History of the U S Landing and Occupation in Haiti

On July 29, 1915, the United States initiated a military invasion of Haiti, which marked the start of its occupation that continued until 1934. Once in Haiti, the U.S. took control of the country's finances and military, establishing a military government. They implemented significant changes to the Haitian administration and economy, prioritizing their own interests and leaving the country in chaos, with its sovereignty undermined.
