@bettinablancoRD@T2_Crypto@FoundationDads Still, my point stands: the Spanish and French laid drastically different foundations that explain each country’s present situation. It’s funny you mention 1946 as it was just 1 year before Haiti finished paying their debts for revolting against their captors. Not so long ago…
@bettinablancoRD@T2_Crypto@FoundationDads Nevada and California are affected by the same fault lines, but California is closer to the epicenters and thus incurs more damages. But you’re right, building codes and infrastructure are different. (1 of 2)
@bettinablancoRD@T2_Crypto@FoundationDads The most populated portions of Haiti sit on an incredibly active fault line. Put an incredibly weak ground infrastructure as a result of deforestation and you get some of the most deveststing effects of an earthquake seen almost anywhere (2).
@bettinablancoRD@T2_Crypto@FoundationDads Of course you can. The environmental differences between the two halves of the island can be directly related to the Haitian’s French rulers. Even the geographical differences are accentuated by the dofrestation on the Haitian side of the island. (1 of 2)
@bettinablancoRD@T2_Crypto@FoundationDads I’d argue that the differences between the two countries today has more to do with what countries colonized what side of the island (French for Haiti and Spain for the Dominican Republic) than most other factors.
