Learn About the Seizure of Haiti by The United States in 1915

From 1804 to 1915 Haiti was a sovereign state under a republican form of government. As a recognized sovereign nation she became a signatory to The Hague Convention of 1907. She won her independence from France in 1804.

She was deprived of it in 1915 by the United States.

Since then we have been in virtual control of her territory, our marines have been in military occupation of the country, and the former republic has been stripped by us of every vestige of her sovereignty.

#Haiti2050

Our Vision is an Independent Haiti by the Year 2050

Haiti 2050 is our vision for the future of Haiti.

It is a movement built on the exact blueprint that created success among the “Asian Tigers,” one-time colonies like Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand that have emerged as dynamic colonies.

Built upon a foundation of 7 proven principles:

  1. Create sustainable economic development

  2. Rebuild our agricultural community

  3. Educate the future

  4. Strengthen and support the rule of law

  5. Engage international partners who share legitimate mutual interests with Haiti

  6. Promote a new hope and behavior that springs from a sustainable spiritual rebirth

  7. Guarantee transparency from government activities and commercial entities
