Historical background
The native Taino Amerindians - who inhabited the island of Hispaniola when it was discovered by Christopher COLUMBUS in 1492 - were virtually annihilated by Spanish settlers within 25 years.
In the early 17th century, the French established a presence on Hispaniola.
In 1697, Spain ceded to the French the western third of the island, which later became Haiti.

Economic overview
Haiti's economy suffered a severe setback when a 7.
1 magnitude earthquake damaged its capital city, Port-au-Prince, in January 2010.
Already the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with 80% of the population living under the poverty line and 54% in abject poverty, the damage to Port-au-Prince caused the country's GDP to contract an estimated 8% in 2010.
