1915–25: US Occupation
-
The Marines land in Santo Domingo to impose peace and “restore order” in a country wracked by infighting. The US presence brings foreign investment in the sugar industry and throws peasants off their land. The occupation also creates a National Police Force, from which emerges Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, “the Benefactor”.
