With complete independence achieved from France in 1804, Haiti became an independent monarchy—the First Empire of Haiti (1804–1806). Haiti reverted to a monarchy in the 1810s, during the Kingdom of Haiti (1811–1820). Haiti reverted for a third and final time to a monarchy during the Second Empire of Haiti (1849–1859).
The period known as the Duvalier dynasty (1957–1986), was not a period of monarchy but of an authoritarian family dictatorship (hereditary dictatorship).
