La Guerra de la Independencia Dominicana le dio a la República Dominicana su independencia de Haití en 1844. Antes de la guerra, toda la islaLa Española había estado bajo el dominio haitiano durante 22 años cuandoHaití ocupó el nuevo Estado independiente llamado Haití Español en 1822. Después de los esfuerzos hechos por patriotas dominicanos para independizar el país del dominio haitiano sobrevinieron una serie de batallas que sirvieron para consolidar la misma (1844-1856). Los haitianos hacían ataques incesantes para volver a dominar la recién creada República, pero con resultados fallidos.
background
In 1801 , Toussaint Louverture arrives at Santo Domingo and proclaimed the abolition of slavery in the name of the French Republic. Shortly after Napoleon sent an army subjected the whole island and ruled for a few months. Blacks and mulattos again rose against the French in October 1802 and finally defeated in November 1803. The January 1, 1804 , the winners declared Saint- Domingue as the independent Republic of Haiti. After the defeat at the hands of Haitians, a small French garrison remained in Santo Domingo. Slavery was restored and many of the Spanish settlers returned emigrants . In 1805 , after being crowned emperor, Jean -Jacques Dessalines invaded the eastern part , reaching Santo Domingo, but had to withdraw before a French naval squadron. In their retreat through the Cibao , the Haitians looted the cities of Santiago and Moca, killing most of its residents and initiating two centuries of animosity between the two countries.
The French ruled in the eastern part of the island until they were defeated by the Spanish settlers in the Battle of Palo Hincado on November 7, 1808 and were forced to narrow the final surrender of Santo Domingo on July 9, 1809 , under pressure from the British Royal Navy .
The Spanish authorities showed little interest in their restored colony, and the next period is remembered as Boba Spain . This disinterest in the colony of Santo Domingo was due to the Spanish War of Independence and the independence process in many of the Spanish colonies in America. Another excuse for the lack of interest in the colony was the exhaustion of all the riches of it, this also had little incentive to the production of wealth and property.
Large ranchers became leaders in the southeast where the "law of machete " ruled for a while. Former captain general and writer José Núñez de Cáceres declared independence from Spanish colonial Haiti calling the December 1, 1821 , requesting admission to the Republic of Gran Colombia .
