What happened to the island that Columbus landed on? On the eastern portion, there is a fairly stable and productive nation, Dominican Republic. On the western portion there is Haiti. Haiti has been a mess for as long as I can remember. We have travelled a little bit in the Caribbean and most places that fell under French rule seem to be more squared away than the other countries. Guadeloupe and the French portion of St Martin come to mind. Haiti was under French control and Dom Rep was a Spanish satellite.
