Arrival of Christopher Columbus, art by Dominican painter Luis Desangles.
The recorded history of the Dominican Republic began in 1492 when the Genoa-born navigator Christopher Columbus, working for the Crown of Castile,
happened upon a large island in the region of the western Atlantic Ocean that later came to be known as the Caribbean.
It was inhabited by the Taíno, an Arawakan people, who called the eastern part of the island Quisqueya （Kiskeya）, meaning "mother of all lands." Columbus promptly claimed the island for the Spanish Crown, naming it La Isla Española （"the Spanish Island"）, later Latinized to Hispaniola.
The Taínos were nearly wiped out due to European infectious diseases.
Other causes were abuse, suicide, the breakup of family, famine, the encomienda system, which resembled a feudal system in Medieval Europe, war with the Castilians, changes in lifestyle, and mixing with other peoples.
Laws passed for the Indians' protection （beginning with the Laws of Burgos, 1512-13） were never truly enforced.
What would become the Dominican Republic was the Spanish Captaincy General of Santo Domingo until 1821, except for a time as a French colony from 1795 to 1809.
It was then part of a unified Hispaniola with Haiti from 1822 until 1844.
In 1844, Dominican independence was proclaimed and the republic, which was often known as Santo Domingo until the early 20th century, maintained
its independence except for a short Spanish occupation from 1861 to 1865 and occupation by the United States from 1916 to 1924.
During the 19th century, Dominicans were often at war, fighting the French, Haitians, Spanish, or amongst themselves, resulting in a society heavily influenced by caudillos, who ruled the country as if it were their personal kingdom.
Between 1844 and 1914, the Dominican Republic had 53 presidents （of whom only 3 had complete...

This is a very accurate article. but they failed to mention how the Dominican republic had to give up about 11% of the land to Haitians due to them settling on Dominican land then they started using Haitian currency and the US forced the DR to give up the 11% to Haiti, then Trujillo told the Haitian government to stay on their side and not to settle in the DR lands yet they were still doing it, they pretty much wiped their butts with the treaty that was made with Haiti. They did not like today kept to their word, now the problem is that Haitians are passively invading DR. so In other words the Haitian's are trying to passively invade DR once more and the UN is also helping them. so there are a lot of missing details in this historic documentary.

Some of this is true but there’s several errors and inconsistencies. What’s sad is most Haitians believe this. Misinformation leads to miscommunication. Without touching on the politics and differences between us. I’m going to point out a simple error that proves this is an inaccurate narrative with subtle lies hidden beneath some facts. Ayti is not the Tiano name for the island. Ayti means “Mountainous land” It was the name given to the Mountainous region, where the natives, helped African slaves escape to. Until the French arrived. The name Quiskeya is the appropriate name for the island. Quiskeya means “Mother of Islands” When you find an error. You must stop and fact check what is being projected as fact. Edification can bring unification. Through knowledge we gain understanding and the wisdom to heal old wounds.
