Dominican Republic

The United States established diplomatic relations with the Dominican Republic in 1884 following its independence from Spain. Post-independence, the country saw a mix of coups, U.S. military intervention and occupations, military government, and democratic government. The Dominican Republic's first peaceful transfer of power from one freely elected president to another was in 1978.

U.S. relations with the Dominican Republic are excellent. The country is an important partner in hemispheric affairs due to its standing in the Caribbean as the largest economy and second-largest country in terms of population and land mass, its large bilateral trade with the United States, and its proximity to the United States and other smaller Caribbean nations. The Dominican Government has been supportive of many U.S. initiatives in the United Nations and related agencies. The two governments cooperate in the fight against trafficking in illegal substances. The Dominican Republic has worked closely with U.S. law enforcement officials on issues such as the extradition of fugitives and measures to hinder illegal migration.

The United States has a strong interest in a democratic, stable, and economically healthy Dominican Republic and supports its democratic and economic development. Obstacles to sustainable development include the poor quality of the country's education system, the inability of the health system to adequately respond to the population's needs, weak economic competitiveness, and severe inefficiencies in the energy sector. Violence has increased in the Dominican Republic in recent years. While there have been coordinated efforts to address corruption, improving transparency is a priority in order to consolidate the country's democratic gains. The U.S. Government collaborates with Dominican authorities to address these issues while working with local and international partners to strengthen institutional and technical capacity.

The address for UNIBE is Av Francia at Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. UNIBE is one of the leading research and education institutions in the Dominican Republic and was founded in 1982.

The Dominican Republic gained independence from Haiti on this date.

In some cases Dominicans are darker than the average hispanic/Latino. Hispanics/latinos are of European, African, and Indian decent (sometimes Asian decent as well). Most people believe many Dominicans are darker because there general area on the planet. Some believe Dominicans just have more African decent than others. Also Haiti is occipied by mostly blacks, Dominican Republic is right next to them, making it very possible for Dominicans to have a lot of Black/African ancestry.

They are 4400 miles (approx. value) away from each other. Note that this is a straight distance between the two places. The actual distance may vary according to the flight path or road/sea route chosen.

I assumed that you mean animals in silvester fauna. Well there is not any dangerous animals in the dominican republic. Some of the only animals you can find are: Birds, Chickens, Snakes, Frogs, Mosquitoes, ants and spiders. But no one of they are poisoning. They do not exist poisoning for animals bites in the island, so people can even be in the forest very secure. So diferent to the rests of other countries.

Yes Mexico has monkeys, spider monkey, and the howling monkey, all in the southern part of Mexico.

It's spelled semana and it means week.

Santiago, Dominican Republic, is the second largest city in the country and is known for its tropical climate, carnival celebrations, and nightlife. Located on the southern coast of the Dominican Republic, it is home to about a million people, but remains a friendly destination.

Each February, Carnival sweeps the city with exuberant parades and other events. Carnival has been celebrated since the fourteenth century, with folks donning masks, singing, and dancing to observe pre-Lenten customs. But since winning its independence in 1844, Independence Day celebrations have been merged with carnival events.

The rest of the year, visitors flock to Santiago for its nightlife. With nightclubs, restaurants, and bars, the city comes alive and stays that way from early each evening until dawn. Revelers can literally dance the night away in this lively city.

Visitors to Santiago will find themselves coming to life, too. Pleasure thrives whether for a night or a month, and visitors will never forget this exciting city.

Alot of corner shops that hold family basics like bread and toliet paper, with few supermarkets that hold special items.

Taínos inhabited what is now the Dominican Republic since the 7th century. Christopher Columbus landed on the island in 1492, and it became the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Americas, namely Santo Domingo, the country's capital and Spain's first capital in the New World.

No. It is guarded, mostly on the Dominican Republic side.

Haiti is not in the Dominican Republic. They are two countries on the island known as Hispaniola. Haiti is the smaller of the two countries. The Dominican Republic is 18,704 square miles. Haiti is 10,714 square miles.

I come from Dominica and the national bird is the Sisserou Parrot. It is even on the Dominican flag in the middle of the 10 stars.
