            Why has Haiti failed to develop in ways that benefit the majority of their populations? And why have their political problems proved so intractable? .
             To fully comprehend the problems of imbalanced development and political repression within present-day Haiti, we must consider the complete history of the island. By examining Haiti, starting with its colonized years and continuing past its independence up until now, we can trace the development of the intractable hardships that plague the nation. The following essay will be in chronological order. It will outline the social and political institutions that have been practiced throughout Haiti's history, and conclude by determining why Haiti has failed to develop in ways that benefit the majority of its population and why it has been persistently locked down by political problems. .
             Early colonization - Spain.
             The island dubbed Hispaniola, which consists of both Haiti and the Dominican Republic in contemporary geography, was one of several landfalls made by Christopher Columbus. Soon after, the Spanish colonized the land for the duration of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Native Indians quickly became extinct, and black slaves were imported from Africa; the distinct ways of the pre-Columbian colony became a mystery. The future of Haiti was being paved by the new colonized African settlers. .
             Haiti under French rule.
             Back in Europe, Spain grew increasingly weaker relative to the French, and an agreement between the two nations gave birth to the French colony of Santo Domingo, which was part of Hispaniola. The French continued the colonization of the land presently known as Haiti and it proved to be France's most successful overseas colony. The French continuously required inexpensive labour to fully exploit the valuable resources, like sugar and coffee, and meet the demands that these products had back home. The institution of slavery continued, and even more African slaves were imported.
