Dominican Republic - Independence Day
The Dominican Republic celebrates its Independence Day on February 27. On this day in 1844, the independence of the Dominican Republic from Haiti was declared.
The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern five-eights of the island of Hispanola, the rest of the island's territory belongs to Haiti. Until 1795, the eastern part of the island was a Spanish colony named Santo Domingo, while the western part belonged to France. In the 1795 Treaty of Basel, Spain ceded its part of Hispanola to France.
