Nerseth, Muriel Borghild2023-07-052023-07-051932-06https://hdl.handle.net/1794/2847858 pagesAn adequate study of the diplomatic relations of the United States and Haite cannot be made by the use of United States printed documents alone. A clear comprehensive picture can only be obtained by using the documents of both governments. The purpose of this paper is to force the problems arising between the two republics which finally resulted in the domination of the weak by the strong. As far as the author is able to determine no special study of the American-Haitian relations prior to 1914 has been made. The questions of controversy discussed and help us to better understand the nation over which the United States has felt obliged to exercise a protective policy. In H. P. Davis’ “Black Democracy”, Millspaugh’s “Haiti Under American Control”, and Blach’s “Occupied Haiti”, there is no treatment of the material utilized in this part of the paper. The subjects of the second part of the paper have been given attention in the above mentioned works. As the printed sources available to the author for this portion were limited if constitutes merely a narrative of the events of the intervention in 1915 with the authors own conclusions.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USH.
