Question

Saint Domingue, a French colony in the Caribbean Sea where 100,000 enslaved people rebelled, became a country called:

a) Haiti
b) Jamaica
c) Puerto Rico
d) Dominican Republic

Answer 1

Option a), Saint-Domingue, the French colony where a remarkable rebellion of 100,000 enslaved people occurred, became the independent country of Haiti after successfully overthrowing the colonial regime and declaring independence in 1804.

Step-by-step explanation:

The French colony of Saint-Domingue in the Caribbean Sea witnessed a massive rebellion of enslaved people that led to the creation of an independent country. This revolt is known as the Haitian Revolution, which was led by Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines.

Through a hard-fought struggle and the overthrow of the brutal colonial system, the nation formerly known as Saint-Domingue became Haiti after declaring independence in 1804. Haiti was the first country in the Western Hemisphere to be founded by formerly enslaved people and the second to gain independence from a European power after the United States.
