The Dominican Independence War gave the Dominican Republic freedom from Haiti on February 27, 1844. Before the war, the island of Hispaniola had been unified under Haitian rule for a period of 22 years when Haiti occupied the independent state of Spanish Haiti in 1822. After the struggles that were made by Dominican nationalists to free the country from Haitian control, they had to withstand and fight against a series of Haitian incursions that served to consolidate their independence (1844-1856). After the war Haitian soldiers would make incessant attacks to try to gain back control of the nation, but these efforts were to no avail, as the Dominicans would go on to decisively win every battle.
