Haiti was devastated by an earthquake this week, resulting in the loss of countless lives and suffering among many.  A quick read reveals how much this country has suffered before this natural disaster.

The area we call Haiti today has been through some very difficult times, going all the way back to a brutal colonization by the Spanish.  Most recently, the United States nearly invaded the country to evict dictators.  You can learn more from the wikipedia entry on the country.
