@@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

[@adiedo]

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.

My grandfather used to tell me stories of his life under Trujillo, he spoke of public killings being a regular occurrence , beatings by police because people didn’t have their papers (id). One of the most prominent stories he told was how scared everyone was of Trujillo and that he would essentially kidnap any women/girl he liked so families would hide their daughters if they knew he was coming to their town. He always reminisced the day he was killed as one of the happiest days of the island only to be short lived and back under another facist. I Miss that old man like crazy , grateful for the life I have in the US thanks to him.

Why does no one mention "the moca beheading or el deguello de moca" ?

[@m.worthy]

*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..."

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

[@ypzay]

​@@ZonaCero-lo4il I read that they wanted to unite the island, but since they needed an economy they tried to get the people to return to the plantations, but although they would have been paid, they viewed it as a return to slavery and were against it.

[@ZonaCero-lo4il]

@@ypzay The reality was that, since France had imposed a very high payment on them as a consequence of the human and material losses in that colony, and since they did not have natural resources, and their thirst for racism against the white, they invaded the Dominicans, when they They had only been separated from Spain for just 6 months. They didn't cross before because the Spanish empire was there. They invaded them, murdered many Dominicans, forcing their young people into forced labor and paying France with what was produced on Dominican soil. Today we Dominicans are going to have to take up arms, because this is not a migration in search of a better life, we are facing a new Haitian invasion, helped by international organizations that are against Hispanicism. They want to put an end to the Dominican, and that is why it is time for us Dominicans to remember what we are made of, and we will win battle number 15 against the Haitians. Don't be surprised when you hear that we Dominicans are doing justice for our sovereignty. Haitians are very disrespectful and we are going to put them in their place.

Op could’ve done a better job explaining what and why Haiti was doing what they were doing It could dispel some of the anti Haitian misinformation tht centers the conversation around said occupation which was birthed out of the trujillo era

[@RonaldPineWood8191]

The Dominican independence of 1844 is totally justifiable, many Haitians helped Duarte and the Trinitarios.

[@xxKissThisXx1016]

@ yes but colonization from the Spanish objectively caused more material harm to both sides of the island rather than the liberation of the Dominicans from the Haitians

Turjillo did not establish a "totalitarian" dictatorship. Just an authoritarian dictatorship, quite common in this part of the world.

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.

You claim to be an historian but you don't know the difference between English and British.

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.

[@tonywhite383]

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.

Pedro Santana's father was a Spaniard 🇪🇸 from the Canary Islands 🇮🇨 called Pedro Santana, and his mother was an indigenous woman from Mexico 🇲🇽 called Petronila Familia, if you look for photos of Pedro Santana on the internet you will clearly see that Pedro Santana was a mestizo (Half Indian and half Spanish) like your average Latin American. Pedro Santana was born in Hincha, a territory that used to be part of the Dominican Republic until the year 1929, where Dominican President Horacio Vásquez and Haitian President Louis Borno made a treaty where the Dominican Republic ceded 4,572 square kilometers of territory to Haiti (8% of the Dominican territory at that time), which meant that Hincha (Lares de Guaba), Las Caobas, San Rafael de la Angostura, San Miguel de la Atalaya and other Dominican towns will pass into Haitian hands. The reason why they made that treaty was because Hincha and the other Dominican towns were filled with illegal Haitian immigrants, who became the majority of the population of those areas, in fact, it was for that reason that years later in October 1937, Dominican President Rafael Leonidas Trujillo carried out a massacre of Haitian criminals, where 5,000 Haitian thieves who tried to invade Dominican territory were murdered with machetes, sticks and bayonets. Not to mention the fact that Pedro Santana is older than Haiti, Pedro Santana was born on June 29, 1801 and Haiti became independent on January 1, 1804, Pedro Santana is older than Haiti 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[@RonaldPineWood8191]

The entire island was part and property of Spain 🇪🇦, why do you think the island was and still is called Hispaniola/Española? The Spaniards were on the island since 1492, while the Haitians 🐵 are nothing more and nothing less than the African slaves brought by the French 🇨🇵 in 1697 😂, The Haitians have no connection to the Spanish and even less to the Tainos, on top of that the meaning of the word "Haiti" is only the description of the height of a mountain ⛰️😂, the African slaves brought by the French initially did NOT know the word Haiti, since the vast majority of the Tainos had died, and the few that remained were mixed with Spaniards, it wasn't until Boisrond was hired as Dessalines secretary in July 1803 that they even heard the word "Haiti", because Boisrond had studied in France and read the Santo Domingo/Dominican history which had been translated to French by the 16th century. To continue ruining your dreams, I will ask you another question, why does the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 have a territory of 48,442 Square Kilometers, while Haiti 🇭🇹🚽 has a territory of only 27,750 Square Kilometers? The DR is 20,692 kilometers longer than Haiti, for that same reason, the DR always appears much larger than Haiti on maps. By the way, did you know that most of the deaths of French soldiers in the Haitian revolution were actually caused by viruses and diseases like yellow fever? Therefore, those who truly defeated the French were the 🪰🦟🐜🪳🐝🦠🪱 and not the 🐵🦍🦧💂🏿‍♂️, the funniest thing is that, even with the enormous disadvantage that the French soldiers had, the Haitians couldn't help but lose more soldiers, to give you an idea, Haiti 🇭🇹🐵 lost 200,000 soldiers and France 🇨🇵💂🏻‍♂️lost only 75,000 soldiers (50,000 French soldiers died from diseases such as yellow fever, so Haitian troops only killed 25,000 French soldiers 😂😂😂), on top of that, If the French wanted, they could have re-colonized Haiti, but because they had more important issues to resolve, the French had mercy and left Haiti a debt, which Haiti paid, since if they did not pay it, France would colonize them again without many problems.

The Haitians were defeated dozens of times by the Dominicans between the years 1844 to 1856, Santana tortured and crushed your people 😂😂😂😂.
