The final crisis of Santana's second term …
Years: 1852 - 1863
The final crisis of Santana's second term also originates in the foreign policy sphere.
Shortly after the Haitian campaign, the Dominican and United States governments sign a commercial treaty that provides for the lease of a small tract in Samana for use as a coaling station.
Although Santana delays implementation of the lease, its negotiation provides his opponents—including baecistas and the government of Spain—the opportunity to decry Yankee imperialism and demand the president's ouster.
Pressure builds to such an extent that Santana feels compelled to resign on May 26, 1856, in favor of his vice president, Manuel de la Regla Mota.
