What if I told you there’s an international border so ecologically divided, you can see the exact political line from outer space? Or that tucked away in the Caribbean is a country of towering, 8,000-foot peaks that successfully defeated the mighty empire of Napoleon to form the world's first free Black republic? From the lawless pirate havens of Tortuga to a volatile crossroads of shifting tectonic plates, welcome to Haiti—a resilient country whose rugged geography and revolutionary history completely reshaped the modern world.
