Toussaint Louverture led a revolution against the French to gain the independence of which country?

Bolivia
Cuba
Haiti
Mexico

The correct answer is: Haiti

Toussaint Louverture was a prominent leader in the Haitian Revolution, which sought to abolish slavery and achieve independence from French colonial rule in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His efforts were pivotal in the successful uprising of enslaved Africans in Saint-Domingue, which later became Haiti, the first independent black republic in the world. Louverture's leadership and strategies were crucial in mobilizing the enslaved population and fighting against both the French and other colonial forces, ultimately leading to Haiti's declaration of independence in 1804. This historic movement not only transformed Haiti but also had significant implications for slavery and colonialism in the Americas.
