Answer 1

The first Latin American nation to gain independence from European Control was Haiti. How? Well, to begin, this event was known widely as the Haiti Revolution. In the Haiti Revolution, blacks arose and with the help of the British, they won a huge victory over the French (which borders Europe and Africa). In 1803, French authorities gave in and surrendered. A year later, the Haitians assumed their independence and carried out from there, being not only the first Latin American country to gain independence, but also the first country to establish a successful slave rebellion.
