Zusammenfassung:On September 18, 1994, Haitian General Raul Cédras signed an agreement with the United States stating that he would step down from power in order to avoid an imminent U.S. invasion. The agreement restored to power President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who had been ousted by a military coup three years earlier following democratic elections.

A force of 20,000 U.S. troops arrived in Haiti on September 19 to help oversee Haiti’s transition to democracy, allowing reconstruction efforts to begin. Haiti
