He was born in San Cristobal on October 24, 1891, and came to power in 1930 establishing an oppressive and dictatorship regime. the mass overflow departure of immigrants started in 1965, as a result of the United States invasion of the Dominican Republic. President Lyndon Johnson sent troops on April 30, 1965. The decision to intervene in the Dominican Republic civil war reflected pervasive concerns about a communist takeover similar to the Cuban Revolution in 1959. Living in my country profoundly impacted me, I felt impotent, I was a minor, and I have no control over my destiny. I was traveling to the land that murdered thousands of innocent civilians.
