Antoine Simon) (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃swa se ɑ̃twan simɔ̃]; October 10, 1843 – March 10, 1923) was President of Haiti from 6 December 1908 to 2 August 1911.

[3][4] Although he had little formal education himself, he assembled an advisory group consisting of influential men.

To satisfy American banana plantations, Haitian companies were taxed, resulting in unrest by small landowners who ultimately paid the price.

Leconte's initial campaign failed, but a subsequent attempt in August 1911 succeeded in the capture of Port-au-Prince.

[7] Simon went into exile[8] for several years, but returned to Haiti where he died in Les Cayes.

He also had 2 great-great-grandsons named Marcel Simon and Sean Valere [citation needed]
