      "title": "The U.S. Occupation of Haiti, 1915-1934",
      "summary": "In 1915, the United States undertook a military occupation of Haiti to preempt any European\nintervention, to establish order out of civil strife, and to stabilize Haitian finances. During the\nnineteen-year occupation, U.S. military and civilian officials, numbering less than 2,500 for the most\npart, supervised the collection of taxes and the disbursement of revenues, maintained public order,\nand initiated a program of public works. The Haitian government remained in place, but was subject\nto U.S. guidance. The Haitian people benefitted from the end of endemic political violence and from\nthe construction of roads, bridges, and ports as well as from improved access to health care. The\nU.S. occupation was, nonetheless, deeply resented throughout Haitian society, and many of its\naccomplishments did not long endure its termination in 1934.",
