Spanish reconquest of Santo Domingo

The Spanish reconquest of Santo Domingo (Spanish: Reconquista Española de Santo Domingo) was a successful revolt against French rule in the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo which lasted from November 7, 1808, to July 9, 1809. In 1808, following Napoleon's invasion of Spain, the criollos of Santo Domingo revolted against the French, which caught the attention of British forces engaged in the Caribbean campaign of 1803–1810.
