content: Just add Haiti to the list of decimated countries after "winning their independence" from evil white colonialists.    It's actually kind of funny.  In a nutshell, slaves revolted, won independence, crops started failing so they forced the peasant class to work as slaves, basically.    Also interesting   "The independence of Saint-Domingue was proclaimed by Dessalines on 1 January 1804.[62] The exact number of deaths due to the Haitian Revolution is unknown. Dessalines was proclaimed "Emperor for Life" by his troops.[63] Dessalines at first offered protection to the white planters and others.[64] Once in power, he ordered the massacre of most whites. Without regard to age or gender, those who did not swear allegiance to him were slain.[65] In the continuing competition for power, he was assassinated by rivals on 17 October 1806.[66]" Dessalines was African, btw. Same shit, different colony.    Anyone else see a pattern here?
