On February 27, 1844, the Dominican Republic ushered in the historic moment of independence. Located in the Caribbean Sea and sharing the Spanish island with Haiti to the west, this island nation has a rich history and diverse culture. The Dominican Republic covers an area of 48,670 square kilometers, with the capital and largest city of Santo Domingo, the official language being Spanish, and the currency being the Dominican peso. According to the U.S. Intelligence Agency, the country's GDP per capita in 2013 was about $9,700, and the current one is Luis Abinadir.
Dominican Republic Geography: The history of the Dominican Republic originated from the settlement of the Taíno people, such as the Arawak people, however, since Columbus set foot on the Spanish island in 1492, the land has endured more than 300 years of Spanish rule until 1821. During this period, Dominica was briefly ruled by the French between 1795 and 1801, and the main ethnic group in the country was a mixture of Spanish colonizers and indigenous peoples.

However, just nine weeks later, in February 1822, it was annexed by Haiti, which had escaped French rule to the west of the island. Due to the huge cultural differences between the two countries, it was difficult to achieve unity, so on February 27, 1844, Dominica once again broke away from Haitian rule and solemnly declared its independence, becoming the national day of modern Dominica. In 1865, Dominica successfully repelled the Spanish invasion and consolidated its independence.

Dominican cigar factory Juan Pablo Duarte, a young man born in the capital city of Santo Domingo, secretly founded La Trinitaria (Trinity) in 1838 at the age of 25 for the independence of his hometown. In the early years of this organization, Mattías Raymond Mea and Francisco Rosario Sánchez did not join, but played an important role in the later process of independence. These three pioneers are revered as the founding fathers of the Dominican Republic. On February 27, 1844, the people of the Dominican Republic launched a war of independence and declared the independence of the country. The Constitution of the Draft Period, modeled on the U.S. Charter, was completed on November 6, 1844.
Santo Domingo's artisanal manufacturing industry, however, did not usher in smooth years in the post-independence Dominican Republic. From 1844 to 1856, the country was constantly invaded by its neighbor Haiti, and experienced a period of internal and external troubles. At the same time, the rulers Pedra Santana and Baiaz were stubborn and self-defeating when they came to power.
Dominican Street Santana was convinced that Dominica must be attached to the umbrella of the Spanish Empire in order to avoid Haitian aggression. Bayaz, on the other hand, hoped that the Dominican Republic would be annexed to the United States after France's plan to defend Dominica failed, but his efforts were ultimately unsuccessful.
