Brief Political History of the Dominican Republic 

I appreciate your comment very much.

There is no suck thing half. What ever your father is that what you are

@@maliyahisrael1077 interesting. well science, common sense, and judaism beg to differ

@@maliyahisrael1077 facts you're Dominican too bro 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

@@Tman033 you have a dominican heritage, if you see yourself as dominican and embrace the culture within reason, who else can tell you who you are and who you are not? I think it is stupid when boricuas or Dominicans from the islands deny this identity to ppl in the states; a country where i am from used to have migration to north america in the early 20th century, if any of the americans or canadians claimed our heritage, and would like to be somehow connected to our land, i would not care if they are just 1/16, never knew anything about the culture or language, i’d still happily see them as slovaks. So thinking a 1/2 isnt dominican is just ridiculous

We all say half bc we acknowledge both parents. Mom is PR, dad is DR. So for me I'm half each. I knew both sets of grandparents and identify with both. We all know our heritage goes further than the immediate. My mom's branches go to the Canaries and Curacao. My dad French/Corsica. There must be more but I go with the most recent until I get more info.

Trujillo wasnt a facist.

@@monso7871yes he was

@@xxKissThisXx1016 complete nonsense the man probably didn’t even know what that word meant. Trujillo was a authoritarian who ran the country like business to enrich himself.

@@xxKissThisXx1016 no he wasn't, the man most likely didn't even know what fascism was.

@@monso7871 no he was Provide a source to prove me wrong

that's great. Thanks for watching!

Porque querían poseer la isla completa, quizás la avaricia y maldad. Pero ya ves como les fue.

You a good neighbor we never been wrong . We have nothing against haitians . Some haitians do . Peace n love to both

*Why does no one mention Anacaona?* "...Governor Ovando arrived in Xaragua with 300 Spanish soldiers led by Diego Velasquez, a friend of Hernan Cortes. At first taking part in the normal pleasantries and festivities, the Spanish turned on the Taino mid-way through. _Forced at sword-point into a thatch structure, 84 Taino nobles were burned alive_ without provocation. According to Las Casas, the remainder were _run through with swords and hunted down on horseback_ , leaving only Anacaona to face her execution in Santo Domingo... Transported to Santo Domingo, Anacaona was hanged from a gibbet in the plaza. She was 39 years old at the time of her death and survived by one child, Higuemota, whose fate remains unknown. Within a decade of their arrival, the _Spanish_ decimated the Taino population. Anacaona was just one of many Taino caciques on Hispaniola at the time of Columbus’ arrival and certainly not the only one to die at their hands..."

Thank you for the kind words and for watching.

I think one can argue in good-faith about how totalitarian or not Trujillo was. But I would not place Trujillo as a run-of-the-mill Latin American dictatorship. His use of a single party, labor unions and control of personalistic propaganda (Dios y Trujillo) place him in a different camp, I would say.

What do you mean by that?

DR has many white citizens

@@IvanPlayStation4LiFe ... Dominicans are obviously definitely not White nor will ever become White.

@@kingmoisepicardthefirst5182 Dominicans are mixed race

@@kingmoisepicardthefirst5182 many Dominicans identify as white, although your average North American white person would not describe them as such

@@tampastorm then they should take a trip to the northern part of the island the cibao region they’re are plenty of white Dominicans who could pass for white Americans or Europeans

I'm well aware of the difference. But the term is commonly used as a synonym, especially for this period. www.thesaurus.com/browse/britain Meanwhile, English is a common synonym for British because England so dominated Great Britain and later the United Kingdom, that there's no need to specify which part of the UK we're talking about, especially in the context of this video.

This is just wrong. The terms are not and never have been synonymous, and misuse, no matter how commonly it occurs, does not make them so. For that matter, the terms Commonwealth of Nations, Perfidious Albion and the Commonwealth are not synonyms either. Moreover, that England has always been the dominant partner is immaterial; at the period in history you are discussing the political entity would have been the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, parts do not even come into it.

@@tonywhite383 why is it that people love to fight with dictionaries and the thesaurus?

@ so ignorance and incorrect grammar doesn't spread and become the norm

@@renzobonilla5467 if it's in the thesaurus and dictionary, it's by definition not incorrect.

Never

Ya dont get the point

What's point in that
