Sure, but being that the US occupied Haiti from 1915 to 1934 as "the United States had been interested in controlling Haiti in the decades following its independence from France" means they took over after France granted Haiti independence. Yet, the U.S. also retained influence on Haiti's external finances until 1947. Both of these aspects have impacted modem day Haiti much more than France's occupation, without question.
