the rebellion

The sorrowful history of Haiti given in the meliflous tones of the English north-west-good as always. Anything to do with the Poles is interesting, so, yes please do their history in Haiti-it might be useful to do a whole history of Poland and its diaspora (I pronounce that 'deeaspora', which, pace your pronunciation is, I think correct in English)-a nation that refused to be killed off

[@jodiamarketing4118]

Great video bro, i'm Haitian and some stuff i didn't know...Do a video on the Polish in Haiti, i heard about them, they live in a place where they are mixed with Haitians, i think it's called Cazale.

[@feartheshadows956]

In your languages of British Isles you said you'd do a video on scots. I've been waiting 4 years and still no video

[@kotaniyumiko]

@A Velsen the English and the Scots are not the same people. They are both part of the UK now but they were occupied by different groups of people and had distinctly different histories until James l became the King of both England and Scotland

[@Dancingonthesun]

That's probably because it's not coming

[@kennethknoppik5408]

This is going to be cool. Just got done with Mike Duncan revolutions podcast on the Haitian revolution.

[@worthit5064]

plz make video on Polish hati people too. I love your videos , simple and great animation. keep it up mate.

[@emmanuelflores1557]

I like the idea about polish and Haitian relations and history

[@darraghchapman]

I love your attention to proper native pronunciation, it really sets you apart from the Simon Whistlers of this world (NativLang is another guy that does it right, and it's so bloody satisfying) That being said, I always pronounced Haiti as [haiti], rather than [heɪti], thinking that the latter was a crude americanism. Even before I had heard it spoken I had presumed that pronunciation, and it jives with the French et al...

"Santo," not "Santa" Domingo. "Domingo" is masculine, thus "Santo." Otherwise, great.

[@IsAcRafT]

@lyhk144G7 lies, it belongs to the Dominicans which suffered many abuses under Haitian Rule, from closing The Santo Tomás de Aquino university (the current Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo) to sistemic racism against mixed people and everyone who wasn't "black" by their standards and the worst were the atrocities committed by Dessaline.

[@Baccanaso]

@lyhk144G7 lol Haitians aren't native though wtf are you even talking about.

[@talalshahbaz2220]

A video about vodo or the Haitians poles would be cool

[@anniebdhdbbeidb]

We wanna see a video on the polish people of Haiti!! ☀️

[@EmperorHirohito-kv2uc]

How about you do an episode on the Ukrainian Insurgent Army ? Please ?

[@bigboizism]

@A Velsen ?

[@bigboizism]

@A Velsen I'm pretty sure that OP is referring to the World War era Nationalist organization www.wikiwand.com/en/Ukrainian_Insurgent_Army

[@GarfieldRex]

Here from Colombia: it's very sad for our nationals because the majority of them really thought they were protecting VIPs and didn't know about the true mission until the last day, too late for backing down. CTU is Venezuelan, but still the majority of the money was collected by Haitian politicians. The fact that there was no escape plan can add to the version that the operation was actually a coup de etat. Colombian ex military have worked in Afghanistan, Syria, etc for American private companies so some of them really thought it was just another "tour". Shame on those who set up everything for this cruel murder.

[@cekan14]

Santo Domingo*, not 'Santa Domingo'; but good video.

[@akramgimmini8165]

I would love to see a video about the Haitian-Poles

Wasn’t the right hand man of Dessalines also a Moïse. Is there any relationship between the two?

[@healthlyght3051]

I didn't know this maybe.......I know Cape Lamont ( spelling is bad) was Dessaline trusted right hand man.

Thanks. You taught me a ton. This mans needs a slot at NYU

[@blairhesse6918]

I'm surprised you did not mention the night of Bwa Kayiman in the Plaine du Nord, when discussing the beginning of the revolution in the north. That was the beginning of the revolution, when the lwa were called down and a sacrifice was made to lead them to freedom.
