The contents of the United States occupation of the Dominican Republic (1965–66) page were merged into Dominican Civil War on 16 August 2015. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |

I propose that Dominican Civil War be merged into United States occupation of the Dominican Republic (1965–66), under the name of Dominican Civil War. The two articles pretty much describe a single conflict, additionally I am in the process of expanding the background section and adding references. Catlemur ( talk) 12:55, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
This is a very interesting article. However, after reading it I was not clear on who were on the two sides. Here are some items that need to be addressed. Djmaschek ( talk) 20:45, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Here is a sentence from the last paragraph under Background.

"Wessin expelled Bosch from the country and instated Donald Reid Cabral as the new president. The newly elected president failed to gather popular support..."
All these items have been addressed. B-class. Djmaschek ( talk) 20:27, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
The article states several times that the US was concerned about foreign support to communists. During the height of the Cold War, and in he post Cuban Revolution era, it seems like a legitimate concern. Were Ambassador's warnings justified? What exactly was the extent of foreign support to the communists/rebels/etc? Who was supporting them? How? -- 173.66.74.186 ( talk) 08:36, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
There is absolutely no evidence that the rebels received any foreign support, despite the fact U.S. decided to act, in order to prevent a second Cuban scenario.It was a situation similar to the War in Iraq.-- Catlemur ( talk) 09:30, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

The 1st reference link ( http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/download/csipubs/PowerPack.pdf), leads to a 404-page not found error. Maybe this is the correct link: https://cdm16040.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16040coll3/id/23?
The 7th reference link is under "Dominican Republic" is http://www.stanford.edu/group/ethnic/Random%20Narratives/Dominican%20RepublicRN1.2.pdf. This also leads to a "Page not found" error. I think the correct link is under the "Archived" hyperlink instead: https://web.archive.org/web/20150703220151/http://web.stanford.edu/group/ethnic/Random%20Narratives/Dominican%20RepublicRN1.2.pdf.
The 8th and 12th hyperlinks under "the original" don't work. Ladybugsawake ( talk) 22:00, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
