Thanks for this video! I was interested in the history of the Dominican Republic because my biological grandfather is from there and wondered why he came to America. Now I understand it was most likely due to the Civil War in 1965, or perhaps some history just before. Unfortunately, I never met him, as he married my grandmother and had a child with her, my mother, ghosting her afterwards, what I assume, to attain US citizenship.
We make the baby together you me I love you estafany you butiful I come to America for you for 90 day.
I hope you are one of those Dominican-Americans who do not allow themselves to be washed away by the anti-Afrocentric anti-Dominicans who are trying to rewrite our history and erase all our Taino and Spanish heritage and that we only feel African and reject everything that smells of Europe to finish, according to them, calling us “Afro-Dominicans”; when in reality in the Dominican Republic there are only Dominicans.
@@o.ramirez Haitians are coming now
Consider yourself lucky to have Dominican blood
@@o.ramirez You mean Pro-Afrocentrics not Anti, these lunatic far left American idealogues are trying to poison as many wells as they can with their revisionist rethoric. She said her Grandfather was Dominican and she never met him, which means that she isnt Dominican culturally, she probably has the identity of a white American. She isnt one of us and has no say on our identity or how we run our country, you should be more worried about these Dominican-yorks who gett brainwashed by the marxists in their local univerisities.
I was born in USA but my parents are from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 Spanish was all I heard at home but yet my Spanish is horrible and I always get put on blast for not knowing how to speak it properly.... 😒
Me to lol
Don't matter where you born if you parents are dominicans Español,baseball,totones fritos con salami is a must.🤣

Facts💯💯💯💯
Facts! Well done
Now that's what you call quick. Thanks for enlightening me about the history of a great nation!
im from dominican republic and this is cool nice job 🇩🇴
Will be living in dominican republic in a few days, I'm dominican but I'm American, I'll be seeing family I've never seen some are upper class and some are lower class, I know little to nothing of my own culture, so I hope to seize this as an opportunity to find myself and better understand my culture, this will be my first time leaving the country as well as going on a plane so I'm quite nervous, but watching videos that teach me about the history as well as the culture of dominican republic has helped to ease my worries, this video is much appreciated, thank you to anyone who read this and wish me luck!
good luck
Well now I know why my dad likes baseball so much
Fr
I love my Dominican ancestry. I love being Dominican period!!!!
It wasna very simplistic video, unfortunately. For example, santana was a Piece of shit that took power by force....3 times. And imprisioned our founding fathers. Even killed one of their wives. He also bankrupted our country and after all of that, had the balls to try to sell our country back to spain.
Better to be Dominican than Haitian
Same I’m Dominican🇩🇴
Always awesome my favorite channel keep going!
Im from Puerto Rico, and always wanted to learn about my Caribbean neighbors.
I visited this country a few years ago, from the US, and have to say, the beauty of it and its people is amazing. I enjoyed my visit and would love to return someday.
Did you try driving Buggy in the dune? Or deep sea diving?
@@Watch-0w1 hi and no, but both sound like fun!
I sincerely appreciate thy efforts to culminate the knowledge of Dominican Republic history within folks such as thyself who don't have a single idea what my Latino/a history book is about. for real thanks man.
great episode mr history
Amazing doc sir really appreciate it
I am from Dominacan Republic and I am so happy that I can finally see someone talking about my beautiful country
This was put together nicely, it kind of took me back through a junior-high and high-school history class in 5 mins LOL...
Love the video. Keep up the good work.👍👍👍👍👍
Per Alan Klein’s “Dominican Baseball: New Pride, Old Prejudice”..
Contrary to the common narrative, the prevailing theory is that the Cubans introduced Baseball to the Dominican Republic. It’s documented that Cuban Sugar tycoons brought the sport to the island in the late 1800’s.
The US presence in the 1900s certainly helped solidify baseball’s dominating popularity in the country. Dominican pride revolved around their triumphs against US occupiers in the diamond. The best ballplayers of that era are still regarded as folk heroes to this day.
I live in the Dominican Republic as an expat. Truly appreciate this video.
My beautiful Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
1:15 Spain did not abandon the island. It's crazy to say it. I hear my dumb colleagues say that too. Hispañola was the center of Spanish politics, religion/spirituality and the military.
Excelente biografia de mi Isla, no dejaste ningun detalle, de todos los acontecimientos hustoricos, asi mismo fue, muchos paises poderosos matandose por esta pequeña Isla, es que mi Isla es bella!!!! Felicidades...
Bueno también es la mía y mucha más gente aunque me vine a los Estados Unidos cuando tenía tres años
Google classroom work but this actually is very well made imma subscribe
Dominican history is so rich, I'm proud to be half Dominican. Viva Duarte, Mella, Sánchez, y Luperón 🙏🏾🇩🇴💯

Suuuuper Dominican
I was born in New York city and raised in Rockland County new york my parents are from Dominican 🇩🇴 Republic
Born in a rural area in the DR, now living in America! Subbed🇩🇴!
i’m 1/2 dominican and was raised by my puerto rican side of the family that hates dominicans (a lot of resentment towards me and my dad) so it’s healing to learn about my culture day by day
PR can’t go a day without thinking about us. we don’t even care for them , we let em suffer in their envy
Excellent history
Dominicano soy, de mis raíces no me voy a olvidarme... 🇩🇴
Your talking really fast there
I was thinking the same hahaha , i have to change the velocity lol

Im Haiti, Howdy Neighbor
*Haitian
First video I've seen, but I like you sir, have yourself a subscriber
My Daughter is Fil-Domincan she knows the Domincan Republic🇩🇴
Great video
The fact you haven't done a video on Puerto Rico should be a crime!
The U.S. is always trying to be that "friend" that has no business in anything... metiche is an understatement.
We depend on hospitality heavily but it is sad to see how poverty and lack of education is still a major issue in the D.R in this day and political corruption. We have so many resources and yet our people lack basic needs for fresh water, light (light gets cut off at a certain time), food and education. I don't get it. Now with this pandemic thing. Kids have to attend school from home where for the most part-- most dont even have computers nor internet connection (which I was told by a family member that the President said he would provide these things for free so kids could keep learning from home) and once elected none of that happened. So the one thing that bothers me with all this is... yeah everyone love Dominican Republic for all its resources and beauty but does anyone really care about the people? I love my country and I love the U.S, I just wish there was more constructive way to do things.
Actually, they already started giving the laptops and heping people pay for internet here in boca chica :)
@@BrYAn-uu6nm yay!!! That's so good to hear!!! So it is in the works... ahh. Thank you for that information. 😆 Happy Sunday!!! Good vibes from one platanero to another.
Im proud of being dominicano. Ya tu save la vaina klk
One thing is that leonel fernandez is my dads cousin and i love the video❤❤❤
needed to do an brochure with this info, thanks!
I know but it ok but your forgot about the Ciguayo and the Macoris people and these two groups were distinct from the Taino of most of the Island and the Ciguayos inhabited the Samena Peninsula and the Macoris inhabited other parts of DR
My middle school is actually named after Patria Mirabel.
God so loved the world that he give his one and only begotten son that who ever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life
Me using this for hw
This is why people say it that Dominicans are racist with Haitians it's nothing personal it's just that Dominicans are very patriotic people and to know that one's Haiti was ruling their country and now thousands of patients want to go to the Dominican Republic for jobs
Don’t bring Haitians into this please
They're broke that's why.
When Spain ruled and caused way more casualties total than Haiti but yeah keep hiding atrocities committed to Haitians because of "patriotism"
“ patients” bih you stand for nothing
@@Marleydavis8 Hard not to, when Haiti has been on DRs dick for 200 years, never staying on their side always crossing to our side to disturb the peace, if not in the form of military invasions, its in the form of rampent crime across our border territories which prompted the parsley massacre and now in the present its in the form of mass illegal immigration, human trafficing, contraband and international attacks against our country so they could get their way on our side.
Not only the most visited country in the Caribbean but the 2nd most visited country in Latin America after Mexico and it is just a piece of land.
Pretty interesting and often funny presentation.
I love history
well done !!
Well done, kind regards from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
2:36 that’s my great great great great great grandfather ;)
it would be great great instead
I love my country.
You’re missing a very important part of the history of the Dominican Republic…in the interest of the American Reconstruction, Ulysses S Grant sent Fredrick Douglass to the island…what happened next?
He also got some things wrong, Trujillo didnt kill the Mirabal sisters there is Zero evidence for that claim, the blame belongs to General Imbert Barreras.
I was born in NAGUA and I am proud of the hardships our country ha dot go through
I was born into the us but my parents are Dominican this is a cute country! (That makes me latin american i think)
If you were born in USA and you dont even speak Spanish you are NOT Latín America
@@JojoriumYT true. I was born in america but I’m connected to Dominican culture (my whole family is Dominican) and speak Spanish everyday
@@angelramireznunezso you’re just Dominican

I kinda wanted you to go into your last question. What does await the DR haha??
Getting my dual citizenship and buying a house to retire in the Dominican Republic
Salu2 de RD
I’m soo proud of my country but I don’t know sht about the history lol
I was born in Santo Domingo but I’m also half Chinese.
You video is appreciated but it left out too much next time you make a video of another country try to talk to knowledgeable locals to get a feel for what’s most important to include
Damn my son ain’t mention hipolito mejia that was our best time
Fuck Mejía, lie.
thats a complete lie, hipolito mejia was horrible.. just like the pld
its funny im both haitian and Dominican all of my grandparnts had kids with a hatian women or Dominican women and same way around kinda a rebalious way to get at my stern grand elders
The Dominican Republic is not an Island! It’s a country surrounded by water on three sides. It’s part of an island shared with Haiti.
Soy un dominicano de corazon #dominicanoforever

Heyy 🇩🇴DR Wsp Fam
4:18 - pretty sure we’ve seen him in Breaking Bad
And please be very careful with the words you say because the words you say can make you unclean and comes from your heart
In the Bible it said something like this and Jesus Christ said something like this but God bless
I am Dominican
All that and the corruption and violence, drugs makes it very dangerous
The original were unknown? That's that Euro Imperial Racism BS. Who were the original of anywhere? It depends on what year you're looking at. There were full Blood Tainos and are Tainos. We had a Paper Genocide done by the Church. Enriquillo was a Taino Royal who was saved by the church and fought the Spanish for freedom for Ten years making his rebellion the first successful slave revolt in this side of the hemisphere. The DR also has the 1st and oldest University in this is of the Planet and the only country to have the Bible on its flag.
Real talk
A lot of untold dark History that happened to Our Native people
Who cares. the weak get conquered that is ALL OF Human history. A Dominican cant feel sympathy for the natives, while not feeling guilty for the crime. Since we are As much the Spanish conquistadors as we are the tainos. In fact the average Dominican has more European blood than Native or African, so painting the Spanish as villians is the equivalent of punching yourself in the face.
What happened?
you forgot to add about africa...
Right🤦
What ?
Im from D.R myself LOL
Nobody cares about dr but I do
What about the history of Laos can you find the history of Laos
no hablaste de de las atrocidades cometidas por los españoles hacia los tainos y caribes pero si que ellos eran 'Hostiles' como si fueran animales incapaces de cualquier relación diplomática
Hubo relaciones entre los nativos, caribes y tainos y los españoles y hubo hostilidades de ambas partes. Y al final fueron los españoles los que esclavisaron a los tainos
KevN El Cojo Mira el vídeo otra ves. El si comenta sobre esas cosas brevemente.
Tus ancestros? Hablas de los Españoles cómo si no fueran tus ancestros.
@@gladimirsavinon104 Exacto, nosotros tenemos mucho mas de los españoles que de los tainos además.
@@raycuevas7577 si no por los españoles ni existimos ahora mismo jajajaja
