The Ptolemaic or geocentric model, which had been studied by the Egyptian astronomer Ptolemy, was overturn during the Reinaissance, when the heliocentric model was promoted and started to be generally accepted.
The geocentric model stated that all astronomical objects: the sun, the moon, the stars, and planets all orbited around the Earth. In opposition, the heliocentric model states that the Earth and other bodies are orbiting around the Sun, which is the center of the Solar System.
After questioning the pre-established and generally accepted theory, the development of a mathematical model of the heliocentric system was done in the 16th century, during the Renaissance, by the mathematican, astronomer and also priest Nicolaus Copernicus.

Explanation:
Haiti is an island country in Central America, on Hispaniola Island. Christopher Columbus discovered Hispaniola in 1492 during his first voyage towards India. After the island had been discovered and conquered, the Spaniards exploited the island for gold and converted almost all inhabitants into slaves.
In 1697, French hunters inhabited the western part of the island and built their settlements. By the time, the western part of Hispaniola became the richest colony in the 18th century as the French brought African slaves to work and produce sugar and other industrial goods.
But, the strong influence of the French Revolution resulted in the launching of the Haitian Slave Revolt against slavery and Napoleon’s government. After thirteen years of struggle, French forces were defeated on 1 January 1804 – when Haiti finally became an independent nation.

The reasons that the Americans fought along with Colombians, Ethiopians, and Puerto Ricans, were mostly geostartegic, economic, and territorial.
They fought along with the Colombians because Colombia has an excellent geostrategic position in the continent that is not very fond of the US. So by having an ally in Colombia they were able to have much better control and to be in a much better position on the affairs in South America.
Ethiopia was a zone of interest because it is crucial as a military base that will be close to the Middle East, so having an ally in them was allowing them to build their military facilities.
Puerto Rico was a territorial zone of interest, and the US wanted to keep it under its own governing because an independent country of Puerto Rico might have gone in any direction really, and even become an ally with some of the American arch enemies, and thus becoming the ''second Cuba''.
