Why did Haiti and the Dominican Republic Break Up? (Short Animated Documentary)

[@waltski4375]

"Except for the Polish, that is, they were cool." Napoleon sent Polish forces to aid the French troops suppressing the rebellion. A number of the Poles sympathized with the rebels and either switched sides or refused to follow orders or did not execute prisoners. These actions were recognized and the Poles were spared.

[@tijojose7966]

Thanks for explaining! I was just about to ask why were the Polish spared?

The Polish that were allowed to remain were initially sent there by Napoleon to quell the revolt. After arriving, some 150 Polish soldiers (out of the 6000 poles sent) defected to the rebels. After winning the revolt, the Poles were granted classification as Noir (black), which constituted the new ruling class, and the Haitian constitution granted them full Haitian citizenship.

The Polish, having their own experience with Foreign Occupation, were eager to help the French during the Napoleonic Wars. They were Initially told there was a Prisoner Revolt, but when they arrived on the Island and saw It was in fact a Slave Revolt, Most turned on the French and joined the Rebels. The few remaining Poles refused to execute captured slaves, instead releasing them into the Bush to escape. After the War, Many Poles were allowed to stay in Haiti as thanks for helping to secure Freedom for the Haitians.

Saying the Spanish "invaded" the island after Dominican independence is maybe half-true. Spain was actually invited to come back by some of the Dominican elite, landowner class, including the president. So they came back with the support of a portion of the population under an understanding that Santo Domingo would not be treated like a colony, but as a part of Spain. Spain wasn't even sure they wanted to take Santo Domingo back, though they eventually did. Well, that turned out not to work that way the two parties expected. Most small-farmer Dominicans were never happy with the situation, and eventually the ones who invited the Spaniards back also grew dissatisfied with the situation when they realized they got a rawer deal than they expected. There were pockets of resistance since the beginning of Spain's return, but the actual war kicked off in 1863 and lasted about a year and a half until Spain's losses grew too high, taking casualties in combat but also losing a much larger portion of their forces on the island to disease. At that point, the U.S. Civil War was ending, so it was an extra incentive for Spain to leave that the U.S. would again be capable of enforcing its Monroe Doctrine.

[@DrVictorVasconcelos]

Would you like it if your country was occupied because the landowners and the president asked? Mind you, this is not the US; in colonies of exploration, land was commonly given to the nobles. So these people were mostly Spanish, by birth or parents. "Land owner" is not someone who owns a little house in a city, it's people who own plantation land, and these people are the richest people, the elite. Just so you have an idea of how these lands were divided, in 1500, Brazil would have been the 8th largest country in the world (it expanded west and is currently the 5th) and Portugal divided it among just 16 people! So, no half-truths, without a popular vote or at least a popular congress vote, it's an invasion.

[@DrVictorVasconcelos]

Granted, 1500 was much earlier, but this system was in place in some form in Brazil until 1821. And frankly, if you take a car and drive between major Brazilian cities and pay attention to the agricultural lands, things haven't changed that much, either. New tech, new crops, a few new people, but overwhelmingly the same family names. So I'm not very impressed with the idea of "landowners" being a large group of people.

Why did you side with blacks over your own people?

[@fyu1945]

1:30 fun fact, if you're wondering what hell did polish do in haiti since they never had any significant colonies it's actually quite interesting story. Since the third partitioning of Poland, the polish state was no more and from this point onward polish people will try everything to bring back Poland as an independent state. Then some time later Napoleon happened and he conveniently has prussia and austria as enemies and is also spreading nationalistic ideals around europe so poles were on board. Napoleon let polish create their legions under his rule in Italy and from that point onward they would fight under emperor's commands. After establishing a duchy of Warsaw, Napoleon had nothing to do with polish soldiers (grossly oversimplifying) so he sent them along with french soldiers to suppress haitian revolution. However many polish soldiers felt bad fighting independence movement while they were participating in their own. Long story short, many of them sided with haitians and helped in the revolution. After that a bond was formed between those soldiers and haitians to the point that Haiti's first head of state Jean-Jacques Dessalines called Polish people "the White Negroes of Europe". That's why polish were cool. To this day descendants of polish people live in haiti.

The island has to stay devided because we are two completely different nations. Two completely different people. We have ablsolutely nothing in common. What Haitians need to do is grow their economy and educational infrastructure. They need to change their government. They need to create opportunities in their own country so as not to depend on the dominican republic for their well being. As a dominican i have nothing against the haitian people; i just wish some of them would get the absurd idea of unification out of their heads. That is never going to happen. Nobody in the dominican republic wants that, but at the same time we want to see the haitian people do well for themselves in their own land and amongst themselves. They need to treat each other better in order to prosper as a nation. They are not our countries responsibility.

[@espvp]

Great job summarizing the topic in about 3 minutes, and thought it's totally understandable that you had to simplify everything, here's 3 key points I wanted to shed some more light on for those who are not familiar with our history. 1) Initially, the french portion wasn't given to them by the Spanish simply because of some wars fought in europe, you have to consider that great part of the claim from France was because french pirates lived and traded goods in the left portion of the island. Illegally settled there while the island was under Spanish rule, it was the consequences of the "Devastations of Osorio" (pretty interesting topic imo, look it up) 2) when Spain took back control of the spanish-speaking part (already the Dominican Republic by then) in 1861, it wasn't an invasion. The country was basically "sold" to Spain by the then president (a dictator by today's standards) Pedro Santana, against the will of the people. 3) this one is controversial and reflects the rivalry between Hatians and Dominicans: the reasons and intentions of the 1822-1844 Hatian occupation of the Spanish-speaking side. Look, I'm not gonna say whether who's right or wrong, just gonna state the two sides: one side says that the reason Boyer took control of the spanish-speaking side was to continue the liberation of african slaves on that part of the island; the other side says that this is false since, although technically never abolished before, slavery was already non-existent by then and that the occupation was really an invasion over the richer east part of the island and that once they took control of it, they raised taxes in order to pay their debt of independence to France. There is more to both sides but I think that is the core of the arguments. You are free to choose to believe either one, look up the sources yourself, you'll find plenty backing up both sides. I want to clarify that with these I'm not attempting to justify anything, just sharing some information for history nerds like me out there. If you have different angles of these topics I mentioned, please share it with the rest of us, though please do so in a respectful manner. I'm not here to argue with anyone, but to learn.

No fue contra la voluntad de la gente, no te dejes lavar el cerebro por el sistema educativo dominicano, hubo una guerra civil y muchos dominicanos apoyaban el bando español, simplemente los españoles desistieron porque tenian guerras en otros lados y calcularon que no valia la pena seguir invirtiendo tiempo y recursos en Santo Domingo.

[@kevinfromsales9445]

I agree with the first commenter, i used to believe that Santana simply sold out the DR as well, but he, along with Duarte, Sanchez y Mella, was one of men who freed the Spaniards of the island from the Haitians. He was at the time just as much as a hero and as respected as Duarte. The problem was that amongst the Dominicans one side (Duarte) believed that we could be a free and independent nation while the other side (Santana) didn't believe that we could survive as an independent nation because we were basically half an island, with a small population, lots of poverty, had a huge threat Haiti next to us and another huge threat which was the United States. I'm glad Santana and his followers were proven wrong but it was a huge risk back in those days.

But hey, there's not much we can do right now. Another thing, I think that the name of the country would have been simply Santo Domingo, since the name before was Capitania General de Santo Domingo and during the annexation it was Provincia de Santo Domingo, the use of Hispaniola was never very popular among the Spanish even when It was the name that Columbus himself gave to the island.

As a Dominican, it’s hella freaking cool to see a video about our country. Another point Between 1844 and annexation by Spain. There were many attempts by Haiti to invade and reclaim the east. This stress emitted by Haiti caused many politicians in SD to look for annexation by a great power ( US, Spain, France, UK) for protection. They ended up going with Spain but when Spain decided to reinstate slavery, DR started its Restoration war, led by Luperon who is basically our 4th founding father 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

[@ReydelCiguay]

@Hoopz Your right. For help and their own self protection. Remember Spain is a colonial power that would of pose a threat to Haitis security. Even one of our founding fathers, Francisco del Rosario Sanchez, received help from Haiti and led troops from there, even though both countries fought a war. Our history is a lot deeper and complicated than most of the public knows.

[@klaatu_347]

nice video, but so many key details omitted. The most important one being, how did the French arrive there? Piracy, the island of tortuga was a piracy hub and as such the Spanish avoided that side of the island leaving it open for French arrival. It is also worth mentioning that the Dominican Republic had declared independence 2 months prior to the Haitian invasion in a government which expressed intentions to form part of "La Gran Colombia." Also, the Spanish invasion wasn't an invasion as much as an open invitation by a corrupt government which gave away the island.

Not all Polish soldiers agreed to surrender in 1803. Ignacy Blumer distinguished himself, evacuating his 112 men attacked by 5,000 blacks without loss of a soldier, for which he got promoted to lieutenant colonel. He and his troops embarked on a French ship bound for Europe, but was stopped by the English brig "Racoon". The English, after taking the French crew prisoner, left the Poles on the ship believing they would not survive but they did. Blumer took command with his crew and became known as a pirate operating in Caribbean. He finally returned to Europe. Shot during November Uprising in Warsaw in 1830.

@@dordoight3448 i guess you need to watch the video again, see the culture, tradition, way of living, desires, genetics everything was seen as different, as they and us. You don't have to go overthink it, look at Austro-hungary, they were all whites but the spoke different languages and had different a different culture and we know what happened, now imagine that, but more different and clearly defined borders. In north america there was a clear leader, a common goal, a clear vision, they saw each other as brothers even thought there were germans, brithish, irish, italian descendants. There was no clear border, but they did try to get rid of the (undesirable ones), so no they didn't see each other as different after a few generations since they would just blend into the population and have the same values and language.

The Dominican Republic declared independence from SPAIN in 1821 and only two months later it was INVADED by Haiti for 22 years. Haitians and Dominicans have NEVER been the same people or the same country.

[@Hamkin25]

This history is incorrect, after the revolution and independence in1803, the entire island became Hayti. What people need to understand is that Dominicans are trying to create a history which they don’t have. In 1795 after the treaty of Basel, The Spanish ceded the rest of the island to France which put the entire island under the rule of Toussaint Louverture for France until 1801 when the French arrested him. From 1801 to 1803 there was battle for independent between the Haytian and the French while the entire island was under the French as Saint Domingue. In late 1803 to 1804 Hayti proclaimed their independence of the entire island. There are four constitutions providing proof that the Dominican Republic did not exist until 1844, and technically if a country does not exist, it cannot be controlled, invaded or occupied by another. These constitutions and the treaty of Basel 1795 are the proof that Dominican Republic is a fraud and a lie, and the land belong to the Haytian. After the treaty of Basel, the French and the Spanish asked all Spanish descendant to either move to Cuba, Columbia or any other Spanish colony in the Americas. Some of those Spanish descendent who had a life on the island decided to stay live along side the French, and those Spanish which were a minority are the one claimed that the side of the land clled Dominican Republic today belong to their father. Constitution of Toussaint 1801 St. Domingue, Constitution of independence of the empire of Hayti 1805 Emperor Dessalines, Constitution of 1806-7 of the Republic of Haiti Petion and Boyer, and the constitution of the Republic of Haiti 1843 by president Charles Riviere-Herard. In all of these constitution they are talking of the entire island as the empire of Hayti or the republic of Haiti. The reason that there have always been more Haytian speaking Haytian on the land than Spanish speaking Haytian is because the Spanish were a minority, so after 1844, over many occasions, they imported Spanish prisoners from Spain and many other Spanish speaking country in the Americas to try and create a population. After the death of the emperor in 1806 the island was split horizontally by King Henry and the assassin called Alexandre Petion. After the death of King Henry in 1820, Boyer reunited the whole island again as it was already stated as Hayti from the constitutions. In the 1805 emperial constitution of Hayti the independent country not Haiti the republic of Petion and Boyer, it clearly stated where Hayti starts and where it ends. the Dominicans republic is a fraud created by the West using mulattos or the sons of the white barbaric people you know as the enslavors. That's how Hayti divided into Haiti and Dominican Republic

I like that you weren't shy about portraying American tyranny in this video. Invading a small country because they can't pay a debt, then invading another because the new government there wasn't as US-friendly as the previous one.

I'm surprised, after taking possession of the whole island, France didn't change Hispaniola's name to "Franciola."

[@ulisesjorge]

LOL... here's a thing...they never really have possession. In short, the Spanish were supposed to leave within one year of the handover to France. They never did and it wasn't until Toussaint Louverture occupied the eastern part of the island and forced the issue that the French nominally had control. But in mainland France Louverture actions were not approved and they sent an army to take him out. That's why after Haiti declared independence you see the French still occupying the eastern side of the island, which ended in 1809 when locals rebelled and kick them out and re-established Spanish control.

[@japa2129]

France only had control of the whole island for nine years

[@quisqueyanguy120]

Keep in mind that the local population rebelled against France and decided to join back to Spain in 1808 until 1821. The only reason why the spanish gave Hispaniola to the french was because they were expecting to eventually get it back, which they eventually did.
