Early map of Hispaniola

Hispaniola (from Spanish, La Española) is the second-largest and most populous island of the Antilles, lying between the islands of Cuba to the west, and Puerto Rico to the east. Christopher Columbus arrived there on December 5, 1492, and on his second voyage in 1493 founded the first Spanish colony in the New World on it. It was the only island visited on all four voyages. It is also where Vasco Nunez de Balboa lived. This article is about the international language known as Spanish. ...

Haiti occupies the western third and the Dominican Republic the eastern two-thirds of the island.

An indigenous name for Hispaniola is Ayiti ("land of the high mountains"), referring to the high peaks in the Hispaniolan mountain ranges. In modern times it refers exclusively to the Republic of Haiti being adopted by Haitian revolutionary, Jean-Jacques Dessalines. Another term is Quisqueya (or Kiskeya), supposedly meaning "mother of the earth". It poetically refers to the Dominican Republic in the country's national anthem, Quisqueyanos valientes. The Spanish re-named the island Santo Domingo (after Saint Dominic), and the corresponding term Saint-Domingue was taken up by the French. The Arawak name, Ayiti or variants thereof, was reintroduced in 1804 as the name for independent Haiti. The name Haiti originally referred to the entire island, not just the western portion, and in fact the present-day Dominican Republic was known briefly as Spanish Haiti. Bohio is a supposed third indigenous name for the island. Jean-Jacques Dessalines Jean-Jacques Dessalines (September 20, 1758–October 17, 1806) was a leader of the Haitian Revolution and an Emperor of Haiti (1804–1806 under the name of Jacques I). ...

History

European colonization

Christopher Columbus arrived in Ayiti during his first voyage to America in 1492. On his return the following year, Columbus quickly founded the first permanent European settlement in America.

The island was inhabited by the Tainos, one of the Indigenous Arawak peoples. The Taino were at first tolerant of Columbus and his crew, and helped him to construct Fort Navidad on what is now Môle Saint-Nicolas, Haiti, in December 1492. European colonization of the island began in earnest the following year, when 1,300 men arrived from Spain under the watch of Bartolomeo Columbus. In 1496 the town of Nueva Isabela was founded. After being destroyed by a hurricane, it was rebuilt on the opposite site of the Ozama River and called Santo Domingo. It is the oldest permanent European settlement in the Americas. The Taino population of the island was rapidly decimated, owing to a combination of disease and harsh treatment by Spanish overlords. In 1501, the colony began to import African slaves, believing them more capable of performing physical labor.

François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture

As Spain conquered new regions on the mainland of the Americas, its interest in Hispaniola waned, and the colony's population grew slowly. By the early 17th century, the island and its smaller neighbors (notably Tortuga) became regular stopping points for Caribbean pirates. In 1606, the king of Spain ordered all inhabitants of Hispaniola to move close to Santo Domingo, to avoid interaction with pirates. Rather than secure the island, however, this resulted in French, English and Dutch pirates establishing bases on the now-abandoned north and west coasts of the island.

In 1665, French colonization of the island was officially recognized by Louis XIV. The French colony was given the name Saint-Domingue. In the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick, Spain formally ceded the western third of the island to France. Saint-Domingue quickly came to overshadow the east in both wealth and population. Nicknamed the "Pearl of the Antilles," it became the richest colony in the West Indies. Louis XIV King of France and Navarre By Hyacinthe Rigaud (1701) Louis XIV (Louis-Dieudonné) (September 5, 1638–September 1, 1715) reigned as King of France and King of Navarre from May 14, 1643 until his death. ...

In 1791, a major slave revolt erupted in Saint-Domingue, led by Toussaint Louverture. In 1801, Toussaint Louverture unified the island.^[1] It became the Dominican Republic which was ceded to France in 1795.^[2], and abolished slavery^[3] He then unified French and Spanish Haiti.^[2] In 1804, following a failed attempt by Napoleonic troops to reestablish slavery on the island, the Republic of Haiti was proclaimed, with Jean-Jacques Dessalines its first head of state. Haiti is the second oldest country in the Americas after the United States and the oldest independent nation in Latin America. By 1808, after various degrees of instability, Santo Domingo reverted to Spanish rule. Two years later in 1810 the French finally left Santo Domingo.^[4] François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture  , also Toussaint Bréda, Toussaint-Louverture (born 20 May 1743 - died April 8, 1803) was an important leader of the Haïtian Revolution and the first leader of a free Haiti. ...

Juan Pablo Duarte y Diez

Spanish lieutenant governor José Núñez de Cáceres declared the colony's independence as the state of Spanish Haiti (Haití Español) on November 30, 1821, requesting admission to the Republic of Gran Colombia, but Haitian forces, led by Jean-Pierre Boyer, unified the entire island.^[5] In 1838 Juan Pablo Duarte, founded a secret society called La Trinitaria to fight for the rights of the Spanish, eastern side of the island to be independent. ^[6] Ramón Matías Mella and Francisco del Rosario Sánchez (the latter one being a mestizo), went on to be decisive in the fight for independence and are now hailed (along with Duarte) as the Founding Fathers of the Dominican Republic.^[6] On February 27, 1844, the Trinitarios declared independence from Haiti, backed by Pedro Santana, a wealthy cattle-rancher from El Seibo. The Dominican Republic's first Constitution was adopted on November 6, 1844 which was modeled after the US constitution.^[7] Juan Pablo Duarte, founder of the Dominican Republic File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

In 1861, for numerous reasons, the Dominican Republic reverted back to a colonial state of Spain, the only Latin American nation to do so.^[8] President Pedro Santana decided to return the Dominican Republic to Spain. Haitian authorities, fearful of the reestablishment of Spain as colonial power, gave refuge and logistics to revolutionaries to re-establish the independent nation of the Dominican Republic, which they felt was the lesser of two evils.^[8]

The civil war, called the War of Restoration, was led by two men: Ulises Heureaux, who was also a three-time President of the Dominican Republic, and Gen. Gregorio Luperón.^[9] Ulises Heureaux (October 21, 1845 – July 26, 1899) was president of the Dominican Republic from 1 September 1882 to 1 September 1883, from 6 January to 27 February 1887 and again from 30 April 1889 until his assassination, maintaining power between his terms. ...

About a decade later the president of the Dominican Republic sought to sell the island to the United States and become a state.^[5] The Dominican Republic's offer sought for the United States to take it over as a state for $1.5 million but the United States Congress refused.

U.S. Treaty for Control

In 1906, the Dominican Republic and the United States entered into a 50-year treaty ^[7] under which the former gave control of its administration and customs to the United States. In exchange, the United States agreed to help reduce the immense foreign debt that the Dominican Republic had established.^[7] Starting in 1914, the United States, due to extreme political internal instability in the Dominican Republic due to its inability to elect a president, expressed concern and stated that a leader must be elected.^[10] As a result, Ramón Báez Machado was elected provisional president in the Dominican Republic.^[10] By 1916, the U.S. took complete control of the Dominican Republic, having grown tired of its role of mediator, due to the stepping down of Ramón Báez Machado and the rise of Desiderio Arias (who refused to take power). The results were immediate with the budget balanced, debt reduced, and economic growth renewed.^[10] The U.S. troops came from Haiti, which was in danger from large European powers such as Germany, who stated that they would take over Haiti due to debts owed. The U.S. had used this argument previously to send in U.S. Marines to occupy Haiti.^[10][5]

1930 to 1980

The Dominican Republic was ruled by dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo from 1930 until his assassination in 1961.^[11] Trujillo ruled with an iron hand persecuting anyone who opposed his regime. He also renamed many towns and provinces after himself and his family, including the capital city Santo Domingo. In 1937 Rafael Trujillo ordered the Army to kill all Haitians on the Dominican side of the border; an estimated 17,000 to 35,000 Haitians were killed in a single day.^{[11][12][5] [13]} As a result of this act of genocide the Dominican Republic was forced to pay Haiti $750,000.00.^[8][14][15] The Dominican government headed by Trujillo for a time was supported by the USA (because of his anti-communist stance and a mutually friendly relationship between the Dominican Republic and the USA), the Catholic Church and the Dominican elite; even after the death of Dominican dissidents and over 17,000 Haitians.^[12] This article is about Rafael L.

Both nations faced a great deal of political instability in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The United States occupied both countries and temporarily took over their customs duties. Later, both came under the rule of dictators - the Duvaliers in Haiti and Rafael Leónidas Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. In recent decades, they have taken divergent paths, however, as the Dominican Republic has achieved extraordinarily greater levels of political stability and economic growth than its neighbor Haiti.

The Island has five major mountain ranges: The Central Range, known in the Dominican Republic as the Cordillera Central, span the central part of the island, extending from the south coast of the Dominican Republic into northwestern Haiti, where they are known as the Massif du Nord. This mountain range boasts the highest peak in the Antilles, Pico Duarte at 3,087 meters (10,128 ft) above sea level. The Cordillera Septentrional runs parallel to the Central Range across the northern end of the Dominican Republic, extending into the Atlantic Ocean as the Samaná Peninsula. The highest point in the Cordillera Septentrional is Pico Diego de Ocampo. The Cordillera Central and Cordillera Septentrional are separated by the lowlands of the Cibao Valley and the Atlantic coastal plains, which extend westward into Haiti as the Plaine du Nord (Northern Plain).

Ecology

The climate of Hispaniola is generally humid and tropical. The island has four distinct ecoregions. The Hispaniolan moist forests ecoregion covers approximately 50% of the island, especially the northern and eastern portions, predominantly in the lowlands but extending up to 2100 meters elevation. The Hispaniolan dry forests ecoregion occupies approximately 20% of the island, lying in the rain shadow of the mountains in the southern and western portion of the island and in the Cibao valley in the center-north of the island. The Hispaniolan pine forests occupy the mountainous 15% of the island, above 850 meters elevation. The Enriquillo wetlands are a flooded grasslands and savannas ecoregion that surround a chain of lakes and lagoons that includes Lake Enriquillo, Rincón Lagoon, and Lake Caballero in the Dominican Republic and Saumatre Lagoon and Trou Caïman in Haiti.
