  • Following 13 years of revolution and civil war, an army of former slaves drives out Napoleon’s troops from Saint Domingue, declaring Haitian independence. The Spanish colony is invaded and reinvaded, but is returned to Spanish rule in 1809. Santo Domingo fears Haitian territorial ambitions, and invades in 1821.
