Third Republic (Dominican Republic)
The Third Republic[1] of the Dominican Republic covers from July 12, 1924 with the departure of US troops after the end of the first US occupation, until April 28, 1965 with the disembarkation of American troops after the start of the April 1965 War and the second American occupation. This period is also known as the Age of Trujillo, because of the strong influence exerted by the Trujillo regime over much of these 41 years.
