Ever since the earthquake that happened in Haiti that 2 years ago I'm sure the state of the country and its people have been on all of our minds here. As well I'm sure that many of you know that there are still many Haitians who still remain homeless since then and that the majority of the problems faced by the Haitian people today is due to the lack of capital held by there country.
So with this in mind I'd like to challenge anyone here to think of any POD that takes place between the Haitian revolution and 1900, or even today, which could have made Haiti a more powerful nation, or even a world power, which could have helped them to recover from a situation such as this better than they have in OTL.
PS: I hope that by posting this I do not come off as unsympathetic and I am sorry to any I have hurt.
