Dominicans .V.S. Haitians

 War between Dominicans and Haitians 


In 1822, Haitian president Jean-Pierre Boyer invaded Santo Domingo for the third time with the intent of unifying the island. Third time was really the charm this war/ takeover would last for 22 years. The Dominicans wouldn't start to fight back until the year of 1844 and would win the war against the Haitians later on that year after being controlled for 22 years. this war would leave a major culture mishap because the Dominicans will not claim to be black simply because of the war even if some of their ancestors were Haitian.

These are two historical sites you should visit when you come to Nassau, Bahamas.

Fort Montagu- Oldest fort in Nassau,Bahamas the fort was built in 1741-1742 to help defend from the Spanish invasion.

BlackBeard's Tower- In the early 1700's BlackBeard frequently use the tower as a lookout spot when he was in The Bahamas. The tower located 5 miles east of Fort Montagu.

In 1782 Spanish forces under General Galvez capture The Bahamas. Also British-American Loyalist Colonel Andrew Deveaux recaptured in 1783. But years later the Bahamas gained independence July 10th 1973.

Although many people has settle or conquered in the Bahamas the impact they left on the island was good simply because there are different types of food such as West Indian, British, and Bahamian cuisines.
