  • 00:10:00 This video discusses the history of Dominican-American dictator, Horacio Vázquez Trujillo. Trujillo, who was Major and Commander of the North Department, was elected president in March 1924 with an overwhelming majority of votes over his opponent, attorney Francisco Jota Combed. Trujillo took office on December 6, 1924, and promoted Lieutenant Colonel Trujillo to Chief of Staff of the Army. However, Trujillo's administration was plagued by corruption and financial problems. In 1929, Trujillo was overthrown by a military coup led by Lieutenant Colonel Trujillo.
  • 00:15:00 In 1930, presidential candidate Horacio Vázquez underwent surgery to remove his left kidney. President Alfonseca asked Trujillo to present himself, but Trujillo did not arrive at the appointed time, and when they were not expecting him, he appeared before President Alfonseca accompanied by 20 army officers. President Alfonseca hesitated and chose to leave the decision on the army chief until Horacio Vázquez returned. With Horacio Vázquez's return, he ordered the most recognized officers to resume their functions in the presidential mansion.
  • 00:20:00 In 1930, the Dominican Republic was in an economic crisis due to falling prices for Dominican products in North American markets. This led to a political crisis, with the main institutions of the state (except for the army) falling to Trujillo's control. Trujillo asked the president of the Dominican Republic, Horacio Vázquez, for his support, but Vázquez refused to listen to Trujillo's conspiracies and instead followed the pledges of loyalty Trujillo had made him. In the end, Trujillo's allies took control of the city, and Vázquez and his wife were able to flee to the north American diplomatic legation.
  • 00:25:00 In 1930, Trujillo moved to the town of Commander, near the Haitian border, to hold an interview with a Colonel from the U.S. Marine Corps. Trujillo affirmed that he would follow the wishes of the people and would not appoint himself president. This interview helped Trujillo gain support for his presidential candidacy, and he was eventually elected president in May of that year.
  • 00:30:00 In 1930, Trujillo was elected president of Dominica using only a 25% turnout, according to estimates. He was later assassinated, leading to an armed uprising against him. Many notable Dominicans of the time, including a lawyer and one of the most important members of the oligarchy, were arrested and humiliated without charges.
  • 00:35:00 Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, known as Trujillo, took office as the Constitutional President of the Dominican Republic in 1930. The Trujillo presidency was 37 years old and possessed a marked social resentment that would accompany him until the end of his life. This resentment was rooted in Trujillo's origins in the town of San Cristóbal, which was a provincial home of the lower middle class. Trujillo made an effort to distinguish himself from his natural environment by dressing impeccably and taking care of his way of behaving before others. This eventually led to his struggle to be accepted in the high society of the time. However, Trujillo was never able to pass the fifth year of primary education. Despite the merits achieved by Trujillo, his repeated application to join the social clubs of the demanding Dominican oligarchy was rejected. This rejection meant a deep life with saying in turn a great resentment against the sectors that did not accept him. Trujillo tore down the lines of social expectations well considered by others and put them at his feet in dominating all facets of society. He was hostile and for money and for his fist to make all men and women depend on him. This eventually led to his enslaved world of followers.
  • 00:40:00 Rafael Vidal was Trujillo's long-time collaborator and served as the Prime Minister of the Dominican Republic from 1930 to 1944. Vidal was convicted of embezzlement and murder in the 1970s, and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. However, he was released due to Trujillo's influence. The cabinet members discussed by the North American Legation in 1930 do not appear in the report, but their activities were known to all. César Tolentino was the Director of the newspaper La Información de Santiago, which promoted the February uprising against Horacio Vásquez. José Manuel Jiménez, son of the former president, was a lawyer for the North American sugar companies and head of the intelligence service of the Dominican National Police. He was the person who had the most influence over Trujillo. On September 3, 1930, the city of Santo Domingo was destroyed by a powerful cyclone. With winds of approximately 290 kilometers per hour, the cyclone of Sants, where with a balance of 2,000 dead, 6,000 injured, more than 9,000 five hundred buildings destroyed and around 30,000 homeless people in the middle of the tragedy in Trujillo, showed extraordinary energy and of
  • 00:45:00 In this video, Trujillo is shown touring the country with his army in 1931. He is visited by two prominent Dominican citizens, Dr. Francisco Pensa and Joaquín Balaguer, who speak on his behalf. The purpose of the tour is to show off Trujillo's military hardware and to show his loyalty to the nation. Trujillo's economic policies during this time period were very successful, and he became very wealthy as a result.
  • 00:50:00 In the 1930s, Trujillo led a successful effort to reduce wages and balance the national economy by means of sharp reductions in imports. He designed a national policy of incentive to domestic production, promoting rice, dairy, meat, and other agricultural products and manufacturing. These successes were due, in large part, to despotic methods used to maintain control over the economic crisis Trujillo faced. Trujillo was a intelligent, serene, and brave leader who was organized and efficient; he also had a great gift for command and deep knowledge of the darkest emotions of human beings. He was illiterate but cunning, able to control the most important intellectual leaders and listen to and follow their projects. However, all of Trujillo's qualities were exaggerated, leading to the elevation of him to superhuman status. Numerous honors and decorations were given to him, and he was frequently referred to as a "divine man." The public generally agreed that Trujillo was a great leader and patriot. Trujillo was elected honorary doctor of law at all universities in Santo Domingo in May 1933, and was granted the title Father of the New Nation by Congress on August 16, 1933. Trujillo was not a poet or painter, and his only talent was
  • 00:55:00 The video discusses the power of a leader, specifically Trujillo, and how intellectuals, often serving the regime, placed him above all mortals, generating feelings of admiration and veneration in the population. This in turn encouraged a submissive and obedient attitude towards Trujillo's power. Additionally, Trujillo's megalomania was also a factor in his popularity. The Dominican Republic will soon be facing an "angle" due to Trujillo's excessive and delusional self-importance, according to intellectuals. However, the people of the country, in private conversations, referred to him simply as "Chapita" (little hat) or "Bendik." In February 1934, Trujillo was elected President of the Dominican Republic at the national convention of the Dominican Republican Party. He was selected over other candidates, including General Santo Domingo Gaspar Bendik, due to his popularity among the people. Trujillo did not attend the national convention when he was nominated, and his supporters did not present him with any objections. In the election of 1934, Trujillo was the only candidate in the Dominican Republic's presidential race, and he was elected with almost 98% of the vote. Trujillo took office on August 16,

The video discusses how Adolfo Trujillo, the dictator of Santo Domingo in the 1930s, became increasingly opposed by a group of Haitian immigrants who were thriving economically. In order to cover up the race issue, Trujillo developed a plan to whiten the Haitian race, which led to the execution of a massacre that killed around 15,000 Haitian nationals. The video argues that the power of a leader is often found in the group, and that the truth about an assassin is often found in the group.

  • 01:00:00 In 1935, after years of heavy-handed rule, Santo Domingo's new leader, Adolfo Trujillo, was awarded the Order of the Savior of the Crown. This was one of Trujillo's earliest distinctions, and while Bishop Nouel was leading the church, good relations between Trujillo and the church were maintained. However, when Father Rafael Castellanos, a highly-respected priest, was appointed arzobispo of Santo Domingo in 1932, Trujillo's policy towards the church changed drastically when Father Castellanos exposed his activity towards a secular magazine in early 1933. A Mass was held and Father Castellanos included a blessing for all public officials, but without referring to Trujillo specifically. Trujillo suspended the church's subsidy and asked the Vatican to remove Castellanos from his post. Ignoring Father Castellanos's wishes, Trujillo made the appointment of Cardinal Alejandro Novel as arzobispo-vitalicio and ecclesiastical adviser to the government. Trujillo also granted Castellanos a pension, which solidified Trujillo's power and helped him consolidate his control over the nation's finances. Trujillo's acceptance of people's suffering in exchange
  • 01:05:00 In the 1930s, dictator Trujillo faced growing opposition. One of the groups opposed to Trujillo was a group of haitian immigrants who had settled in the north of the Dominican Republic near the Haitian border. These immigrants had developed their own economic base, including modest amounts of land, homes, and livestock. They had also developed a thriving trade with Dominican residents to the south of the border, resulting in the circulation of Haitian currency in broad areas of the Dominican Republic beyond Trujillo's control. Trujillo's regime was also challenged by the autonomous economic existence of this community, which was in conflict with Trujillo's dictatorial power structure, given its centralized and control of all political and economic activity in the country. Trujillo could not tolerate the situation by the end of 1937 and, in a bid to cover up the race issue, developed a plan to whiten the Haitian race. This intolerance of the dictatorship couldn't allow activities opposed to the dictatorial structure and traditional proclivities of dictatorship-led regimes to continue. This led to the execution of an appalling and perverse order, known as the "Haitian massacre," which took place from September 28th to October 8th, 1937, killing around 15,000 Haitian nationals
