Haiti

Occupying mainly rugged mountainous terrain with small pockets of coastal plains, Haiti is the third largest country in the Caribbean, sharing the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. It’s had a troubled existence over the last century. Occupied from 1915 by the US for 20 years, governed by the disreputable Duvaliers and their Tonton Macoute enforcers for 40 years before enduring a number of coup d'états since 1991.
