How did the Dominican Republic get its independence?

Answer 1

The Dominican Independence War gave the Dominican Republic independence from Haiti. Prior to the war, the whole island of Hispaniola had been Haitian for 22 years when Haiti occupated the newly independent state of Spanish Haiti Juan Pablo Duarte was twenty years old, educated, a genuine nationalist, and the man that helped lead and inspire the Dominican Independence War of 1844. Duarte, along with Matias Ramon Mella and Fransisco del Rosario Sanchez, founded a group in 1838. Their movement was called La Trinitaria (The Trinity), because its original nine members had organized themselves into cells of three; the cells went on to recruit as separate organizations, maintaining strict secrecy, with little or no direct contact among themselves in order to minimize the possibility of detection by the Haitian authorities. Many recruits quickly came to the group, but it was discovered and forced to change its name to La Filantrópica, where it continued agitating the Haitians. In 1843 the revolution made a breakthrough, while working with a liberal Haitian party, they overthrew President Boyer. Unfortunately, the Trinitarios work in the overthrow was noticed by Boyer's replacement, Charles Riviere-Herard. Rivière-Hérard imprisoned some Trinitarios and forced Duarte to leave the island. While gone, Duarte searched for support in Colombia and Venezuela, but was unsuccessful. In December 1843, the rebels told Duarte to return since they had to act quickly because they were afraid the Haitians had learned of their insurrection plans. When Duarte had not returned by February (because of illness), the rebels decided to take action anyways with the leadership of Francisco del Rosario Sánchez, Ramón Mella, and by Pedro Santana, a wealthy cattle-rancher from El Seibo who commanded a private army of peons who worked on his estates.
