Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Saint Domingue became the most profitable colony on earth on the eve of the Haitian Revolution. The economy of Saint Domingue depended a lot upon sugar and coffee, as they were the largest producer of them. Also items like indigo, cotton and cacao helped in pushing their economy to greater importance.

Saint Domingue covered a small territory but produced more when compared to the entire Spanish empire. Most of the people of France gained a lot by indulging in trade with Saint Domingue.

It produced around 60 percent of the coffee and 40 percent of the sugar of the entire production of the world.

The main reasons for it`s fabulous performance was due to certain factors such as

• Quality of land and favourable climate.
• Support from Government.
• Availability of enslaved Africans in huge numbers, which propelled the economic activities.
