The Treaty of Basel whose French sovereignty over Santo Domingo lasted barely on paper, left the Dominican east suspended between colonial masters while the western half of Hispaniola became the world's first Black republic.
Era de Francia (1795-1813) — the period in which Spain ceded the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola to France through the Treaty of Basel, creating a colonial vacuum that neither power could effectively fill as the Haitian Revolution consumed the island's western half. Toussaint Louverture unified the entire island under Haitian control in 1801, French forces under Leclerc briefly reasserted authority before being expelled, and Santo Domingo's Spanish Creole population found themselves caught between Haitian sovereignty and Napoleonic imperial ambition. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that Basel cession and Era de Francia Dominican heritage legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
