The Battle of Santiago (Battle of March 30), was the second major battle of the Dominican War of Independence and was fought on March 30, 1844, at Santiago de los Caballeros, Santiago Province. A force of some Dominican troops, a portion of the Army of The North, led by General José María Imbert, defeated an outnumbering force of troops of the Haitian Army led by General Jean-Louis Pierrot.
Famous quotes containing the word battle:
“Nelson’s famous signal before the Battle of Trafalgar was not: “England expects that every man will be a hero.” It said: “England expects that every man will do his duty.” In 1805 that was enough. It should still be.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
