Toussaint Louverture led a successful slave revolt in which country?

The story behind the answer

Toussaint Louverture led the successful slave revolt in Haiti (then the French colony of Saint-Domingue). Beginning in 1791, he organized enslaved people into a disciplined force that defeated French, Spanish, and British armies, abolished slavery, and took control of the colony. Though Napoleon later arrested him and he died in a French prison in 1803, his revolution set the stage for Haiti’s 1804 independence—the first Black republic and the only nation born from a slave uprising.

Memory tip: France was the colonizer; Haiti was the battleground. Not the United States or Cuba—both ended slavery later—nor France itself. Think “Haiti = Saint-Domingue, sugar-rich colony, Toussaint’s triumph.”
