*Haitian Creole and culture first entered Cuba with the arrival of Haitian immigrants at the start of the 19th century. Haiti was a French colony, and the final years of the 1791–1804 Haitian Revolution brought a wave of French settlers and their Haitian slaves to Cuba. They came mainly to the east, and especially Guantanamo, where the French later introduced sugar cultivation, constructed sugar refineries and developed coffee plantations. By 1804, some 30,000 French were living in Baracoa and Maisí, the furthest eastern municipalities of the province. Later, Haitians continued to come to Cuba to work as braceros (hand workers, from the Spanish word brazo, meaning "arm") in the fields cutting cane. <ref name="dia/"> | *Haitian Creole and culture first entered Cuba with the arrival of Haitian immigrants at the start of the 19th century.

Haitian immigration to Brazil become a migratory phenomenon that gained large after the earthquake that rocked Haiti in 2010. The presence of Haitians in Brazil was negligible before the political instability that affected the country in 2004. Since then, the presence of military peacekeepers UN (mostly Brazilian), Haitians have come to see in Brazil a reference point, a fact that was reinforced after the disaster, which triggered the great migratory wave that started in 2010. Haitians had always been migrating to Brazil, but following the 2010 earthquake, Brazil granted humanitarian visas and permanent residencies to approximately 98,000 Haitians. However, not long after settling, around 30,000 of those Haitians left Brazil partly due to Brazil's economic recession during that time.<ref>"Haitian Brazilians", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_Brazilian, accessed 13 June 2021.</ref> | |||
