Haitian Invasion of Santo Domingo

Years: 1805 - 1805

The Haitian invasion of Santo Domingo is a conflict between the newly independent Haiti and its former colonial rulers, the French.

The invasion fails, however.

Some consider it a part of the Napoleonic Wars

“History is important. If you don't know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.”

—Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral ... (2004)
