Hmm tried (Saint-) Domingo and Dominga, close but not close enough I guess. (still not sure if I was lucky with guessing or if it was somewhere in the back of my mind.. one of the first and only things that really came to me, after that I went like hmm what is a saintly name..)
How did I forget Toussaint Louverture? This quiz raises several questions I'm keen to explore. Very curious to see how 100% of a Caribbean island's inhabits have African heritage, and I don't really know anything about the US occupation of Haiti. I vaguely remember hearing that the US occupied Haiti at some point, but I had no idea it was so recent.
The States have "helped" many of the Central and Latin American countries that as of yet remain to be "developed". Unfortunately that just means they intervened, destabilized local governments so that they could remain the biggest power in the Americas....sigh....never been particularly proud to be American.
As for your other curiousity, it was in the Caribbean where a LOT of the slave trade centered itself. Due to the tropical climate there was much to be made from growing sugar or tobacco and others. Hence why the biggest concentration of the African Diaspora is in the Caribbean, not counting the United States.
