February 1822 CE

Haitian president Jean-Pierre Boyer takes advantage of internecine conflict in Santo Domingo, while José Cáceres' request for admission to Gran Colombia is in transit, by invading the newly founded Dominican Republic from the east to secure the Spanish part of Hispaniola on February 6, 1822.

Succeeding where Toussaint and Dessalines had failed, Boyer abolishes slavery here and confiscates church property.
