📅 1 Yanüari 1804 📍 Haiti

Haiti declared independence, following a revolution in which formerly enslaved people defeated French efforts to restore colonial rule. It became the first independent state born from a successful revolt against slavery and the only state established through a victorious general emancipation struggle. Its achievement challenged racial hierarchy across the Atlantic, while foreign powers isolated and economically punished the new republic.
