Portal:Haitian history/Introduction

Haiti! Many people, upon mentioning this name, will show complete ignorance. Those who've actually paid attention in 5th Grade Geography will recall that it's an island on the Caribbean Sea--quite poor and in such a despereate condition. There are much more to Haiti than meets the eye, and what little speculations one might have heard. This is thus the purpose of this department, to educate people on this subject.

Haiti shares the Island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. It occupies the western third of the island, with a population of over seven million. It is true that a vast majority of the population is under poverty, but modern shame is found sometimes consolidated by past prides and glories, which Haiti has seen many of. It's one of the most interesting and compelling histories ever recorded by man.
