24 de abril de 1965 es una fecha para recordar. Fue el inicio de una revolución que exigía democracia y el respeto a lo constitucional, donde se reivindicaba al gobierno de Juan Bosch, derrocado en septiembre de 1963 debido fear of the U.S. from the Dominican Republic becomes another Cuba. The main figure was Colonel Francisco Alberto Caamano Deno, and although this fact is well known, there are many other elements that younger generations do not know, because this topic is rarely touched in the school or college, history class where the focus too much on the Tainos and colonization, without reaching deeper into newer aspects, such as the invasion of 1916, the era of Trujillo, the post-Trujillo and Balaguer twelve years.
frogmen, bombings, supposedly U.S. intervention to preserve life, Interim President Héctor García Godoy and the holding of elections in which Joaquin Balaguer was elected, ushering in the so-called twelve years are some of the events and issues arising from this civil war, amply documented with photos and video.
In addition, on April 21 was commemorated 162 years of the Battle of the Races, which although not as well known or celebrated as those of Azua and Santiago (19 and 30 March 1844, respectively), no longer important. This battle, which took place in the vicinity of Bam in 1849, is part of a series of battles post-independendecia that were waged against Haitians who insisted on invading the country and reclaim the power they once had on this side of the island (1822-1844).
