According to this article, 'the newly independent Dominicans were forcefully annexed by Haiti in February 1822'. However, if you read the article on the Dominican War of Independence, you find something rather different:
Haiti's president, Jean-Pierre Boyer, a mulatto who was seen as an ally promised his full support to the frontier governors, and thus he ceremoniously entered the country with around 10,000 soldiers in February 1822, after most of the cities and towns proclaimed their allegiance to Boyer between November 1821 and January 1822. On February 9, 1822, Boyer formally entered the capital city, Santo Domingo, where he was received by Núñez who offered to him the keys of the Palace. Boyer rejected the offer, while saying: "I have not come into this city as a conqueror but by the will of its inhabitants". The island was thus united from "Cape Tiburon to Cape Samana in possession of one government."
I will not make the alteration myself since I don't know enough about the period, but it does seem that this article is incorrect at present. If someone knows more, I ask them to comment, or go on to make the change if they are confident they are right. LastDodo (talk) 13:12, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
The end of the introduction mentions that the country is highly vulnerable to natural disasters but no source is given. Freddyaboulton (talk) 14:34, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
