The island was named La Española and guaranteed by Spain, which ruled until the mid seventeenth century. Contending cases and settlements by the French prompted the western bit of the island being surrendered to France, which named it Saint-Domingue. Amidst the French Revolution (1789– 99), slaves and free minorities revolted in the Haitian Revolution (1791– 1804), coming full circle in the abrogation of servitude and the thrashing of Napoleon Bonaparte's military at the Battle of Vertières. A while later the sovereign province of Haiti was built up on 1 January 1804—the primary free country of Latin America and the Caribbean, the second republic in the Americas, and the main country on the planet set up because of a fruitful slave revolt.
