The Haitians invade their eastern neighbor again…

April 1849 CE

The Haitians invade their eastern neighbor again in 1849 after France recognizes the Dominican Republic as an independent nation.

In an overwhelming onslaught, the Haitians seize one frontier town after another.

Pedro Santana, being called upon to assume command of the troops, meets the enemy at Ocoa on April 21, 1849, with only four hundred men, and succeeds in utterly defeating the Haitian army.
