1915, July 28 – 1934, August 15: (The Interruption of Sovereignty): The era of United States administrative control began on July 28, 1915, and lasted for nineteen years until the withdrawal on August 15, 1934. During this occupation, American forces imposed structural changes on the military and constructed 1,200 miles of all-weather highways. The period is visually marked by the resistance and eventual death of Charlemagne Péralte, whose corpse became a symbol of the struggle against foreign rule. This era represented a significant cultural and political clash, as foreign administrators often failed to understand the central role of Voodoo in Haitian life. The “Second Independence” that followed in August 1934 initiated a long-term effort to reclaim national identity from foreign influence.
