GUTIERREZ ARDILA, Daniel. Colombia and Haití: History of a Misunderstanding (1819-1831). Secuencia [online]. 2011, n.81, pp.67-93. ISSN 2395-8464.

Relations between the Republic of Colombia (1819-1831) and the revolutionary governments of Haiti were not precisely diplomatic. Therefore, rather than reconstructing the details of those diffuse links, this article seeks to explain a distance that might seem incomprehensible at first sight. To this end, it compares the nature of the two revolutions, as well as the strategies employed by the two regimes in the search for recognition by the United States and the European powers.

Keywords : Independence revolution; Colombia; Haiti; diplomacy; recognition.
