1492–1795, 1809-1821 Flag of the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo The Cross of Burgundy flag represents the Spanish Empire.
1795-1809 Flag of the Saint-Domingue The tricolour flag of the French First Republic. France came to own the whole island by the Treaty of Basel, as Spain ceded Santo Domingo as a consequence of the French Revolutionary Wars.
1821-1822 Flag of Spanish Haiti. On 9 February 1822 Jean-Pierre Boyer annexed the Spanish out of the colony of Santo Domingo, which a few months before had proclaimed its independence from Spain (30 November 1821) under the name The Republica del Haiti Español. An attempt to declare its alliance to Gran Colombia, the flag was raised in the early weeks of 1822, but it was short-lived when nine weeks later Boyer had ended the republic.
1861-1865 Flag of Santo Domingo. In 1861, general Pedro Santana asked queen Isabella II of Spain to retake control of the Dominican Republic, after a period of only 17 years of independence. Spain, which had not come to terms with the loss of its American colonies 30 years earlier, accepted his proposal and made the country a colony again.
