The Dominican Republic was invaded by Haitian troops on 1822, an invasion that lasted over 22 years, until national hero Juan Pablo Duarte united some local troops and decided to terminate with the Haitian's regimen. The relationship between Haitians and Dominicans are not to the best as most Dominicans believe that most Haitians still under that understanding that this part of the island should belong to them.

By 1664, France created the French West Indian Company to signal their intention of permanently colonizing St. Domingue. During that time, Spain was in decline as a world power and could barely withstand the English, Dutch and French attacks on its colonies in the Caribbean. Therefore, by the treaty of Ryswick in 1697, Spain abandoned the western part of Hispaniola to the French, who then established the colony of St Domingue legally. The two rival colonies, Santo Domingo under the Spanish and St. Domingue under the French, followed different paths that would greatly effect their future.

About a hundred years later, Spain ceded the eastern part of the island to France under the treaty of Basle (1795). Toussaint L'Ouverture, the later author of the Haitian Revolution, was at that time fighting for the French, helping to unify the island under French rule. Thus in 1795 he declared that the island was "one and indivisible". In 1801, after taking control of St. Domingue in the Haitian Revolution, Toussaint invaded Santo Domingo to transform his words into action. In 1802, while battling the forces of Napoleon for the independence of Haiti, Toussaint, as part of his strategic plan, withdrew his soldiers from Santo Domingo. After the capture of Toussaint by the French General Leclerc, Toussaint's successor Dessalines carried on the revolution and defeated the French, creating the State of Haiti.

Why Haiti and Dominican Republic split?

Haiti invaded the Dominican Republic in 1822 and for the next 22 years until 1844, the Dominican Republic experience one of the saddest era recorded in our modern time. Finally, after the Dominican Republic managed to free themselves from the Haiti invasion and be on their own, it was a substantial period of time and which haitians were not welcome to this side of the island. This behave was most probably due to the fact that haitians continue to view this part of the island as if still belongs to them. That alonside with criminal alongside the border making life miserable to dominicans, which continue until Expresident Trujillo under the information of haitians crossing the border to still cows and others goods, order the killing of every haitians on dominican soil. After this event, it was not until 1996 that haitians began to mass migrated to Dominican Republic and ever since dominicans despite a world of problems and our society and economy, we has managed to help financially, morality and with technology. All of this, without the help of anyone. But it seems that haitians are not gratefull enough, apparently because they probably feel we has to do it. And there is where the problem is. On the earthquake of 2010 that hit haiti, we provide more help than any other country, we were there from day one, but again, they merely say thank you.. Their present president, say thank you and the majority of dominican felt that, he really did not mean that. Finally, they are over one million ilegals haitians on the Dominican Republic and we exercise our legal rights to deport any of those ilegal aliens, the international comunity say that we are a bunch of racist. Where is the justice on that.
