Résumé
The position of Venezuela made this country a refuge for the French and the Spanish during the events of Saint-Domingue (1791-1804). Indeed, the governor of the province regularly informed the Spanish government of the political evolution in former Hispaniola. The documentation in the Archives Générales des Indes in Seville shows that he paid close attention to the analyses of his generals, Chanlatte and Kerverseau, and to the plans of reconquest by judge Pons, members of the French commission in the Spanish part of the Island after the Treaty of Basel. This documentation contributed to the demonization in Spain of Toussaint-Louverture, then of Dessalines.
