This was the third major earthquake in the island since it was colonized, and the two first occured during the french administration.

However, if the quake was a perfectly natural and expectable event that has nothing to do with the political choices of those people, it is clear that its impact on the population is agravated by the pre-existing lack of administration and economic network.
FYI, the scond quake did not cause a lot of damages because, after the first one, the french administration outlawed stone buildings in favor of more modest torchi (a mix of mud and straw, sorry, I don’t know the english word for that), so three hundred years ago, they had working antisismic regulations, the images of Port au Prince in rumbles only shows that this wisdom was long forgotten.
