    Extractions: General Information The Spaniards used the island of Hispaniola (of which Haiti is the western part and the Dominican Republic the eastern) as a launching point from which to explore the rest of the Western Hemisphere. French buccaneers later used the western third of the island as a point from which to harass English and Spanish ships. In 1697, Spain ceded the western third of Hispaniola to France. As piracy was gradually suppressed, some French adventurers became planters, making Saint Domingue, as the French portion of the island was known, the "pearl of the Antilles"one of the richest colonies in the 18th century French empire. During this period, African slaves were brought to work on sugarcane and coffee plantations. In 1791, the slave population revoltedled by Toussaint L'Ouverture, Jean Jacques Dessalines, and Henri Christopheand gained control of the northern part of the French colony, waging a war of attrition against the French. By January 1804, local forces defeated an army sent by Napoleon Bonaparte, established independence from France, and renamed the area Haiti. The impending defeat of the French in Haiti is widely credited with contributing to Napoleon's decision to sell the Louisiana territory to the United States in 1803. Haiti is the world's oldest black republic and the second-oldest republic in the Western Hemisphere, after the United States. Although Haiti actively assisted the independence movements of many Latin American countries, the independent nation of former slaves was excluded from the hemisphere's first regional meeting of independent nations, in Panama in 1826, and did not receive U.S. diplomatic recognition until 1862.

Although this site is viewable in all browsers, it will look much better in a browser that supports Web standards. The University of Pittsburgh Department of History offers a wide variety of courses and out-of-class activities that help students and faculty to view the history of the United States from local, continental, hemispheric, Atlantic, and global perspectives. U.S. historians at Pittsburgh have national and international reputations for their strengths in U.S. social and economic history, and particularly in the fields of U.S. legal and military history, labor and the working class, race, cities, and women and gender. Many maintain a lively interest in the relationship of work, society, economy, and culture. Others analyze central themes in U.S. history from comparative points of view or explore the history of the city of Pittsburgh and of Western Pennsylvania as a region. While recognizing that most MA and PhD students who enter the Pittsburgh program will ultimately teach U.S. history, the department can point to increasing numbers of recent graduates who have found work in local, regional, and national public history settings, using the analytical, research, and writing research skills honed in their studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Demand for U.S. historians who can teach world, global, or Atlantic history is strong, and also possibly growing.

    Extractions: Crossroads School Winner of a Pulitzer Prize, Japan's Cosmos Prize, and a MacArthur fellowship, Jared Diamond has become the best-known writer to explore world history. Guns, Germs, and Steel , his third book, has achieved unusual success among popular audiences as well as in high school and college courses. Diamond's recently published Collapse: How Some Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed recounts the environmental disasters engulfing a variety of peoples, among them Easter Islanders, Greenland's 11 th th century Norse settlers, Mayans, and contemporary Rwandans and Haitians. Yet Diamond insists that choice plays a role in a society's survival. Cultural choice (in this case, to continue agriculture rather than adapt to an increasingly hostile Arctic environment) doomed Greenland's Norse but not the neighboring Inuit. According to Diamond, not all choices are bad ones: political decisions have, he argues, thus far saved the Dominican Republic from neighboring Haiti's fate.

Morales, Executive Director of Special Academic Programs; Distinguished Authorities; Faculty Members; Students; Ladies and Gentlemen: Some years ago, in the mid eighties, I had the opportunity of visiting Seton Hall University. At that time, I was part of a group of Dominican university professors who came to share their views and experiences with U.S. scholars on a set of important issues regarding our nations. As I recall, Seton Hall was then a joyful place, bursting with eagerness for learning as much as with passion for basketball. Later on, when I was lucky enough to catch the Seton Hall basketball team on T.V., I would always remember my visit here and say to myself, sometimes biting my nails: “Come on, boys, let’s beat them.”. Today, I am honored and privileged to receive an Honorary Doctoral Degree in Human Letters form a higher learning institution as prestigious as Seton Hall for what has been considered as accomplishments of my administration in strengthening democracy and positioning the Dominican Republic in international affairs.

    Extractions: This overview of the Dominican Republic’s geography, history, culture, and people will help you place the primary source information in each of the modules in context. The Dominican Republic, located in the Caribbean chain of islands between Cuba and Puerto Rico, occupies the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola. The Atlantic Ocean forms its northern coast, while the waters of the Caribbean wash its southern shores. The country of Haiti occupies the western one-third of Hispaniola. Internationally known for its Spanish ruins, beautiful palm-fringed beaches, and lofty mountain peaks, the Dominican Republic is the second largest nation in the Caribbean, after Cuba. It is only slightly larger than Vermont and New Hampshire and about half the size of Ohio. It lies just 600 miles southeast of Florida and 68 miles east of Puerto Rico. The Dominican Republic is one of the world’s most topographically diverse nations. Its 19,386 square miles comprise more than 20 distinct regions with a remarkable variety of scenery: everything from lush tropical jungles, lowlands and valleys, tall mountain ranges, rivers and lakes, semi-arid deserts to some of the most agriculturally productive land in the entire Caribbean region. Santo Domingo, the capital of the country since 1496, is one of the Dominican Republic’s four major cities. With a population of 2,411,895, Santo Domingo is a modern city and the seat of national power and administration. It is also the hub of financial and business activity, the home of the country’s growing middle class, the site of the largest institution of higher learning, and the center of cultural attractions that include art galleries, libraries, museums, and concert halls.

    Extractions: [an error occurred while processing this directive] Dominican Republic Travel Guide : History[an error occurred while processing this directive] History of the Dominican Republic Paintings by John Lewis, a locally well known Dominican painter whom Hispaniola.com commissiond to draw snapshots of the Dominican history. For at least 5,000 years before Christopher Columbus "discovered" America for the Europeans, the island which he called Hispaniola was inhabited by Amer-Indians. Anthropologists have traced 2 major waves of immigration, one from the West in Central America (probably Yucatan) and the second from the South, descendant of the Arawakan Indian tribes in Amazonia and passing through the Orinocco valley in Venezuela. It is from this second source that the ancestors of the Taino Indians who welcomed Columbus on his first voyage originated. The word Taino meant "good" or "noble" in their language, and not only were the Indians peaceful and generous in their hospitality, but early Spanish chroniclers document that no Spaniard ever saw Indians fighting among themselves. By the end of the 15th century the Tainos were well organized into five tribes, and are considered to have been of the verge of civilization and central government. Recent estimates indicate that there probably were as many as 200,000 Tainos on the island at the time. Within a short time of his departure, these settlers began fighting among themselves, with some of them getting killed. They also offended the natives by forcibly taking 3 or 4 of their wives or sisters each, and forcing them to work as their servants. After several months of these abuses, a tribal chief named Caonabo attacked the settlement and killed the remaining Spaniards. So when Columbus returned to the island the next spring with a large expedition, he and the Spaniards were shocked to find that the settlement they had left behind was empty and had been burned to the ground.
