Haiti is a Caribbean country located on the western third of the island of Hispaniola. It shares the island with the Dominican Republic and has a population of approximately 11 million people. The capital and largest city of Haiti is Port-au-Prince. Haiti is known for its vibrant culture, rich history, and natural beauty, including stunning beaches and mountainous landscapes.
The country has faced significant challenges, including political instability, natural disasters, and poverty. Haiti became the first independent black-led nation in the world after a successful slave rebellion against French colonial rule in the early 19th century.
Haiti is a predominantly French and Creole-speaking nation with a diverse cultural heritage that reflects African, French, and indigenous Taíno influences. The country's economy is primarily based on agriculture, with coffee, mangoes, and sugarcane being major exports.
Tourism is also important to the Haitian economy, with visitors drawn to the country's historical sites, unique art, and carnival celebrations. Despite its challenges, Haiti remains a resilient nation with a strong sense of community and cultural pride.
