| Sumario: | Soon after the Napoleonic invasion of Iberian Peninsula, Cuban authorities began to expel, in 1809, all the French speaking inhabitants that were considered a hazard to the stability and peace of the island. Hundreds of them were recently arrived émigrés from the neighboring former French territories of Louisiana and Saint Domingue. Within a very short period of time they were forced to sell all their possessions and to leave Cuba. This article examines the reasons that led Cuban authorities to carry out such extreme measures and the short and long term consequences of this policy. |
