Summary
Throughout these pages I read, the Dominican Republic was going through a good time period with economy as the Haitians did not. Although after a period of time the Dominicans got into a debt because they owed more then millions to the U.S. Around this time the Dominicans had a bad president who used money from the banks for his personal reasons. He did not care for the Dominicans and simply took advantage of them. The Dominicans although got rid of him eventually because of all the mistreatment, but they weren't the only ones. The Haitian cane cutters where getting mistreatment from the Dominicans and the world watched this. In Haiti also they received a bad president who spent a lot of money unnecessarily. He was the son of one of the older presidents time ago who was the same way. He was known as "baby doc" and he wasted more then 3 million dollars in his wedding. As this occurred the Haitians received messages from the pope giving them advice. From here then I learned how both the Haitians and Dominicans experienced their first democratic president. Both did not last very long and in the Haitians then had the next president remain for 12 years later.
Quotation
"... foreign debt was an international plot to force the two nations of Hispaniola together"(Wucker165).
Reaction
The dominican debt probably was to get both parts together becuase that ment the dominicans would probably try to get along better with haitians. This might happen so that the dominicans could get otu of debt and better their economy, By this the dominicans would then stop mistreting the cane cutters since theyll might need their help. This would be the time that both nations would actually have to put their diffrences aside. So i do believe it was a international plot to make them work together as one.
