      Greek War of Independence:
      Haiti was the first government of an independent state that recognised the Greek revolution against the Ottoman Empire. President Jean-Pierre Boyer, following a Greek request for assistance, addressed a letter on 15 January 1822. In the letter sent to Greek expatriates living in France, Adamantios Korais, Christodoulos Klonaris, Christodoulos Klonaris, Konstantinos Polychroniades and A. Bogorides, who had assembled themselves into a Committee which was seeking international support for the ongoing Greek revolution, expressed his support for the Greek Revolution and compared the struggle underfoot across the Atlantic to the struggle for independence in his own land. He apologized for being unable to support the Revolution in Greece financially, though he hoped he might be able to in the future. But he articulated his moral and political support for the revolution, notably by filling his letter with references to classical Greek history, demonstrating a detailed knowledge of this history and powerfully evoking the contemporary revolutionaries as the rightful heirs of their ancestors.

    Dominican here! I've been to Haiti and I absolutely loved it. Media is being so unfair with Haiti. In my country, you can perceive a lot of bad propaganda about the country, such as: they have no trees, they are the poorest and chaotic people on Earth and so on. I was sick of hearing all that stuff that our Dominican media tells us, so I decided to go to Haiti and I'm very proud to say that I loved the country, the people, the language, the culture... Everything. We are so alike and different at the same time that it is amazing to think that in just one island, you can appreciate such a variety of culture. Greetings to my fellow Haitians, from Dominican Republic. Love for you and your undoubtedly amazing country!

      Ulises Jorge Bidó I agree... despite the things that has happened on both sides may have, Somehow the media fails to bring out the positivity in the culture, the people, the food, beaches or anything else that makes us special .... It's why when people from other countries bring up Haiti or the whole island itself... the first thing that come out people's mouths are the failures of the country and or unfortunate events.

      Of course he did. Boyer marched with tens of thousands of troops less than two decades after Dessalines massacred thousands of Dominicans in Santiago and Moca after he was defeated by the French governor Ferrand, who was holding the city of Santo Domingo. Haitians made second class citizens out of Dominicans and worse during the 22 year occupation.

    When I was in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, I was able to communicate directly with the Creole-speaking locals (I speak French passably, so I was happy that I made myself understood). As an American, I was warmly received everywhere I went in that country. The omnipresent poverty was appalling, but the people's pride in their country's historical uniqueness was clear, as well (I remember a small group of children who approached me one morning, and sang their national anthem in French just for me).

    The Venezuela Relationship: After Simón Bolivar failed attempt to liberate Venezuela, he went to Jamaica and was denied protection, after an assassination attempt on his life, he went to Haiti where Petion granted him protection. The first President of Haiti Alexandre Petion gave him war strategy, soldiers, boats and money. Simon Bolivar went back and liberated Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Panama. Venezuela has an upmost respect for Haiti, because we played a roll and fought for their independence.
