>>16890763>Before the war, the island of Hispaniola had been united for 22 years when the newly independent nation, previously known as the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo, was unified with the Republic of Haiti in 1822. The criollo class within the country overthrew the Spanish crown in 1821 before unifying with Haiti a year later.Can anyone recommend books about this? Seems interesting. How did the USA react to this? France?
>>16890763>Fifty-six men (Cubans, Guatemalans, Dominican exiles, and American communists)[17] landed a C-56 transport aircraft in Constanza. As soon as the invaders landed, they were massacred by the fifteen-man Dominican garrison.lol
