The Domican Republic shares half of an island with Hispaniola. The island was originally settled by Native Americans. When Columba’s arrived in 1942mon his first voyage to the new world, he clamied the island for Spain. At the time the island was inhabited by thounds of Native Americans. The number of Taino people which is the same Navitive Americans declined the island rapidly due to diseases brought by Europeans such as smallpox. The city of Santo Domingo was established in 1946 and was the first permanent settlement in the new world. In 1967 Spain ceded control of the western third of the island to France, In 1804 this part would become the country of Haiti. The Haitians would conquer the rest of the island in 1821, but the eastern two thirds would be grantited independence as the country the Domican Republic in 1844. Domican Rebulic
