Haitian Revolution

AD – MPE: 0.1

The Wikipedia-article called “Haitian Revolution” cites two estimates for the number of people killed during the Haitian revolution from 1791 to 1804, which range from 0.2 to 0.35 million Haitians and 0.05 to 0.1 million French and British troops. Large numbers of Haitians were killed in the first uprisings of 1791 and 1792 when France was an advanced democracy. It is not clear how many Haitian civilians were killed by the British. Many of the rebels were inspired by the ideals of the French Revolution. But Haiti didn’t become an advanced democracy after independence.

Plausible estimates for the number of civilians killed by democratic frontrunners range from 0.02 to 0.25 million. I choose 0.1 million as the most plausible estimate. Plausible estimates for the number of civilians killed by nondemocratic forces range from 0.02 to 0.25 million. I choose 0.1 million as the most plausible estimate.
