get to know what plans are ahead for haiti.

It is true that Haiti had to pay France for a Freedom they won legitimately fair and square.

However all the Treaty of Ryswick was, was that Spain ceded to France the Western side of the Island.

All that has nothing to do with later free Haiti shortly after since such treaty took place while the western side had still belonged to France.

That treaty is quite irrelevant as to why Haiti still had to pay France which today this debate is in dispute between Haiti and France in Court; attempt on Haiti's part to get France to give back that sum. Anyway, rumor has it that Haiti will become a U.S Territory in July 1st, 2009. That is on the floor in both Haitian and U.S. Senates even thought there are great reform plans in the UN to revamp Haiti's economy and to rebuild his undeveloped infrastructures.

Search and read up on it people.

Something many were trying to prevent, just may finally happen.

What does it generally means for DR, Haiti or the Island in whole now?

MOST OF ALL THESE LINKS, THIS ONE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ:

If you want to conduct proper search, I advise you all use Alta Vista, Web crawler and other good ones if you all have them. Because as for google although many use it today, but it really lacks detailed information and it can be altered by others if they are members.

Thus, I had to agree with many in here today that Wickipedia is not the best source or tool for research.

Usually Wicki would be the very first search result from google.

The UN sites are found to be one of the best and the FBI World fact book is somewhat good, too. However, if someone uses Wicki, it is still proof in effort that at least that someone does some kind of level of reading as oppose to none.
