A Century in the Development of Haiti (1915 to 2014): Foreign Domination Serving Foreign Interests

Over the past century, the US intervention in Haiti has exacerbated poverty and inequality, hampering democracy and independence in Haiti. These relationships also had an adverse effect on the economy and social life, creating the situation currently faced by Haiti. It was in 1915 that the US Marine Corps began to occupy Haiti. I am modern because the relationship between America and Haiti is still being used. I analyze the political decision imposed by the US government on Haiti, including support for military occupation, authoritarian rulers and leaders who oppress democratic elections.

Take "shithole" Haiti as an example - the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Beginning in 1915, the United States began to occupy Haiti to secure its economic interests - primarily sugar production. In 1934 the occupation ended and a series of US - supported dictatorships followed the Papadoc and eventually leading to pain and murder of Baby Dog Du Valier. At least 60,000 people died alone in Papadoc. Finally, in 1991, Haiti elected the first Democratic president who was immediately dismissed with a coup d 'etat, and many sources said CIA participated.

From 1915 to 1934, Haiti was occupied by the US Marine Corps. The United States asserts that its action is justified on the basis of Monroe (the US has the right to prevent European interference in the Western Hemisphere) and humanitarian grounds. However, many Haitians believe that Marines are truly dispatched to protect US investment and establish the foundation for protecting the Panama Canal. Haiti signed a treaty with the United States signed for the first ten years and then expanded the financial and political control of the United States. Under the supervision of the Marine Corps in 1918, a new Constitution was introduced in elections, allowing foreigners to possess land with Haiti.

We can go back to the US occupation of Haiti from 1915 to 1934. The US government rewritten the "Haitian Constitution" and reversed the principle that foreigners, especially in Haiti, could not possess property there. This opens the way for American companies to enter and took most of what they wanted. It is the name that all help Haiti. You can return to 1957 when Francois Duvalier held power. He and his son, Jean-Claude Duvalier, sponsored a terrorist activity for thirty years, thousands of Haitians were murdered, tortured and missing. The US government supports Duvalier - in addition to killing, torture and disappearance, they are anti-Communists

Before Francois Duvalier comes up, please do not think the situation of Haiti is much better. On the contrary, Haiti has experienced several problems since the beginning of this century. The 1915 American intervention lasted only four years in 1915. As a result, it was impossible for the US government to change the big problem that had plagued the country and the people. The US military began to rule the country until 1934, and after they left, Haiti experienced a number of "coup d'etats" and riots. The last political turmoil until Duvalier took office was elected in September 1957 as a candidate when François Duvallier himself was forced to resign after a political uprising on December 6, 1956
