How to Win a War Without Even Shooting: Haitian Revolution Strategy

The world of the 17th and 18th century was a whirlwind of activity. Each nation wanted to flex their military muscle and show other countries that they were the greatest. It is in the year 1791-1804, that the Haitian Revolution showed the world that Haiti was its own nation. Slaves rose up to overtake the French in a war that took human lives in battle and at campsites. Disease, particularly Yellow Fever, was prevalent in the Haitian Revolution, causing many thousands of deaths of French troops. When all was said and done, Haiti prevailed to become its own nation, gaining respect from other countries as its own empire. Haiti became a place to learn about vaccinations and natural immunity of the human body.
