This document collection offers insights into the rise and fall of Rafael L. Trujillo, who was perhaps the cruelest dictator in the history of Latin America. Students will also gain an understanding of the evolution and effectiveness of the United States foreign policy initiatives in Latin America as they applied to the Dominican Republic. Students will engage with a wide range of primary sources, constructing an argument based on the central question: How did changes in U.S.-Dominican relations relate to Rafael L. Trujillos rise to power, dictatorship, and demise in the Dominican Republic from 1904 to 1961?
