| - The external debt of Haiti is a notable and controversial national debt which mostly stems from an outstanding 1825 compensation to former slavers of the French colonial empire and later 20th century's corruptions. French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars in Europe allowed rebel Haitians slaves to out power French colonial rule and gain independence in the 1791–1804 Haitian Revolution. The restored French monarchy, supported by European monarchies, sent the to demand with military threats for massive compensations: Haiti must repay the French government and former slaveholders the modern equivalent of US$105 billion, later reduced to US$21 billion for the loss of massively profitable slave-plantations assets and revenues. This independence debt was financed by French banks and the American Citibank, and finally paid off in 1947. Later, the corrupt Duvalier dynasty added to the country's debts, and is believed to have used the money to expand their power and for their personal benefits. In the early 21st century, and especially after the devastating earthquake in 2010, the World Bank and some other governments forgave the remaining parts of Haiti's debts. France forgave a more recent loan with a balance of US$77 million, but has refused to consider repaying the independence debt. These debts are denounced at the root of today Haiti's poverty and a case of odious debt, debts forced upon a populations by abusive force. In 2022, The New York Times published a dedicated investigative series on that matter. (en)
