History

Overview

Throughout history, Haiti has been a country of conflict, through occupation and revolution. It was colonized by the Spanish in the 15th and 16th Century. Then by the French in the 17th Century. It was occupied by the United States through most of the 20th Century as well until a government was installed in the 1950s. Since then it had been the place of much political strife and natural disasters.

Haiti is also well known as the birthplace of the Voodoo religion, deriving from the various religions taken from the indigenous population, the imported African slaves from past centuries, and the Catholicism of their former masters.

20th Century

In 1944, President Roosevelt travelled to Haiti to meet with British officials about the state of the war. Nazi operative the Zombie Master raised an army of undead Zombies to attack the president's ship, but they were stopped by the Sub-Mariner who slew the Zombie Master and his undead horde^[1].
