Interwar 16: The US Occupation of Haiti, 1915-1934

The sordid and criminal US occupation of Haiti 1915-1934 with resistance heroes like Charlemagne Peralte, occupiers like Smedley Butler, a young FDR who hoped he’d be remembered as a “Haiti man”… US racial obsessions and atrocities. And Haiti’s anomalous and scrupulous payment of the debts imposed on it, making it a paradise of American financial exploitation.
