Years: 1540 - 1683
The stagnation that will prevail in Santo Domingo until the end of the nineteenth century is interrupted on several occasions by armed engagements, as the French and British attempt to weaken Spain's economic and political dominance in the New World.
The British admiral, Sir Francis Drake, captures the city of Santo Domingo in 1586 and collects a ransom for its return to Spanish control.
Oliver Cromwell dispatches a British fleet commanded by Sir William Penn to take Santo Domingo in 1655.
After meeting heavy resistance, the British sail farther west and take Jamaica instead.
