Question

how did european countries prevent haiti’s success in the years after independence?
a. they attacked and destroyed the independent country.
b. they cut off trade with the newly independent country.
c. they supported rebels against the new government.
d. they forcibly reinstituted slavery in the new nation.

Explanation:

After Haiti's 1804 independence, European powers (including former colonizer France) isolated Haiti economically by cutting off formal trade ties. This was a key tactic to undermine Haiti's stability and economic success, as the new nation relied on trade for revenue and resources. European nations did not destroy the country, reinstitute slavery by force, or broadly support rebels as their primary strategy.

Answer:

B. They cut off trade with the newly independent country.
