Why is Haiti the poorest country in the world if it has plenty of farmland, good climate, and plenty of rivers?
Haiti's total land area is 27,600 square kilometers. Fifty-eight percent of land is agricultural. Forty percent of total land area is arable and permanent cropland, of which 8.5% is irrigated.
Haiti is not the poorest country in the world, but read its history

no point developing your agriculture if your property rights have to be bribed from officials

It's the black country which has been the furthest separated from white colonialism and influence.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_occupation_of_Haiti any non-white country that is touched by whites gets ruined. if whites are so smart, why the fuck they just didnt stay inside europe, why did whites whites are not smart, they just keep stealing, barbarians 2000 years ago, barbarians today.

>What about Ethiopia? some italian influence from italianoccupation and colonialism and british influence.
The black country which has had the least contact with whites in recent history is haiti.
Haiti is the poorest country in the planet, there is literally no other.
Why did all places colonized by the French became absolute shitholes?

Botswana's relative lack of corruption puts many third world nations to shame.

France forced haiti into loaning a tremendous debt that lasted centuries

Despite the memes, Haiti was actually alright in the late 19th century. At least it was no worse off than any other Latin American country
US occupation+Duvalier dictatorship+earthquakes completely screwed it

Black people + Polish people chimping out simultaneously = chaotic combo

Zig Forumstards know literally nothing about hour history, just ignore them. >telephones, t.vs, radios >19th century american education... lmao

>telephones, t.vs, radios >19th century american education... lmao It was at this time, 1876–1877, that a new invention called the telephone emerged. It is not easy to determine who the inventor was. Both Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray submitted independent patent applications concerning telephones to the patent office in Washington on February 14, 1876.
Guglielmo Marconi In the mid 1890s, building on techniques physicists were using to study electromagnetic waves, Guglielmo Marconi developed the first apparatus for long distance radio communication
There are currently no functioning railways in Haiti, and there have never been any rail connections with the neighbouring Dominican Republic. However, between 1876 and the 1970s, various tramways and railways ran in the country. A tram network operated in the capital, Port-au-Prince, between 1897 and 1932.[1] Three railway lines, along with some industrial lines, constituted the Haitian national rail network. The first horse drawn street tramway opened in 1876, with rural railways constructed later

virtually no one had phones back then and radio did not become a public technology until the 1900s.

It was paying back independence debt to France since its independence until 1947 and apparently Duvalier pillaged the country's finances for his own gain. However, we have paid off some of their debts and they've had a lot of their other debts waived in the last few decades.
