Not only is Dominican Republic ineligible for DYK (not a 5x expansion, was not brought to GA within the last seven days), but the proposed hook is patently false. The Dominican Republic has not annexed Dominica: the two countries aren't even close to each other, so such an annexation is unlikely.

In many cases the Dominican republic is discussed as a African and European countrie Can we discuss more of the Dominican republic and there relationship to south America and Hispanic people's. Jglover9944 (talk) 05:23, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to be an attemped to make the Dominican Republic more European than it actually is. Everytime someone post a reliable source and more accurate sources that have more realistic estimates from the dominican population, they attempt to reverse the white population and black population. In reality the Dominican population has more black dominicans than white dominicans, with mixed race being the majority. At no point in history was the population of whites higher than the blacks, even when it was just one big island (hispaniola) at the time when it was not divided. Only in the beginning was it different (1490s-1500s). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C56:60F0:B9F0:91F5:10EF:57EA:30EC (talk) 17:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
