Talk:Dominican War of Independence

Abrupt ending

So what happened next...?!
The article ends extremely abruptly. Someone needs to say in a few words how and why Santana returned SD to Spain (perhaps even have a separate article for that period?), and then make a logical link to the following period of SD's history. There is no info that I've found on the period 1844–63. BigSteve (talk) 08:57, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Unification of Hispaniola (1822-1844) - Paragraph with no citations

"A group of Dominican politicians and military officers[who?] had expressed interest in uniting the entire island, while they sought for political stability and support under Haiti, which at the time was still seen as having a great deal of wealth and power.[citation needed] Haiti had been by far the richest colony in the western hemisphere and was known as the Pearl of the Antilles."

Why is this paragraph allowed to be there if it doesn't have any citations? Shouldn't it be taken down until it can be proven to be true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Santiaguero95 (talk • contribs) 17:14, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 26 February 2018

Please change the date from the 24 of February to the 27th. The 24th isn't the day of independence, it is the 27th. Please remove all mention of terms that suggest that the DR had a desire to merge with Haiti. The DR was unwillingly invaded by Haiti and was wrongly given control to the island by José Nuñez de Cáceres. 67.81.251.92 (talk) 02:55, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 23:24, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

"unwillingly invaded" hmm...that sounds not so strange.

Soldier Losses

"however, Haiti is estimated to have lost three times more troops than Dominican Republic[1] Dominican Republic had no casualties, 3 wounded"

But it also says that 600 soldiers died when Domicans had only 3 wounded?

But if they had 3 times more troops...should not they have had 9 fallen soldiers, or 9 wounded?

And at the battle of Santiago were 1000 deaths...

It should be fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OPAZL (talk • contribs) 21:32, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

This article appears to be a target for nationalistic disinformation

I just had to correct some pretty flagrant errors in the infobox after consulting the cited source: [1]. Vigilance is warranted here. Generalrelative (talk) 02:54, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
