The final contingent of U.S. Marines withdrew from Haiti on 15 August 1934, ending the nineteen-year military occupation. The transfer followed prolonged Haitian opposition, including rural resistance, student strikes, and the 1929 massacre. Haitian authorities assumed formal command, but U.S. influence over Haiti’s finances and institutions continued beyond the troop withdrawal. Ending the occupation therefore marked an important recovery of sovereignty, not an immediate end to all forms of foreign economic control.
