      It is a nation on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The western third of the island is occupied by the nation of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands that are occupied by two countries. Both by area and population, the Dominican Republic is the second largest Caribbean nation (after Cuba), with 48,442 square kilometres (18,704 sq mi) and an estimated 10 million people.Inhabited by Taínos since the seventh century, the territory of the Dominican Republic was reached by Christopher Columbus in 1492 and became the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Americas, namely Santo Domingo, the country's capital and Spain's first capital in the New World. In Santo Domingo stand, among other firsts in the Americas, the first university, cathedral, and castle, the latter two in the Ciudad Colonial area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

      Haiti was first called Santo Domingo. It was very rich because they had sugar. Back then sugar was like gold if you have sugar you have power. They had sugar plantations. Back then they spoke some sort of french but not the same kind of french in France. For example, if you were a Haitian and you went to France they would know you were a Haitian by what French you speak. Back then there were white masters who had slaves. Black ones. They had enough. During the french revolution there was a slave revolt. They attacked their master. Killed "everyone". By everyone I mean not just the master, if you were related to them you would die as well. In the United States they were terrified. Especially in the south. They were more harsh on their slaves. They did not let them look at the newspapers because they were afraid it would happen there. They burnt down 184 sugar plantations because that is where they worked and where they're power came from. With the situation of Haiti in the present it is good to see how their past is.

      Haiti was the first place to let all people come together no matter what races they are. They even did it before us, the United States. The story about the slave revolt is very similar to the story of Spartacus. As a matter of fact T.L was known as the black Spartacus. T.L. stands for Toussaint l'Ouverture. He was a former slave and the leader of the slave revolt. He grew up in a sugar plantation and then he was free.

      Haiti's regional, historical and ethnolinguistic position is unique for several reasons. It was the first independent nation in Latin America and the first black-led republic in the world when it gained independence as part of a successful slave rebellion in 1804.[5] Despite having common cultural links with its Hispano-Caribbean neighbors, Haiti is the only predominantly Francophone independent nation in the Americas. It is one of only two independent nations in the Americas (along with Canada) that designate French as an official language; the other French-speaking areas are all overseas départements, or collectivités, of France.Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and has experienced political violence throughout its history. Most recently, in February 2004, an armed rebellion forced the resignation and exile of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and a provisional government took control with security provided by the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). Rene Preval, the current president, was elected in the Haitian general election, 2006.On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti and devastated the capital city Port-au-Prince. Reportedly more than 150,000 people were killed, although the exact number is unknown and the reported number fluctuates, and a large number are homeless.The Presidential palace, Parliament and many other importation structures were destroyed, along with countless homes and businesses.

  • Vienna Lance (Hofburg spear) The Holy Lance in the Schatzkammer of Vienna The inscription on the Holy Lance The Holy Roman Emperors had a lance of their own, attested from the time of Otto I (912-973). In 1000 Otto III gave Boleslaw I of Poland a replica of the Lance at the Congress of Gniezno. In 1084 Henry IV had a silver band with the inscription "Nail of Our Lord" added to it. This was based on the belief that this was the lance of Constantine the Great which enshrined a nail used for the Crucifixion. In 1273 it was first used in the coronation ceremony. Around 1350 Charles IV had a golden sleeve put over the silver one, inscribed "Lancea et clavus Domini" (Lance and nail of the Lord). In 1424 Sigismund had a collection of relics, including the lance, moved from his capital in Prague to his birth place, Nuremberg, and decreed them to be kept there forever. This collection was called the Reichskleinodien or Imperial Regalia.

      The Spear of Destiny was one of the many names for the Holy Lance. The Holy Lance or what I call it the Spear of Christ was found be Peter Bartholomew. He had a dream or a vision that told him that the holy lance was under the church. He found it. When the crusaders went to fight with the holy lance they were encouraged. They said they saw an army of ghosts with white horses. They were freaked out for a second then they realized it was help from God. They won that battle!

    The lance is mentioned only in the Gospel of John (19:31-37) and not in any of the Synoptic Gospels. The gospel states that the Romans planned to break Jesus' legs, a practice known as crurifragium, which was a method of hastening death during a crucifixion. Just before they did so, they realized that Jesus was already dead and that there was no reason to break his legs. To make sure that he was dead, a Roman centurion named in extra-Biblical tradition as Longinus stabbed him in the side. '… but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance, and immediately there came out blood and water.' John 19:34 The phenomenon of blood and water was considered a miracle by Origen. Catholics generally choose to employ a more allegorical interpretation: it represents the Church (and more specifically, the sacraments of Baptism and the Eucharist) issuing from the side of Christ, just as Eve was taken from the side of Adam. One of the earliest mentions of a relic preserved as the Holy Lance is in the account of the pilgrim Antoninus of Piacenza, about 570, who described the holy places of Jerusalem, where he saw in the basilica of Mount Zion "the crown of thorns with which Our Lord was crowned and the lance with which He was struck in the side". According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, the presence in Jerusalem of this relic is attested half a century earlier by Cassiodorus and was known to Gregory of Tours. In 615 Jerusalem was captured for the Persian King Khosrau II; according to the Chronicon Paschale, the iron point of the lance, which had been broken off, was given in the same year to Nicetas, who took it to Constantinople and deposited it in the church of Hagia Sophia. This lance-point, embedded in an icon, was obtained in 1244 from the Latin emperor at Constantinople, Baldwin II, by Louis IX of France, who enshrined it with his relic of the Crown of Thorns in the Sainte Chapelle, Paris. During the French Revolution these relics were removed to the Bib

      Toussaint Louverture was one of the best generals back then. He was there when Haiti was Santo Domingo. He was a slave. He grew up in a plantation. His owners were fair and let him free. He then became a leader. He is also known as the black George Washington. They say that because George Washington was a great leader and general.

      François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture Toussaint Louverture Alternate name(s): Toussaint Louverture Date 2of birth: 1743 Place of birth: Haiti Date of death: 7 April 1803 (aged 59) Haitian Revolution François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture pronunciation (help·info), also 4Toussaint Bréda, Toussaint-Louverture (20 May 1743 - 8 April 1803) 3was a leader of the Haitian Revolution. Born in Saint-Domingue, in a long struggle for independence Toussaint led enslaved Africans and Afro-Haitians to victory over French colonisers, abolished slavery, and secured "native" control over the colony, Haiti. In 1797 while nominally governor of the colony, he expelled the French commissioner Léger-Félicité Sonthonax, as well as the British armies; invaded Santo Domingo to free the slaves there; and wrote a Constitution naming himself governor-for-life that established a new polity for the colony.Especially between the years 1800 and 1802, Toussaint Louverture tried to rebuild the collapsed economy of Haiti and reestablish commercial contacts with the United States and Britain. His rule permitted the colony a taste of freedom which, after his death in exile, was gradually destroyed during the successive reigns of a series of despots. Translated from French, his name means "the awakening of all saints" or "all souls rising". His last words were to his son in France, "My boy, you will one day go back to St. Domingo; forget that France murdered your father."
