Why was Haiti involved with World War 1?

Haiti was involved in World War I primarily due to its strategic location and the influence of the United States in the Caribbean. As the U.S. sought to protect its interests and maintain stability in the region, it occupied Haiti in 1915, which lasted until 1934. The Haitian government supported the Allies by providing labor and resources, while Haitian soldiers were also recruited to fight alongside U.S. forces. Additionally, Haiti's involvement reflected broader dynamics of Imperialism and the security concerns of the U.S. during the war.
