Haiti (Haïti in French; Ayiti in Haitian Creole), officially the Republic of Haiti, occupies one third of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola and also includes many smaller islands, such as La Gonâve, La Tortue (Tortuga), Les Cayemites, Île à Vache, La Grande Caye and Navasse. Haiti shares Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. The total area of Haiti is 10,714 square miles (27,750 km²) and its capital is Port-au-Prince.
A former French colony, it became the second independent country in the Americas (after the United States) when it declared its independence in 1804. It was also the first independent black republic in the world. Despite its longevity compared to other countries in the region, it is the most impoverished nation in the Western Hemisphere.
Haiti has recently undergone a state of transition following an uprising which deposed President Jean-Bertrand Aristide on February 29, 2004. He had been re-elected in 2000 in an election which several parties boycotted due to disputes with the vote-counting of a previous parliamentary election. René Préval was elected president in his place on February 7, 2006, and took office in May.
