Answer#1: Hati was the first nation in the new world where
slaves successfully revolted against their
'owners' and establish themselves as their own
country. It was the first black republic in
modern history.The Dominican Republic or Santo
Domingo was a Spanish country. While Hati did
invade and control Santo Domingo for 23 years,
they eventually over threw the invaders and gained
their freedom.
Answer#2: No. The island is now seperated into two
different countries; Haiti and the Dominican
Republic. There is and has been only one Domincan
Republic in which they did gain their independance
from Haiti in 1844; as of today they have their
own political system and economy. Think of it
like when the Americas gained independance from
England / Spain / France...they were at one time
together, but are now seperate, independant
countries.
Answer#3: Haiti and the DR both share and island known as
Hispaniola. The western half is Haiti, the
eastern half is the DR. They are independent
countries.
Answer#4: Haiti owns its section and Dominican Republic owns
its own. Each country is separate. Haiti won its
independence from France.
