Dominican Flag Raised, Restoration War Begins

August 16th, 1863 161 years ago

Gregorio Luperón raised the Dominican flag in Santo Domingo, signaling the start of the Dominican Restoration War against Spanish rule. This act of defiance was a pivotal moment in the struggle for independence after Spain had reasserted its control over the Dominican Republic in 1861. Luperón’s rebellion inspired many to join the cause for freedom, uniting various factions against a common enemy as they sought to reclaim sovereignty over their homeland.
