"Haiti's struggles after 1804 independence stem from both external and internal factors. Externally, France imposed a 150-million-franc debt, draining Haiti's economy for 122 years. The U.S. occupation (1915–1934) controlled finances, diverting 40% of income to debt repayment. These actions suggest intentional efforts to limit Haiti, driven by economic and racial motives. Internally, political instability, corruption, and natural disasters like the 2010 earthquake hindered progress. Poor infrastructure and illiteracy also played roles. While external pressures were significant, internal challenges were equally critical, creating a complex barrier to prosperity."
