Summary note
Digitized version of microfilm collection of declassified diplomatic correspondence between the U.S. State Department and the embassies and consulates within the country. They concern all kinds of matters, including commercial, political, and diplomatic topics of the period, including the role of U.S. citizens within the country, U.S. companies, and any U.S. agencies that had business there. The assessment of political and economic events is also included. This collection is important because it documents the antecedents to the U.S. military occupation of Haiti (1914-1934) and the major portion of the occupation itself. During this time, the United States reorganized the juridical framework of the country, engaged in many infrastructure programs (including road building with corvee labor), and established the Haitian National Guard.
