The Haiti indemnity controversy culminated in an agreement by Haiti to a 1825 gold demand by France for a FR F 150 million indemnity (later reduced to FR F 60 million in 1838, comparable to US$40 billion as of 2010 with consideration to inflation) to be paid by the Republic of Haiti in claims over property lost through the Haitian Revolution in return for diplomatic recognition.
