3. The unique thing that happened in Dominican Republic is
that Haitian rulers of the island of Hispaniola. When
Christopher Columbus first discovered the island in
1492, he named it La Isla Española, which became
Hispaniola. A few years later the city of Santo
Domingo became the Spanish capital of the New
World, and because of its location in the trade
winds, it was the gateway to the Caribbean. France
gained a foothold on the western end of the island,
which became prosperous, and by 1795 Spain ceded
the entire island to France. By 1804 the black
African slaves in the western portion of the island
(now Haiti) rebelled against the French and ruled
the entire island. French troops eventually reclaimed
the island, but were able to occupy only the western
end. In 1838 a small group of Spanish-speaking
Dominican intellectuals from Santo Domingo
organized a secret society called La Trinitarian to
overthrow the Haitian rule. The society was
established by Juan Pablo Duarte, the son of a
wealthy Dominican family. After the overthrow,
Pedro Santana, one of the leaders in the revolution,
became the first president of the Dominican
Republic.
They do boxing and other stuff too.

discovered by Christopher Columbus in the late 15th
century. The country is on the island of Hispaniola
and occupies two-thirds of its area. Although small in
size, the country has produced many famous people,
particularly world-renowned baseball players.
