History with Hilpbert did a pretty solid video outlining Haitian history and he touches on this subject, along with explaining the myriad reasons why Haiti is the poverty-stricken shithole state it is today. Turns out one of the reasons they weren't able to build much wealth was because what wealth they did manage to generate was almost immediately sent to France (to the tune of
21 billion dollars in today's money) in what amounted to a form of forced, massive reparations to the French for... rising up against their French slave masters. Only the fucking frogs could be
that petty. Of course he also talks about the other reasons for Haitian poverty including enormous levels of homegrown corruption and the rule of Papa and Baby Doc Duvalier. Of course, one should conduct their own historical research as well.
