The statement that describes the social division of Saint-Domingue before the Haitian Revolution is "While most people were Africans, a small group of French aristocrats controlled the government."

One of the important colonies the French had in the Caribbean islands was Saint Domingue. Today we know it as Haiti and was in possession of the French from 1659 to 1804. By the agreements reached in the Treaty of Riswick in 1607, the monarchy of Spain accepted the ruling of Tortuga Island and Saint-Domingue in the hands of France.
