The last monarch of the Haitian Revolution was Henri Christophe. He declared himself King Henri I after Haiti gained independence from France in 1804, aiming to establish a black monarchy that could provide stability and leadership following years of revolutionary struggle. Christophe's reign lasted until 1820, characterized by his efforts to build infrastructure and promote economic independence. However, his autocratic rule and the division with republican leaders led to his downfall. Henri Christophe's legacy remains significant in understanding the complexities of post-colonial governance in Haiti and the broader context of the struggle for independence in the Caribbean.
