Dominican Republic hotels - About Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic (Spanish: República Dominicana; Spanish pronunciation: [re̞ˈpuβ̞lika ð̞o̞miniˈkana]) is a nation on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The western third of the island Hispaniola is occupied by the nation of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands that are occupied by two countries, Saint Martin being the other.
The Dominican Republic is the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Americas: Santo Domingo de Guzmán, the current capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo.
For most of its independent history, the nation experienced political turmoil and unrest, suffering through many non-representative and tyrannical governments. Since the death of military dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina in 1961, the Dominican Republic has moved toward a liberal economic model, which has made it the largest economy in the region, and towards representative democracy.
