Haiti Becomes the First Country to Recognize Greece

 

As Black History Month ends today, tomorrow will be March in the year 2021; a 200 year anniversary of the Greek War of Independence. When the Greeks fought for their independence it would be Haiti which would be the first country to recognize the Greek Independence from the Ottomans. Both nations shared sympathies and similar plights during their struggle of independence and the Haitian recognition is something that should be taught more in schools today.
