​Haiti remained neutral in World War II until the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Thus, in late 1941, Haiti declared war on Japan (8 December), Germany (12 December), Italy(12 December), Bulgaria (24 December), Hungary (24 December) and Romania (24 December).[46] Out of these six Axis countries, only Romania reciprocated, declaring war on Haiti on the same day (24 December 1941).[47] Haiti gave food supplies to Allied forces and hosted a detachment of the United States Coast Guardbut did not contribute troops, however five Haitians from the Haitian Air Force were integrated into the U.S. military (Tuskegee Airmen division) and fought in the war.[48][49] The President of Haiti, Élie Lescot, introduced several unpopular emergency measures during the war, which critics claimed were designed to increase his power. Lescot was deposed the year after the war ended.
