Haiti

Haiti is a nation on the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea. The majority of its population is black.

Haiti has traditionally been a US ally in the Confederate-dominated Caribbean. During the Great War, it was overrun by Entente forces and its government was exiled to Philadelphia. From Philadelphia, the government-in-exile aligned itself with the Central Powers and was among the first governments to extend diplomatic recognition to the Republic of Quebec.

The government was restored to power in Haiti after the Great War. In 1936, a Haitian runner won a bronze medal in the Olympic Games in Richmond, much to the disappointment of Confederate president Jake Featherston, who had attempted to bar black athletes from participating in the games.
