Haiti : US debt policies left Haiti vulnerable to catastrophe

This source mentions the dates of earthquakes taking place in Haiti...


There is a history of earthquakes in Haiti, but the British Geological Survey estimates that the last one of this size was 250 years ago. There are around 50 earthquakes of this size somewhere in the world each year. There were major earthquakes in Haiti in 1860, 1770, 1761, 1751, 1684, 1673 and 1618.

Here is another sourced that confirms the exact same years for when Earthquakes took place in Haiti.
The high magnitude of this quake took scientists by surprise, as this system of faults hasn't triggered a major temblor in recent decades. The fault has, however, been linked to some historical big ones in 1860, 1770, 1761, 1751, 1684, 1673 and 1618, though none of these has been confirmed in the field as associated with this fault, according to the USGS.

I didn't do full research on it but I am not suprised to find that in 1860, the first recorded year for earhtquake in Haiti was the same year that "Haiti and the Vatican sign an agreement which divides Haiti into five dioceses" I read that at http://www.haititimeline.com/a/1860.html. I didn't research those other years that earthquakes took place in Haiti because I haven't the time but there goes the link for anyone who would like to partake.

Haiti's fate as one of the poorest countries in the hemisphere has not been inevitable. It's history has been marked not only by natural disasters, but by political and economic conflict. It is a story of international intervention that has left the country particularly vulnerable.
