Years: 1852 - 1863
Renewed annexation talks between the Dominican and United States governments arouses the concern of Haitian emperor Soulouque.
Motivated at least in part by a desire to prevent the acquisition of any portion of Hispaniola by the slaveholding United States, Soulouque launches a new invasion in November 1855.
However, Dominican forces decisively defeat the Haitians in a number of engagements and force them back across the border by January 1856.
