The year 2015 marked the centennial of the 1915 United States
occupation of Haiti and Haiti's resistance to that signal event in
its history. This study surveys the issues of economics, race, and
realpolitik embedded in the political economy of U.S. interactions
with Haiti that resulted in occupation. It then interrogates what
constitutes the "state" as it pertains to foreign policy, along
with an inspection of who benefits from empire. This approach
eschews tired dichotomies of whether or not the United States as a
whole materially benefited from empire to instead simply look at
who individually gained and what were the capacities of these
beneficiaries to craft policy. Next it delivers insights derived
from a forensic analysis of Woodrow Wilson's perception of race and
his decision to intervene in Haiti. Attitudes enabling United
States military leaders to implement a policy of occupation are
provided through a study of Admiral William Caperton's role in the
intervention. The focus then telescopes out to inspect the role
played by the press, especially as booster for commercial
opportunities. In short, the project answers the questions of why,
who, and how American empire was undertaken through the case study
of Haiti and its occupation in 1915.
