Rebellious Dominicans set up a provisional government …
Years: 1852 - 1863
Rebellious Dominicans set up a provisional government in Santiago, headed by General Jose Antonio Salcedo, on September 14, 1863.
Their proclamation of an Act of Independence launches what is known as the War of Restoration.
For their part, the Spanish once again turn to Santana, who receives command of a force made up largely of mercenaries.
However, by this time, his popularity has all but disappeared.
Indeed, the provisional government has denounced Santana and condemned him to death for his actions against his countrymen.
On June 14, 1864, a broken and despondent Santana will save the rebels the trouble of carrying out their sentence by dying (or, unproven speculation asserts, by committing suicide).
