SummaryResumen

The *mirror* recounted that Pedro Santana proclaimed the annexation of the Dominican Republic to Spain in 1861 while the United States was engaged in the Civil War. A Dominican rebellion broke out two years later, forcing Spain to recognize the republic's independence in 1865. President Grant subsequently attempted to annex the country to the United States, but the treaty was rejected by the U.S. Senate on a tie vote after winning approval from the Dominican public.

Dos años después estalló la rebelión dominicana, obligando a España a reconocer la independencia de la república en 1865. El presidente Grant pretendió más adelante anexionar el país a los Estados Unidos, pero el pacto resultó desaprobado en el Senado estadounidense por un empate de votos luego de ser respaldado por la opinión pública dominicana.

Republic to Spain. The United States was entering upon the Civil war

and had neither the time nor the strength for the prompt and effectual

enforcement of the Monroe dootrine. One result was that Napoleon 111,

counting on the success of the Confederacy, constituted the Republic of

Mexico an empire and put Archduke Maximilian of Austria on the

throne.

Two years after the Dominican Republic was annexed to Spain

its people revolted and restored the republic. In 1865 Spain acknowl

edged its independence. Incidently President Grant desired to annex

the republic to the United States. A treaty for this purpose was rati

the time and the strength to enforce the Monroe doctriue in Mexico and

the French troops withdrew, leaving Maximilian to his fate —execution

in 1867 at the hands of the revolutionists. In 1867 Benito Juarez be

oame the first president of the restored Repnblio of Mexico.
