Talk:History of the Dominican Republic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page appears to be identical to the History section of the US State Department, Bureau of the Western Hemisphere "Background Note: Dominican Republic", found at: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/35639.htm
- Yeah, this artcile needs some big improvements, the country's page has more about the US intervention than this one! It's the most incomplete country history page I've seen thus far. And don't tell me to improve it myself, I'm no expert on Dom. Rep. history. Red Star
- It's me again, I just read the link the first user provided, and I gotta say it's outrageous! The article needs to be completely rewritten, as it stands it has to be one of the most POV pages on Wikipedia! Is there a "rewriting" tag or something like that we could apply it?
In particular, the discussion of the 1965 US invasion is muddled at best; I'm no DR expert either, but I'm pretty sure that the invasion wasn't just about "restoring order" - it was about supporting a specific side in the civil war that would protect US interests there. That whole section needs to be rewritten from scratch; the US State Department is an utterly non-neutral source for information about those events, even as a starting point for editing.

[edit] Independence from Haiti
I've deleted the paragraph about the Haitian ocupation being a liberation of the dominican people from spanish domination. The paragraph was based solely on an emotional and particular opinion without any historical backing. The Wikipedia shouldnt be a forum for particular and emotional interpretations of history. 62.206.19.62 09:52, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
