Who discovered Dominican Republic?

Answer 1

Christopher Columbus discovered the Island it occupies in 1492. Part of his crew stayed on the island and founded the city of Santo Domingo, its capital ,in 1493. The Dominican Republic originally gained its independence from Spain in 1821, but was occupied by Haiti until its second independence in 1844. In 1861, it became a protectorate of Spain until 1865, and once again, in 1916, it was occupied by U.S. forces until 1924.

P.S. The name of the city is Santo Domingo, no matter what language you use. Any other spelling (i.e. San Domingo, Santa Domingo, etc.) is wrong.
