The Oath dominican_events.1 · dlc016

Meeting at a secret location, a group of revolutionaries known as the Trinitaria has announced their intentions to liberate … from … mismanagement.

"We are convinced that there is no possible merger between Dominicans and Haitians. We are and will be two different peoples. Our destiny is to be independent, absolutely independent. Our society will be called La Trinitaria because it will be made up of groups of three and we will place it under the protection of the Holy Trinity. Our motto: God, Country and Freedom." — Juan Pablo Duarte, Excerpt from the first meeting of the Trinitarios

Rebels Seize the Puerta del Conde dominican_events.2 · dlc016

Catching the … garrison completely by surprise, a group of revolutionaries have stormed Santo Domingo's main fortress and raised the … flag over its battlements, signalling the start of open hostilities against ….

In the shadow of Santo Domingo's great fortress, the conspirators waited. Far fewer than those who had solemnly pledged their name to the cause days prior, and far less boisterous now. Suddenly, a runner stumbled in, breathless: "I think we have been discovered," he says, "a patrol has chased me, and I had to make a long detour just to get here." Panic gripped them, but as the group looked like it might dissolve, a firm "No!" from Mella interrupted them. "There is no time to go back: we will have to be free or we shall die." Lifting his blunderbuss into the air he let out a loud cry: "Long live the Dominican Republic!" and pulled the trigger.

Unity, Not Trinity dominican_events.3 · dlc016

Our integration efforts have borne fruit, and the once-powerful 'Trinitarian' revolutionaries in … have lost most of their support base. The island is whole at last.

To dominate a people is one thing, the aging general thought to himself. To win their hearts is another. He had been able to do the former quite well. The fear of his fusillades had kept many an ansipiring rebel at home. But he had to admit he latter had always escaped him – a fact which … … was all too keen to remind him of. As his battallion left the cantonment, ostensibly for the last time, he couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness. The civilians may claim the glory of the peace as their own, but they owe their operational latitude to his methods.

Extend an olive branch to those willing to grasp it.

We must ensure nothing like it can emerge again. By Whip and Carrot: +30% Assimilation, +10% Radicalism increases for the Open Prejudice Status, +10% Radicalism increases for the Cultural Erasure Status, +10% Radicalism increases for the Violent Hostility Status

Liberty and Security dominican_events.4 · dlc016

… is free from Haitian tyranny at last, yet threats lurk around every corner. It may be wise to request the protection of a great power.

"Does the gentleman from La Vega really suggest that we sell our hard-fought liberty this easily? Is the blood of our martyrs really worth less than a bottle of cheap wine?" "Better the master we know and choose to the one that imposes himself by force. I venerate the sacrifices of our martyrs as much as you, sir. I would just ensure that our sons and daughters does not have to make the same ones."
